GREAT NORTHERN CAPRICORNIA YEARLING SALE QTIS 3&4YO CLASSIC Handicap 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: Out 6m Entire. (Pent: 5.75).  

Expecting Track Tale to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. RINGER'S REWARD (3) has been racing solidly in stronger grade and two back placed at Doomben over this distance. She will likely give away a start but rates well and will go close with average luck. THE HAIRDRESSER (10) delivered a Maiden here on resumption ridden more conservatively. She's showing plenty of promise and maps for a soft run from an inside battier. This is harder but she has weight relief and it's hard to risk the potent Stanley-Taylor linkage. JUST SUPER (1) went back-to-back with a spacious win here in Open grade and resumes owning a sharp trial. Has to push forward from a wide barrier but 2x winning rider Wiggins is reunited and can manage. He's won 2/3 second up. UNDER THE CAP (2) will peak over a mile but is up to this if presented forward. Brings two solid trials and should find a cosy spot in the run. Collis rides and is building a handy record with the stable. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Ringer's Reward.
