GOING: S(7)

GATA Plastering QTIS Three-Years-Old Handicap 950m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: Out 1.5m 1000m-930m; True Remainder.  

Solid tempo with Nazorian leading from Assymetry and He's All Power. CATALINA DREAMING (3) won fresh up in her first start in the area at Townsville and then was close up next time out at the same venue, finishing second as favourite. She can settle a touch nearer the pace this time from a better gate and can make an immediate return to the winners' circle. NAZORIAN (1) was fifth in the same race as the top pick but is better than that and he may have been a run short as it was his first run in nearly a month. He is expected to be hard to beat this time. Stick with him. HE'S ALL POWER (2) resumed with a seventh in the same race as the top 2 picks and will strip much fitter second up. A wet track is no problem and he is worth another chance on an each-way basis. KING CANUTE (7) will be peaking third up and could add some spice to any multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Catalina Dreaming to win.

Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.
