SANDOWN-HILLSIDE   19 Jun 2024
 
GOING: S

Sportsbet Same Race Multi Handicap 1300m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 8m Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo with Superset leading the way. RHAPSODY CHIC (12) is a progressive gelding who has never missed a place from six starts, notching up his second win last start at Seymour when fresh from a two month spell. Fitter for that and gets Blake Shinn on from the inside draw. HOLA AMIGOS (18) is a lightly raced type coming off a smart win at Pakenham. More depth here but he's got some upside and can run well. GLITZING (7) was just fair first up at Sandown Lakeside when in the market and could improve sharply. TREASURWAY (15) should be running on strongly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Rhapsody Chic.
