Goulburn Race 2 - Ladbrokes Odds Surge
DESPICABLE MARGO (1) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten second (17.87) in a Grade 5 at Richmond Straight last time out. Can make amends this time. FISTS WILL FLY (6) missed the frame latest when sixth at Healesville (20.03) but scored four back at Shepparton (25.30). Won at his only start from this draw. Has the ability to give this a shake. RAPPER (3) jumps from box 3 again after finishing third (20.91) last time at Nowra over 365m. Harder here but expected to feature again. DESPICABLE CLEO (2) is worth consideration after filling a hole at big odds last start.

Ran a better race when third behind Smooch at Richmond Straight last start over 324m (18.08). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 0.8 lengths at Richmond (18.58) beating Midnight Arrow in a Maiden on September 26. Hard to envisage a win.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (20.02) over 350m at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. Looks tested in this line-up.

Ended last campaign with a sixth (18.25) in a GR 5 at Richmond Straight and returns after a four months break. Looks a leading contender and a bold showing expected.
