Ladbrokes Odds Surge Masters

Prize Money: $2,335

FLORIDA LINE (1) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 2.75 lengths into third (18.52) at this track in a Grade 5 over 320m. Leading chance again. APPIN WAY (8) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 1.75 lengths (18.74) behind Sassy Crossed at this track. Bold showing expected. MIDNIGHT STAR (5) caught the eye when posting a strong 19.21 over 340m at Bulli three back then has hit the frame in both runs since. Expected to feature on best figures. BLITZ (2) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 320m at this track. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.
