RAY WHITE IPSWICH QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 1680m

Track: SOFT5   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 5.70)  

A keen contest with Evade The Game and Mishani Reactor leading from Lune D'excellence. LADY THINKABELL (4) did a good job at the Sunshine Coast on debut after a slow start and resumed there 19 days ago and just missed - slow away again. Dolan sticks and will know her better. Fitter and the step up to the mile is certain to suit. LUNE D'EXCELLENCE (3) has been narrowly beaten twice since the shift from Newcastle. This is easier than her latest at Doomben and she can threaten with average luck from the awkward gate. TOP LEVEL (10) has pieces of form that would see her right in the finish, and she will be sharper second-up. SIX OF WANDS (5) came from the back and just missed at the Sunshine Coast. He's back on track and also has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Lady Thinkabell.
