GOING:

LADBROKES TOP 2/3/4 BETTING PACE 2040m

Track: GOOD      

MIKIS JOE (6) won at this track two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 2280m here, beaten 5.5 metres. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. SARGEANT (3) was in the money at Albion Park two runs ago before finishing second at his latest appearance over 2138m there, beaten a head. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run and is good enough to win a race of this calibre. THERESACHANCE (1) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1780m at this circuit a week ago. Has to be included from the coveted pegs draw. ALWAYS LOCKSLEY (9) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at Albion Park over 1660m.

Last start was well back in the run when 12th (Fr5) over 2138m after racing wide at Albion Park beaten 19 m by Resilient (2:36.20) in No NR on December 13 at $61. Two runs back 2nd (Sr1) over 2280m at this track beaten 2 m by Real Tin Tin (2:48.10) in NR 45 to 55 on December 10 at $14. This looks a far sterner task.
