GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Get On Extra Handicap 1800m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Zambezi Khan can slide across and take up the running in a race devoid of early pace. Tough finish. THE WESTERN FRONT (13) is a lightly raced type who was just fair fresh at Sandown Lakeside, not beaten all that far. Much better suited to this trip and does have some staying ability. Improver who can take this out. INFINITY IMPERIAL (16) should be ready to fire third up having improved nicely at Sandown Lakeside last time out. Peaks here up in trip and looks a solid each way chance at odds. FEELING DUSTY (14) is a progressive sort in fine form this time in. Notched up his second win this campaign last start and can measure up to this. GOTTABESAVVY (1) was okay fresh and will be fitter. He's much better suited rising to 1800m now and should be hard to hold out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Infinity Imperial each-way.
