Ladbrokes Racing Extras In Multi 0-2 Win

Prize Money: $3,235

LOVE BY DESIGN (2) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at Q Parklands but was a Mix winner two back at this track. With a good start should be able to take advantage of the low draw. Key player on best and worth another chance. NANGAR COUNTY (3) is rarely far away but tends to find one better, placing nine from 16 starts. Finished second (20.30) at this track last time making it three minors on end. Speedy beginner who should be prominent early on from an inside box. Winning chance. RUBY SHELBY (6) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 5.5 lengths into third (20.31) at this track in a Mix over 350m. Hard to beat again. ANNDAR SPIRIT (1) can find the frame without surprising.

Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Good starter. Last start finished 2nd over 350m at this track beaten 5.5 lengths (20.30) behind Moment Of Truth in a Mix on September 11. Overdue for a win and gets his chance this time.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a seventh over 350m at this track. Looks up against it this time.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (25.86) over 450m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw and looks a each way chance only this field.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 450m at this track. This looks too tough.
