Q1 Lakeside Race 4

Ladbrokes Big Bets

Prize Money: $2,400

METRICAL LEADER (3) started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (23.19) at Casino over 411m. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Top prospect. FIRE UP SHAZAM (2) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (22.18) from Box 1 at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Leading player again. FEDERAL JOEY (1) has been in super consistent form recently with four minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing fourth (20.30) at this track. Worth another chance. FLAMING INFERNO (5) looks a top-three chance while fresh.

Finished in the minors at big odds last time when third (22.47) at this track, making it two placings on end. Jumps from a wide draw. Has to do a bit more.
