GOING: S(6)

GREAT NORTHERN QTIS Two-Year-Old Handicap 1350m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +10m Entire. (Pent: 5.70)  

Without a designated pacemaker it will probably turn into a dash home. The babies kick us off. LONESOME SOUL (3) resumes here but the form she showed in her first preparation was good enough for a race like this. Goes well for hoop Baker who has a win and a second from just two steers and again gets the benefit of her 2kg claim. A strong showing while fresh would not surprise. BENEFITSOFMINE (1) just ran into one better on debut before being tipped out for further time to furnish. Has since returned with a strong Gold Coast victory and should appreciate the extra trip here. Looms as the main danger. WANNABE BRUTAL (2) shed the maiden tag last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that win. In the mix. ZOU ZOU JENNIKA (7) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 3,1,2.

Third race start. Promising on debut held ground to the line 2nd of 11 at Sunshine Coast 2yo Mdn-Sw on March 14 over 1000m, slow going 0.5 len behind Dragonne Rouge with 58kg at $1.60. Returned from break ran on from midfield and won by 1.5 len at Gold Coast 2yo Mdn-Sw July 12 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Mishani Moet with 58kg at $4.20. No reason why he cannot get the job done again.
