GOING: G(4)

Tony Noonan Syndicate Group Handicap 1000m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Cracking tempo looks assured with many of these capable of pushing on early. SIOUX SPIRIT (5) resumes from a break on home track and looks ideally placed. Suited this grade and when last resuming did place here. Has the claim, a decent draw and best form has been fresh. Presents on the back of two hit-outs and looks primed to run well. LINKVUE (2) broke his maiden last start over 1100m at Geelong, scoring by a neck. Rhys McLeod was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Nicely placed to double the win tally. PANIGALE (3) has been freshened up since finishing seventh over 1200m at Pakenham. Kept up to the mark with a recent Cranbourne trial placing. Claim helps and this much easier than recent runs. One of the contenders. TORLAAH (1) resumed from a long break with a fourth in richer company and strips fitter. Will get back but hit the line hard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Like Sioux Spirit at home.

Useful gelding. At the latest run won by a neck at Geelong Mdn-Sw April 11 over 1100m defeating Controlled Zone carrying 59kg at $3.90. The run before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 9 at Yarra Valley Mdn-Sw on March 31 over 1209m, on a slow track; long-neck behind Thats Archies Girl with 59kg at $6. Racing well and will give a great sight again.
