GOING: S(5)

GIBSON ARCHITECTS QTIS Two-Year-Old Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.70)  

Good speed anticipated with a large contingent of first starters lining up. Tricky race to assess with most of these facing the starter for the first time. YUNA IS PIERATA (3) has looked good winning both trials, draws the inside alley and gets some weight relief with the claim. Hails from an astute yard and ticks plenty of boxes. HANNABANA (6) showed ability winning a recent trial and only needs some luck from the wide draw to play a role in the outcome. LUKEY BLUE (8) is another at the races for the first time and a watch on betting is advised. UNDER ARREST (2) next in line from the Bruce barn. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yuna Is Pierata to kick off the career with a victory.
