GOING: G

$500k Tab A.D. Hollindale-Bm65 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Isolated Thunderstorms   Rail: Out 7m 1400-W/Post; Out 3m Remainder. (Pent: 4.49).  

Elixer and Adoradiva may be the ones to make the pace. ELIXIR races at peak and is ready to win. Placed LS in stronger at Eagle Farm and Lloyd sticks and will use the low draw. BOLD WARRIOR gets the rail and will push forward. Was good LS at Doomben in stronger and is a chance back in trip with the claim. SURFACE TO SURFACE made the quinella following the Maiden win and he will be in the finish with a repeat of that. MISS AMUR was heavily backed winning the Maiden at Mackay heavily backed and can’t be dismissed drawing low. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Elixer.
