The Tony Gollan trained Zoustyle is the winner of all of his five race starts and was the short priced favourite to keep his winning form intact before his withdrawal.

Zoustyle was notified as a late scratching shortly after Gollan saddled up Coldstone to win the the sixth race on the nine race A.D. Hollindale Stakes program, the Listed $125,000 Australian Turf Club Trophy (1400m).

The Chris Munce trained Boomsara is now the $1.95 favourite in the new reshaped market order at Ladbrokes.com.au.

Gollan also scratched his smart filly Outback Barbie from the Listed $150,000 Silk Stocking (1200m) because of the heavy track conditions.
