---|---|---|---|---|
Just an even tempo anticipated. LISTENTOZOU (3) found better when stretching out in trip second up in similar company. Finds slightly longer again here and looks close to an overdue win. Pay to follow now. THREE HUNDRED (11) has tackled tougher races than this previously and resumes off two solid trial showings. Probable leader despite a wide draw with the class to hang tough the whole way. THE GONE BANNANAS (8) was specked in betting on debut but was only sighted late when sneaking home. Slightly up in trip and drawn kindly looks open to more improvement. Well worth another look. RASP (9) failed to deliver on market confidence first up but previous form sound. With a gear change gets another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Listentozou win.
