GOING: S(6)

TAB QTIS Three-Years-Old Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: +7m Entire. (Pent: 6.01)  

Without a great deal of early pace evident Sunshinyday may lead the way over Time To Prophet. The three-year-olds kick us off. ASK ME MATE (1) loves it here on his home circuit with four wins and three placings from ten spins and will be rock-hard fit for this. Racing with a lot of confidence this campaign and looks the one they all have to run down. BETTER THAN WORDS (2) resumes here but has revved up for this with a recent trial and is yet to miss a drum in three first-up attempts. Looms as the main danger while fresh. The penny has dropped for HORRIBLE HANK (6) who has put back-to-back wins together and winning hoop Richardson reunites. Top-three aspirations. AMBERINGER (5) will be near her peak now fourth-up from the break and looks one for the multiples. TIME TO PROPHET (4) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Ask Me Mate.
