GOING: G(4)

Yumbah Mussel Holdings Benchmark 72 Handicap 1000m Track: Good 4 Clouds (Max: 16)
Plenty of early pressure with Sunzou, Royal Tyke and Chosen Blonde leading the charge. SUNZOU (3) has given backers a bold sight in his two runs back, only to be bettered by two smart ones. Peaking now and is drawn to advantage. Only needs to hold his form to prove too tough to catch for his rivals. THE HASS (5) returned with a bang in town but hasn't been able to go on with it yet. Has been freshened with a 50-day break, keeping the legs ticking over with a trial here. Back in trip and 3kg claimer going on gets in him in light at the weights. Can bounce back sharply. KAIDO (9) made a mess of his rivals first-up and then went close to making it two on the bounce. Not as effective last start but can get things back on track with winning hoop reuniting. SHUTTLE RUN (10) returns off a long break in a stable debut for Jackie Stoetzer. Trial in suggests he can play a role but treading cautiously. Will pay to watch what the late money thinks. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sunzou to win.
