GOING: S

PFD Food Services Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: +8m 1000m to WP, + 5m remainder. Sectional 610m.  

Loads of pressure, primarily from Been Our Angel, Martial Music and Bristler. GRAND HOST (6) has returned in top order, going one better second-up when rattling home late to get the verdict. Open to further improvement third-up, no reason he can't bring up the hat-trick. BEEN OUR ANGEL (4) was reeled in late by Grand Host last start but now meets him 2kgs better. Ticking along nicely and is a great chance to reverse the result. MARTIAL MUSIC (1) resumes and is a noted fresh performer. Gets help at the weights with a smart claimer in TJ engaged. The stable change adds intrigue. Can return with a bang over a favoured journey. HYPERNOVA (9) was solid late when resuming and will only improve with that run under the belt. Among the chances in an open affair. SUZIDO (3) has been freshened and droops sharply in grade. Don't overlook. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Grand Host.
