TICKETS ON SALE FOR THE 2025 LADBROKES GATTON CUP 28 JUNE RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1400m

Track: HEAVY 8     Rail: +2m 860m-450m; +1.5m 450m-280m; True Remainder.  

Beat Hollow and Singular possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. SINGULAR (5) will skip across and can build on the threatening efforts at Ipswich and the Sunshine Coast. In good hands and is well-paced in a country 58. PRETTY RHO (10) won this track/grade and then didn't handle the Sunshine Coast synthetic over a mile in a 78. She rates well and is a decent chance to bounce. BEAUTY EIGHT (3) capped placings on the Gold Coast poly with an easy all-the-way win in Maiden grade at Casino. He has plenty of scope for improvement and is sure to give a sight. MISS MONEYPENNY (9) resumed in good order for a leading metro stable, and she has plenty up for sleeve. Has the first time blinkers applied and is back in grade. Quick improvement is likely. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Singular.
