GOING: S

Qls Logistics (Bm64) 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Showers Early   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.22).  

Hot Seat can cross over and lead and there’s some pressure behind. FUTURE IN DOUBT wasn’t far away this grade off the Maiden win and can salute for the Price yard off the freshen. DOCTOR'S MISTRESS has placed and won the last two in 58s with support and looks well-placed to take the next step. SISTER KITTY MAC was good FU and has plenty up the sleeve. Hot Seat should press forward with Sister Kitty Mac from wide gates, Doctor's Mistress and Equietto can be handy with De Twigstar and A Littlebitofclass. FUTURE IN DOUBT can be in the first half and she was close up at Cranbourne second-up off a solid win at the same track. Kept on the fresh side and sure to run well. DOCTOR'S MISTRESS backed up a nice fresh effort with a strong win on the synthetic where she settled further back than usual. Hard to ignore. BUNGALALLY BELLE can mix her form but she stayed on well at Swan Hill last time and has been placed here previously. Kloss and Turf Talk look good chances along with Sister Kitty Mac. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Future In Doubt with a quinellas over Doctor's Mistress and Sister Kitty Mac.
