GOING: G(4)

GOOD LUCK WITHOUT PARALLEL MAIDEN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

Moderate pace only with Soo Rad leading Symo's Boy. HOSTILE LA VISTA (6) just ran into one better when facing the starter for the first time and will have derived a stack of benefit from that race day experience. Look the one they will all have to run down. SYMO'S BOY (8) has been right there in both career outings and gets the reliable Dunn/Mallyon combination. Top-three aspirations despite the sticky draw. AERIAL ARTIST (5) is at the races for the first time but has shown a bit at the trials and is drawn ideally in gate one. Respect any market confidence. STAR CHEVAL (11) returns from a break. Progressing nicely including a recent trial win at Beaudesert. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hositle La Vista to shed the maiden tag.

First starter by Lean Mean Machine out of Couvre Lit purchased for AUD $45,000 (Magic Millions 2023 Gold Coast Yearling Sale). Half-brother to three-time winner Talakai. Dam was a winner of one race. Has a total of two trials prior to his debut today. Hasn't shown a great deal in trials leading up to this and inclined to favour others barring market move.
