GOING: S(7)

QUEENSLAND TOWER CRANE HIRE Class 2 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 7   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 8m Entire. (Pent: 7.11).  

From wide out Shamuka can slide across and take up the running in a race devoid of genuine early pace. LOOSE UNIT (2) doesn't win out of turn but is usually thereabouts and saves his best form for his home circuit here. Maloney sticks and should be in this for a long way. AROUND THE BUOY (3) hasn't been far from the placings so far this campaign and strips fitter third-up so is one for the multiples. ROCKED (8) is the best of the rest with Byrne in the saddle. OLD SONG (7) is a previous fresh winner readied for the return with a trial. Blinkers are on first time. Must be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Loose Unit to break through.
