GOING: G(4)

RED STEER HOTEL QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Plate 1075m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: True.  

Expecting Awesome Tess to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. The maidens kick us off. Former Victorian GALATH (1) is having his first run for the new stable but should find this assignment a stack easier than what he faced down south. Gets 2kg weight relief with the claim and any market support must be met with the utmost of respect. SPIRIT SEEKER (7) has hit the top-five in all four starts this preparation and looks to be knocking on the door of a maiden victory. Another to get some weight off and looms as the main danger. DIAMOND CODE (5) has placed one from one over this distance range and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Top-three candidate. HORRIBLE HANK (2) resumes here but has shown some ability in previous campaigns and may run a race while fresh. AWESOME TESS (4) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,7,5,2.

Gelding by Encryption facing the starter for the first time. Half-brother to winner Storm Dreamer. Dam was unraced. Trialled on March 20 at Beaudesert over 1050m and finished eighth. Hasn't shown a great deal in trials leading up to this and inclined to invest in others barring market move.
