GOING: S(5)

LADBROKES QUICK MULTI RATINGS BAND 0 - 65 Handicap 1350m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +6.5m Entire.  

Genuine pace with Ninjitzou taking up the running ahead of Maragical and Tam Na Ghar. Open race to close out the card. TAM NA GHAR (14) got a well-deserved Eagle Farm win at the latest effort and will have taken some confidence from that breakthrough victory. Looks the runner in this field with the most upside and expecting another forward performance. ROCK THE SUNRISE (2) has a handy record over this trip with two wins and a second from five attempts. Strips fitter second-up from the spell and is certainly worth serious consideration. NOIRE EMPEROR (5) goes well around this circuit with a win and two seconds from just four spins. Can run a race while fresh. ADDITION (7) gets the reliable Gollan/Thompson combination and draws favourably in gate two. Among the main hopes on best form. TORO STRIKE (3) next best with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Tam Na Ghar to go back-to-back.
