Gold Coast   05 Oct 2024
 
GOING: S(5)

Stronger First Foals Class 5 Handicap 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 2m 900m-W/Post, True Remainder. (Pent: 4.92).  

Living Free and Famous Pedrille can work to the front. MASTER SHOWMAN (1) has an awkward barrier but with average luck is a chance. Went back-to-back and he has been close-up at Doomben and Eagle Farm since. The 3kg claim brings him into it. LAST CHANCE SALOON (4) peaks for the Vandyke yard and would be right in the finish at best. He's won fourth up in the past and he looks to be trending in similar fashion this campaign. Live chance. BOW (6) has strung two good runs together recently and comes up to the Gold Coast in a suitable race. Can make his presence felt if he can run to form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Master Showman.
