GOING: S(6)

LADBROKES FORM GENIUS QTIS RATINGS BAND 0 - 50 Handicap 1250m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: True.  

Moderate tempo with Lord Power leading the way. BEAR'S BEST (7) was a beaten odds-on favourite at Innisfail last time out when finding 1500m a touch too far. He will be better off over 1250m and can make amends. Follow your money. GROVERS PREDICTION (8) is another who is battling to win another race. She has the pole position and is well placed at the weights after a 3kg claim. She is not without some each-way claims in a field like this. INJADA (4) needed his fresh-up run here 9 days ago after making the move from NSW late last year. The extra 300m will suit him, and he should have no trouble picking up a win in this area at short notice. LORD POWER (1) has raced his way into full fitness and finished runner-up 2 weeks ago at Innisfail. A wet track will help, and he is capable of taking this out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Injada each way.
