GOING: G(4)

TABTOUCH MAIDEN 1113m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

A solid tempo anticipated with Queen Of Hawks and Big Bopper engaging in an early battle ahead of Schnoots. QUEEN OF HAWKS (10) was only collared late when leading up the field over 1000m in Open company 12 days ago, beaten 1.8L. This is a much easier race, she remains on the minimum weight and she draws inside. The form out of her last start has already been franked. She's the one to beat. A LOT OF CLASS (4) comes back from midweek company at the end of last campaign, following a good effort at this track and trip. He'll get back from the wide alley, but he has plenty of upside and it wouldn't surprise to see him storm over the top. WOTUGOT (9) was tested in strong 2YO races in her debut prep, contesting the Magic Millions 2YO at her final start. She'll be fitter for two trials coming in and she can put her best foot forward with no weight on her back. HILLSIDE HORACE (1) disappointed at the last run of his campaign, but was knocking on the door prior to that. Can return with a bang. BLACK SANDS (2) has claims from a nice barrier first-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Queen Of Hawks.
