GOING: S(7)

SOUTHS SPORTS CLUB Class 1 Plate 1200m

Track: SOFT6   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +0.5m Entire. (Pent: 6.22)  

Plenty of speed from Woosh Ka Boom and Lantau Island. WOOSH KA BOOM (15) just ran into one better at Ipswich on debut before getting the job done over this six-furlong journey at Eagle Farm at the latest effort. Winning hoop Maloney sticks in the stirrups and should be going very close again. CHO OYU (2) hasn't done much wrong with a win and a second from both outings to date and should get a gun run in transit from the inside alley. Top-three conveyance. Former Waterhouse/Bott KEENAN (4) galloper is having his first run for the new stable but will find this easier than what he faced down south and a strong fresh performance would not surprise. LANTAU ISLAND (5) next in line with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Woosh Ka Boom to go back-to-back.
