GOING: G(4)

TAB Class 3 Handicap 1666m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 31)   Rail: +2m Entire.  

Power Ace and Zou Big Boy to take up the running at a strong tempo. ZOU BIG BOY (4) has been just behind the placegetters in both runs this campaign and will be ready to peak now third-up from the break. Gets the deadly Gollan/Maloney combination and can make his presence felt against this line-up. MAN OF THE TOWN (3) has won over this distance range, draws low and gets 3kg off with the claim. Ticks a few boxes for a race like this. EL PENSADOR (5) is one from one over this track and trip and strips fitter third-up. Watch for a better showing. The well-related LENAPE VIBE (1) (half to G2 winner Snitzanova) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and must be respected out of the champion Waller yard. Include in calculations. SAXON KING (2) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Zou Big Boy.

Half-brother to Group 2 winner Snitzanova. Second run back. First-up after four months sat behind the speed prior to fading second last of 8 at Gold Coast Cl4 on November 22 over 1400m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Pasima with 58kg at $12. Previously second-up 8th of 11 at Rosehill Bm78 on June 14 over 2000m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Freight Train carrying 55kg at $61. Rates highly and can do much better this time.
