GOING: S(7)

SKY RACING QTIS Three-Year-Old BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1800m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 11m Entire. (Pent: 5.88).  

Genuine tempo from Hiyaam Proud leading Presley. Some nice types engaged. RING ME UP (8) resumed for Waller with a big effort at Kembla Grange. She has plenty up her sleeve and arrives in Brisbane on an 18-day return. Might need one more but we are getting good odds to find out. The Matt Laurie-trained Victorian HIYAAM PROUD (4) creates plenty of interest. Presents off an easy Maiden win at Geelong on debut over 1500m and he's trialled well at Rosehill since. Ethan Brown comes to ride and can control the race. Has a nice profile. TEXAS FIREBALL (3) failed to place twice in Group races in Sydney and was given some hope last time but resented the deep track. He won here over this distance before those and that effort stacks right up. Maloney going aboard is a positive. KADAVAR (5) spiked his figures winning at Doomben three back over a middle distance building on the debut win. After two unsuccessful tries in Sydney, Waller has switched him back to Brisbane on a 13-day turnaround. Has some weight relief and Orman rides. SUGGESTED PLAY: Having something on Ring Me Up on an each-way basis.
