GOING: S(7)

BRC MILLINERS MARKET 11 APRIL QTIS Two-Year-Old Handicap 1300m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: +1m Entire. (Pent: 6.14)  

A solid tempo on the cards with King Tagaloa taking charge. The babies kick us off. The well-related PROFOUNDLY (2) (half to G3 winner Sebonack) wasn't too far away at Doomben on debut before a dominant win over this track and trip last time out. Winning rider Thornton stays in the stirrups and she should be going very close again. THEE CREEK (1) just ran into one better when facing the starter for the first time before just missing the placings in the QTIS Jewel at the latest effort. Not far away from shedding the maiden tag. ON POINT PIXIE (7) was a handy third on debut and will have derived some benefit from that race day experience. In the mix. ZARLA (8) is sure to be well-educated from the Heathcote barn and any market support must be respected. MEANER THAN EVIL (3) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Profoundly to go back-to-back.
