GOING: G(4)

$5M KIA QUOKKA 26TH APRIL 2025 MAIDEN 1000m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: +16m Entire Cutaway Applies.  

Anticipating good pressure with many of these facing the starter for the first time. ELITE BEAU (5) is on debut for Team Williams with Pike in the saddle after a handy trial win at his only public outing. He's a half-brother to a Listed winner and he showed plenty of ability at his only trial. The Karrakatta Plate is just around the corner, and he can stake his claim for WA's 2YO feature. PYGMALION (2) just missed on debut when running on from the back of the pack at this track and trip. He'll be better for that effort and the bigger field this time may suit. Can improve with the run under his belt and make his presence felt again. XENTARO (7) has shown promising signs at the trials coming into this,s and the time on the day most recently stacked up. Chris Parnham sticks from the trials, and he can play a leading role. SOLAR CHANT (9) has only been sighted once coming into this but she showed very good signs. Wide draw is a niggle but she can feature. SHE'S DA VAL (8) hit the line nicely in her only outing and won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Elite Beau can score on debut.
