GOING: G(4)

TICKETS ON SALE NOW - 2024 LADBROKES GATTON CUP SATURDAY 29TH JUNE Class 1 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: Out 0.5m from 900m-600m. Out Out 1.5m from 600m-250m.  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Brave Agenda. Gollan-trained BRAVE AGENDA (5) can win this at best and will be better for the Doomben outing in stronger. The former NSW galloper has her third run for the yard and is suited over the longer trip. She just needs average luck pushing forward. DARK THINKER (7) also presents for a sharp metro barn. Improved at Ipswich stepping up to 1700m and will be better for that. She also has an awkward barrier but is a winning hope. BETTER BE SLICK (1) was good winning an Ipswich Maiden and then found a tough race at the Sunshine Coast missing a place. This suits better and he maps for the run of the race. A chance. SAXON SLAYER (4) peaks and has been knocking on the door. Maps well and will get every chance in easier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Brave Agenda.
