GOING: H(10)

PFD FOODSERVICES GOLD COAST CUP 2400m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: True. (Pent: 7.48).  

Solid pace from Rattle And Hum booting up inside Rhodes. BOIS D'ARGENT (1) has been plying his trade at Group and Listed level of late and should appreciate the drop back in grade here. Has placed over this course and distance and will be near his peak now fourth-up from the break. Looks very well placed by the Neasham camp. BONNY EZRA (5) has just missed the placings recently and will be rock-hard fit for this. Top-three credentials on best form. RED WAVE (8) rarely runs a bad race and is a must for the multiples. RATTLE AND HUM (7) next cab off the rank from the inside alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bois D'argent to salute.
