GOING: S(7)

Ladbrokes Quick Multi 0-64 Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.94)  

Royal Hill should find the front with The Marg Factor and The Arrow on his heels. MR VIVACI (3) resumes for the Waller yard and is proven fresh. He brings strong city form and won a recent jumpout. Has a sticky barrier but he's likely to come back further improved and should be hard to beat. SHEZASMOKEY (10) also draws out but she resumed here with a solid effort over this trip off a Maiden win on debut. She's been freshened and won't have to improve much to be in the finish. GRINZINGER EARL (2) resumed with a 58 win at Moe and is further improved. He's been kept on the fresh side and with the extra fitness is a chance. SMOKE 'N' OAKUM (8) resumed an easy 58 winner at Echuca 25 days ago and has jumped out since. He's come back in better order, topping his Queensland best. The 3kg claim brings him into it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Mr Vivaci.
