Gold Coast   25 Feb 2017
 
GOING: G(4)

Qcea Hcp (C3) 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Showers Early   Rail: Out 6m 1400m-400m; Out 3m the Remainder. (Pent: 4.5).  

Hidden Road will push forward again to lead. MISHANI SLEUTH can use the rail and comes back off stronger city races. Two back missed a lip at Doomben and can be winning this back in trip and with Griffin replacing the apprentice. WE BUILT THIS CITY ran favourite in an Eagle Farm 75 the latest and was vetted. Had missed a nose here prior and expect a bold run off a better gate and with the claim. PERFORATION can lead off the 3 gate and did that winning this grade the latest. Has genuine winning claims off that. KAPHNI for the multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mishani Sleuth straight out.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming hung out during race and inquiry into performance; failed to make an impression; ran last at this track E&G Hcp (C3) Jan 25 over 1200m, 8-1/4 len behind Mystical Renegade carrying 54kg. Second run from a spell led to the turn and faded badly 12th of 13 runners at Dalby (Bm55) Feb 4 over 1400m, 6-3/4 len behind Zapata Falls with 59kg. Likely to find them too speedy today.
