GOING: G(4)

Sky Racing QTIS Three-Years-Old Maiden Handicap 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.9).  

Genuine pace headed by Sailor's Rum from his wide gate. SAILOR'S RUM (1) is unlucky to still be a maiden finishing runner-up in both outings when last in work and strikes a very winnable contest here first run in the region. Revved up for this with two strong Rockhampton trial wins and should be ready to shed the maiden tag now. FLYING MAPLE (13) just missed the placings when resuming and will strip fitter for that hit-out. Has placed over this track and trip and looms as the main danger. MOON OVER MATILDA (7) is first-up here but did show enough when last in work to warrant consideration in a race like this. Top-three contender while fresh. SILVERADO MISS (4) has been thereabouts in all three starts to date and looks one for the multiples. SHE'SGOTACCESS (9) next in line from the Birchley barn. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sailor's Rum to break through.
