GOING: H(9)

SEVEN NEWS QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 1690m

Track: HEAVY 9   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: Out 6m Entire. (Pent: 5.9).  

Moderate tempo. RASHFORD (2) peaks and has been narrowly beaten all three starts this preparation in better Maidens. There was a lip in it the latest at the Sunshine Coast heavily bet and he maps for the run of the race. He can go one better. BORN FEARLESS (1) is third up and will be much sharper over the mile. Four back he was heavily bet and narrowly beaten at Eagle Farm over the trip and that reads well. Quick improvement is anticipated. CRYPTIC SOUND (4) is also third-up and improved at Doomben against the above. She's on a quick backup and will appreciate the longer journey. The risk with her is getting bottled up from the rails draw. MERCHANT FLYER (3) can improve and Orman is a key jockey booking. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Rashford.
