GOING: H

Village Roadshow Theme Pks Hcp 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 4m 950m-400m; Out 2m Remainder. (Pent: 5.12).  

Expecting Parko to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. PARKO (2) is a leader who last start blitzed the Open graders on the poly track by nearly 5L. Uses the rail and is a live chance bringing that form to the grass. GOGOL (1) wasn't beaten far at Doomben running his best figure. Was good in the Listed Ramornie three-back and can't be ruled out. ABDICATING (8) has a good record at this distance, course and second-up. Drawn ideally and can make his presence felt. LOVE STRUCK (4) was placed in soft going at this course last time out and won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Parko in a good contest.
