GOING: G(4)

RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE SOUTH EAST QUEENSLAND Maiden Plate 1800m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: +7m 1000m-W/Post; +5m Remainder. (Pent: 4.67)  

O'caldino to take up the running with Circus Maximus and Justafever close at hand. Tricky. BETTER DRAW (3) has needed the solid two runs back and will be sharper today over the longer distance. He draws inside and has more to give. Wiggins rides and respect the stable. PEAR BELLINI (9) is also in good hands and found more like her best at the Sunshine Coast. She'll finish hard at 1800m. PROVEN RECORD (10) just missed at Beaudesert on debut over 1400m. She presents fitter and gives every indication that this journey will suit. O'CALDINO (2) has the ability, but has disappointed in his last two. He's been freshened and has the tongue tie on again. No surprise to see a better effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Better Draw.
