GOING: S(5)

TEDDY BEARS PICNIC 2 AUGUST QTIS Two-Year-Old Handicap (Weights Raised 1.5) 1110m

Track: HVY9   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.93)  

Fast pace assured with Sweet Hesitation, Ode To Beauty and Issy's Star leading the charge. The babies kick us off. BOOMSHANKA (7) resumes here but the form she displayed in her first preparation puts her in good stead for this. Finished second around this circuit on debut before not being too far away in the rich QTIS Jewel. Tuned up for this with a recent trial victory and can shed the maiden tag against this lot. DRAGON LINK (6) is facing the starter for the first time but was a dominant Gold Coast trial winner and is sure to be well-educated from the Hoysted yard. Respect any market confidence. ISSY'S STAR (8) has been right there in all three outings to date and will be at peak fitness for this. Top-three credentials. SWEET HESITATION (9) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boomshanka to return a winner.
