GOING: S(7)

MIDWAY HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.76).  

The speedy duo Treize and Danish Prince can set the pace from the outset. ALABAMA STATE (18) lightly raced colt with a ton of upside. Snagged back from the wide gate before warming up late when a narrow fourth over 1200m at this track on September 14. Maps to get the gun run and no excuses with Craig Williams aboard. THE EXTREME CAT (4) returns from a 42-day let-up after motoring late when fourth over 1500m here on August 17. Back in trip and will get the right tempo to figure prominently. UNIQUE AMBITION (12) resumes having last raced in the Queensland Oaks but has yet to miss a place when fresh including a win so expect a good return. TREIZE (11) improved to place second-up and could progress further. SUGGESTED PLAY: Alabama State to win.
