GOING: G(4)

LADBROKES SAME RACE MULTI BENCHMARK 68 Handicap 1640m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: +5.5m Entire.  

Pharoah's Prophecy should find the front with Sweet Proposal and Sir Carter on his heels. The penny has dropped for PHAROAH'S PROPHECY (4) who has strung back-to-back wins together to start the campaign with Guthmann-Chester being in the saddle for both of those victories. Racing with a lot of confidence now and should be right there when the whips are cracking. SWEET PROPOSAL (7) returned in good order with a strong Sunny Coast win and should get a soft run from the inside stall. Thornton sticks and can salute again without surprising. The well-related SIR CARTER (1) (half to G2 winner Oak Door) has hit the top-five in all six runs this preparation and gets plenty of weight off with the 3kg claim. In the mix. ZAHER (5) is usually thereabouts and may trouble the judge with the right run. RASHFORD (8) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pharoah's Prophecy to bring up the hat-trick.
