Goulburn Race 6

Ladbrokes Odds Surge

Stake: $3,421

COMBATANT (1) goes very well at the distance with four wins and a placing from seven starts. Scored by 3 lengths last time (24.83) in a Grade 4/5 over 440m at this track. Looks a leading chance on best. LUCKY WINNER (2) failed to come into contention last start after settling off pace at Wentworth Park, but prior to that won by 1.75 lengths at this track (19.84) beating Reece Unleashed in a NG on March 24. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. FERNANDO VELLA (8) ran below his best last time finishing fourth (25.31) over 440m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Form at the trip excellent including five wins. The form from his last run stacks up well. Can figure in the finish. MAGIC LINKIN (5) is a last-start placegetter who is in the mix again.

Good effort to win last start by 4.5 lengths over 440m at this track in a handy (24.77), beating Wild Angela. Will find this a bit tougher, needs to find a bit more.

Finished second last start (25.05) at big odds over 440m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome. Will need plenty of luck.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd on April 8 over 340m at Bulli behind Waltzin' Ethics beaten 2.25 lengths (19.57) in a Grade 5. In the minors two starts back. Winning chance on best form.
