Sportsbet (1-6 Wins) Ht1

Prize Money: $3,940

LIGHTNING QUICK (4) looks close to win after hitting the frame last run (34.34) at Sandown in a Grade 4/5. Has first look at box 4 this time. Has never missed the frame at the trip from three starts. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Likely to feature again. ESPOIR (5) won again in another strong performance after leading them home recording back to back wins, scoring by 1.5 lengths (34.45) at Sandown over 595m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Sure to measure up. KING RON (2) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when second (38.12) at Warrnambool in a Special conditions race. Can hit the frame this time. REV GORDON (8) has been in the frame at his last two runs, most recently when third (30.40) in a Mix 6/7 FIN over 525m at this track.

He hasn't been setting the track on fire and faces tougher opposition here. Not going well enough to figure in this.

Placed last time (38.12) at Warrnambool in a Special conditions race, finishing second and beaten 6 lengths. Placed at all four starts from this draw. Looks one of the chances.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 5 length third over 595m Sandown in 34.34. Looks a strong winning hope.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 1.5 lengths at Sandown (34.45) beating Zipping Una in a R/A FIN on January 8. In top form and can make it three straight.

Good effort to win last start by 5.5 lengths over 595m at Sandown in a handy (34.49), beating Midnight Phantom. Will find this a bit tougher, others hold stronger claims.
