GOING: S(5)

PIERCE AVENUE LODGE PTY LTD Maiden Handicap 1800m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 7m 400m-W/Post; Out 9m Remainder. (Pent: 6.61).  

Despite the wide draw How Ya Been Anyway has the dash to cross and lead a low-pressure contest. APFEL (10) wasn't too far away in town last time out and will find this task much more to her liking. Should be ready to peak. The well-related IL TORO D'ORO (3) (half to stallion Delago Deluxe) has placed over this track and trip and strips fitter third-up from the spell. Among the leading hopes. HOW YA BEEN ANYWAY (4) has hit the top-five at his past eight starts and cannot be discounted. PUNJABI LANDING (5) gets blinkers on first time and should be nearing his peak now. Can play a major role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Apfel gets the nod.
