GOING: S(5)

LADBROKES SAME RACE MULTI Class 4 Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: +2m 1000m-W/Post; True Remainder. (Pent: 5.89)  

Genuine tempo with Admitted to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. Open race to close out the card. The well-related ADMITTED (3) (half to G3 winner Heuristic) has been plying his trade in harder south east QLD races and will appreciate the drop back in company here. Tuned up for this with a recent trial placing and gets a stack of weight relief with the 3kg claim. Rates the testing material. LOWLANDS (9) resumes here but has placed two of three when fresh and is yet to miss a place in three efforts over this track and trip. Watch for a strong showing first-up. KHUMBILA (1) has won two of his past three here and is drawn to get a cosy run in transit from the inside alley. In the mix. CIFONELLI (8) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 3,9,1,8.
