GOING: S

Ladbrokes Odds Surge BM58 Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.78).  

Pressure on from word go with Scorsese, First Point and Smuggler's Bay handlebars down ahead of Savee. SCORSESE (2) is going well, placing last start in a Class 1 at Pakenham. No knock on his form, he'll take beating again. SMUGGLER'S BAY (1) claims 3kg off the big weight and is in good form without winning, placing at his past three. Drops in grade again for this and has the speed to be competitive. MYSTERY BLONDE (5) resumed with a tidy maiden win at this track and distance. Might be able to go on with it now. SAVEE (8) resumes and her form last time in reads quite well for this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Scorsese on top.
