GOING: S(5)

Ladbrokes Yard Comments QTIS Three-Years-Old Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: Out 0.5m 1000m-W/Post; Out 1.5m Remainder. (Pent: 5.4).  

Genuine tempo. TRACK TALE (1) is getting close to another win after finishing runner-up at Rockhampton last time out in a 100K contest. She will be peaking her fitness third up and is reunited with Ryan Wiggins who has been aboard for 3 of her 5 career wins. The blinkers are on for the first time and she will be very hard to hold out. CRAICARO (7) has been hitting the line strongly in her last couple of starts over 1000 metres on this track, the most recent of those just a week ago when finishing third. The extra furlong is ideal and from a handy gate, she is the main danger to the top pick. CATALINA DREAMING (9) has come home with a rush in her last 2 starts after posting an all-the-way win fresh up. She has options from her good draw and must be respected. Each-way. BEAU RAIN (2) closed off nicely when beaten 1.1 lengths last time here. Can contest for a place. SUGGESTED PLAY: Track Tale to win.
