GOING: G(4)

SKY RACING QTIS Two-Year-Old Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.01).  

Acedrod and Dalt Jaz can run the small field along. OUTBACK BANDIT (2) won the Maiden well here before disappointing this grade at Townsville from a wide barrier. Draws inside today and a top hoop rides for the first time. He's hard-fit and can bounce back. ACEDROD (1) deserved the Rockhampton Maiden win but was plain there following at this level heavily bet. Peaks now and Huxtable is a positive jockey switch. Doubt there's much between him and the above. A gap then to MISHANI OPAL (6) who peaks today but she's been struggling to find her best following the yard switch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Outback Bandit.

Racing well. Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Rockhampton 2yo Hcp on June 15 over 1100m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind More Stylish carrying 59kg at $1.50. The race before that favourite; won by a head at Rockhampton 2yo Mdn May 2 over 1200m in soft going defeating Outback Bandit with 59kg at $2.40. Should be right in the finish.
