Ladbrokes Odds Surge BM62 Handicap 1415m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 33)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.88)  

Altai Ranger has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. TEST OF LOVE (2) is an interesting galloper over from Hong Kong. He's off nearly a year long spell here which is the knock having not really fired in three runs for the Lui stable. Prior to that however he'd shown some ability for the Prescott yard in the UK and his recent jumpouts for the Hayes yard have been good. Market the best guide but he could run well in what looks a winnable race. LETHAL THOUGHTS (1) is closing in on another win, trying hard at Geelong in a BM66 last time out. Back in grade again here, he maps for every hope. COULDTHISBETHEONE (4) resumes. He went to the paddock a solid maiden winner at Bendigo and is open to further improvement this time around. SUNSET BEAUTY (8) is knocking on the door with back-to-back runner-up efforts and has claims again. BLISTERING (3) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Test Of Love on top.
