---|---|---|---|---|
Looks a solid tempo from the outset. MANHOOD (6) led and tried hard but found a couple better when fresh from a nine-week spell over this distance at Eagle Farm last start. Yet to miss the frame in four runs over today's track and trip. Ideally placed to add to his impressive record. Stablemate PLUNDERING (24) caught the eye first-up recently over 1110m at this track, knuckling down strongly over the concluding stages to miss by less than a length. Has a fine second-up record so over this longer trip he looks a proper chance. SWEET MARGOT MAY (7) is ready to peak after two runs back from a spell. SUGGESTED PLAY: Manhood on top in a very difficult race to close the program.
