SANDOWN-HILLSIDE   03 Jul 2024
 
GOING: S

Stow Storage Solutions Handicap 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 12m Entire Circuit.  

Good early pace from Baroque Road and Regal Zeus going forward to hold out some other speedy customers. HE'S BESET (7) looks nicely placed. He's never missed a place in four Australian runs, winning at Caulfield first-up before a solid placing at Sandown-Lakeside, beaten under a length. He maps for a soft run from the gate and should be very hard to hold out. ROGUE ROCKER (5) ran well first-up at Caulfield over 1200m, hitting the line nicely to be beaten 3.5 lengths. His form last time in reads well and the extra trip suits. BAROQUE ROAD (3) has had two runs back from a spell and will find this easier than last start in Sydney. Can roll forward and take beating. AWAPUNI PRINCESS (12) will be running on strongly. SUGGESTED PLAY: He's Beset to win.
