Marburg Race 5 - Qsta Trotters Easter Cup - Discretionary Handicap
BENJI HALL (7) produced a better effort last start when he scored by 1.75 metres over 2138m at Albion Park. Has the talent to take this out. GETOVERROVER (6) finished fourth last start, beaten 11 metres at Albion Park over 2138m. Expect him to be prominent. MIRA SATURN (3) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 2138m at Albion Park three-and-a-half weeks ago. NATTY PAGGER (1) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 2138m at Albion Park on April 15. Each way value from the perfect inside draw.
