GOING: S(5)

Hygain Tracktorque Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.30)  

Suits and Remember Poppy can be prominent. YAMASHITA'S GOLD (11) won't get many better chances than this. An excellent debut to top two-year-old Shining Smile saw him start $17 in a Group 2 next time out. Two runs back this campaign have been fair, but again he was only 1.3 lengths off Shining Smile at Flemington last start which is a lot stronger than this race. RED FALCON (10) is coming along nicely with two starts to date, solid at Geelong over 1150m last time. Fancy back to 1000m here will suit and blinkers go on. ENUFF BRICKS (1) resumes. He ran third when fresh last time in albeit beaten a fair way. He can run into the minor money. UNSNOOZUAL (3) is an entire by Shamus Award on debut for the Laurie yard. Must respect top connections. EVIL LOVER (4) has been okay in two runs back and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yamashita's Gold to win.
