GOING: S(5)

XXXX GOLD Colts, Geldings and Entires Class 3 Handicap 1350m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

Looks a keen contest with Zouthur and Von Bee pressing for the lead with Ambassadors and Eastown close at hand. ZOUTHUR (3) has hit the frame at his past seven outings and gets plenty of weight off with the 3kg claim. Racing in a rich vein of form of late and looks ready for the step-up in trip now. Presents plenty of value. CRESSBROOK (9) has been thereabouts in all three runs this preparation and gets the services of Jones in the stirrups. Is a winner around this circuit and will be ready to peak now fourth-up from the break. In the mix. HEREDITARY (11) resumes here but is drawn to get a gun run from the inside alley and has revved up for this with a recent trial victory. Can run a race while fresh. VICTORY COMMAND (2) has placed two from two around this circuit and strips fitter with that first-up effort now in the locker. One of the main contenders. EL PENSADOR (4) next in line from the Lipp yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zouthur each-way.
