GOING: G(4)

Hot Fm Hcp (C3) 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: 4m Entire Course. (Pent: 4.21).  

Drinking Cocktails looks a rather obvious leader from barrier 1. HABSBURG hit the ground running in his stable debut, saluting over 950m at Moree. The gelding should have taken benefit from the outing and can continue on with his winning ways here. LILLY RUSH is another first up winner looking to build upon the effort here. The mare is showing plenty of promise and certainly appeals. Could be a good betting contest here. TRUMP IT came from last to win at the Gold Coast. While he jumps in grade for this, he'd been taking on stronger. These sprint races are more his true go. HABSBURG caused a bit of a surprise in winning first up. He will also get back and hit the line. This distance suits even more. LILLY RUSH got the job done at Dalby. She's had a month between runs but that could well suit her style. VINNIE LOVES ME ran a very good race resuming. Her best runs have come over this distance. She goes better after a run too. SUGGESTED PLAY: Habsburg looked good on resuming. Stick with him straight out.
