GOING: G(4)

BILOELA PLUMBING WORKS OPEN Handicap 1400m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

A strong gallop is likely with Peshwa and Momack taking up the running, closely attended by Svindal and Legend Of Zorro. PESHWA (4) is a natural leader and was a brave runner-up at Flinton 9 days ago over 1200m. He has a good draw and will give them all something to catch again. MOMACK (1) resumed with a big effort for second at Eidsvold 9 days ago and does improve with racing. He is used to carrying big weights, and will be right in the finish again. SVINDAL (2) is another tough old stager who still has plenty of run in his legs. He has been placed in both of his starts on this course and has dropped 4.5kg from his last start. Stick with him. LEGEND OF ZORRO (5) was fifth in a decent field at Rockhampton over a mile last time out and will appreciate the drop back to 1400m. He has the pole position and won't be far away. Don't risk him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Peshwa to win.

Previously second-up won by 0.6 len at Rockhampton Bm70 April 18 2024 over 1300m on a rain affected track defeating Bungarribee Lad carrying 60.5kg at $9. Generally run well second-up and can play a role in the finish.
