GOING: G(4)

LADBROKES TOP 2/3/4 BETTING Class 2 Handicap 950m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 32)   Rail: True Entire Course..  

Good tempo expected with Threebrothers, Singular and Catalina Dreaming rolling forward. CITY OF BOULDER (4) was last at the races when she finished fourth over 1500m at this track on May 29. Has found the right race and can feature while fresh. The well-related KHABALOV (1) (full to G1 winner Communist) resumes from a spell of five months and is having his first outing under new trainer Roy Chillemi. Finished fourth at Pakenham over 1400m at the opening run last time in work. A solid return is anticipated. SINGULAR (2) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when eighth over 1200m at Townsville. Should be peaking now and can find his best form this time. CATALINA DREAMING (3) ran below expectations last time at this circuit, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 4,1,2,3.
