GOING: H(9)

TAB QTIS Two-Year-Old Handicap 1050m

Track: HVY9   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: +6.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.81)  

Expect to see the youngsters hit the ground running. CUDDLES FOR KIMMY (2) has been racing in much tougher and won't know herself back to this level. In November, she was beaten 1L in Listed grade at Doomben, and that would be winning this. She maps well, and Stanley is a key jockey booking. SARAQAEL (1) was beaten 0.7L here last time seeking to deliver four wins on the trot. He's been freshened and races forward. A decent chance to bounce. EMERALD JOY (6) just missed as favourite at Emerald, and he won't have to improve much to make the finish. TINKERBELLA (4) rode the speed, winning a Gatton Maiden comfortably. This is harder, but she can keep improving. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Cuddles For Kimmy.
