GOING: S(6)

Pircsa Colts, Geldings and Entires Class 1 Handicap 1350m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +10.5m Entire. (Pent: 6.13)  

Some speedy types are engaged and the large field will run along. Waller-trained LISTENTOZOU (5) switched from the Sydney barn and was backed off the map belting the Eagle Farm Maidens by 3.5L. He races forward and that suits around here. Orman is a key jockey switch for the 3kg apprentice and the gelding rates to take the next step. Gollan-trained SUNLORD (3) switched from a Sydney stable and resumed in solid order. He was expected to win at Eagle Farm following, but things didn't work out. Loses Orman but Maloney is a like-for-like replacement. Strips fitter and is certainly good enough. Stablemate ACAPPELLA NOVA (10) led and spaced the Eagle Farm Maidens over 1200m having just his second start. Has an inside gate and is sure to keep improving. The in-form Jones stays aboard and he's sure to give a big sight. THE PLAYER (6) peaks and is busting to win. Has a sticky gate but will hit the line. ICHIBAN (1) resumes for Waller and will race over further. Worth a look. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Listentozou.
