Marburg Race 9

Goldbet Goldstrike Series Heat 5

Stake: $4,466

MADRIGAL (8) was struggling to make her mark before the latest appearance when she scored by 5.5 metres over 2200m at this track. Meets a similar lineup, so she is capable of getting the job done again. MONSIEUR DELACOUR (5) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 7 metres into seventh at Redcliffe over 1780m. Has the ability to take this out. BETTING ORIGIN (6) is better than his last-start ninth over 2138m at Albion Park. Each way value. KING OF TRUMPS NZ (7) has been thereabouts lately and is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 2138m at Albion Park last time out. Something for the Multiples: MADRIGAL NZ (8)

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 7th (Fr6) over 1780m at Redcliffe, beaten 7 m by Hold Onto Ya Bling (2:10.60) in NR 51 to 55 on April 3 at $3.60. The run before was well back in the run when 10th (Fr5) over 2138m at Albion Park beaten 25 m by Collect A Dime (2:32.40) in B 5 No NR on March 29 at $61. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.
