SAL, LIGHTING A SMARTER FUTURE MAIDEN HANDICAP 900m

Track: HVY10   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: True 400m-W/Post. Out 2m Remainder.  

Only a moderate early tempo anticipated with no noted leaders engaged. ARE EE QUE (3) showed enough in his debut campaign to improve sharply resuming. Close up in most recent trial and finds some nice weight relief. Expected to figure. CAPITAL DANCER (4) was runner-up at this track and trip prior to a spell. Found good air in a recent trial win and has the speed to race handy from the outset. Right in this first up. QARAAR (8) is a Tassort filly stepping out for the smart Ciaron Maher stable. Has shown positive signs in in her lead-up work and is more than capable of making the immediate impact. OCTAVIAN TREASURE (2) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Are Ee Que.
