GOING: S(5)

BARRIER REEF POOLS QTIS Two-Year-Old Handicap 800m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 9.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.5).  

Astin Lane, Spicy Duck and Rhumb Line will all be prominent from the get-go. Tricky. RHUMB LINE (4) is speedy and maps for the run of the race. Missed a whisker here on debut over this distance and that's the best figure presenting. Owns a dominant trial win and can return to racing even better. ASTIN LANE (6) trialled sharply before leading them up here first-up winning her Maiden over this trip. Has been kept on the fresh side and will lead or trail from the rails gate. Fitter and will be hard to peg back. SPICY DUCK (2) also runs along and resumes off a big Maiden win here. Is sure to have come on and is drawn inside. Orman is a key jockey booking suggesting the gelding is pleasing. ACCELAR (5) led and missed a nose at Eagle Farm on debut and then went back and wasn't disgraced at Listed level. Resumes owning a trial win and also has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Rhumb Line at the each-way quote.
