Ladbrokes Form Genius BM58 Handicap 1005m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.73)  

Plenty of pace with Shamrock Bay and New York Star leading from Master Of Chant. ZOUPER FUND (3) is a progressive type who has come back well, winning his maiden comfortably fresh at Ballarat before a good closing second at Cranbourne in this grade last time. He's been placed well again here and with any luck from a wide draw, the well bred gelding can get the job done. NEW YORK STAR (10) was heavily backed to break her maiden at Cranbourne second up, scoring at $1.55. She's a speedy type who will be in this for a long way. NASRAAWY (1) was given a good ride by 4kg claimer Olivia East to score last time out and that weight relief will be helpful again here. AQUILION GIRL (14) may be better suited back in trip after struggling at Pakenham over 1200m. SHAMROCK BAY (13) has claims, DON'T RUSSIA (8) was luckless fresh and can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zouper Fund to win.
