GOING: S(5)

CALOUNDRA RSL / KILCOY EXCHANGE HOTEL QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 5     Rail: True.  

Good early pressure anticipated with a large number of first starters. CASTIGLIONE (9) is one who is heading the right way with his form in tougher fields, including a last start fourth at Ipswich just over 3 weeks ago. If he can hold a handy spot from his god draw then he will be hard to hold out. INQUICKTIME (2) resumes from a spell with a recent Doomben trial win under his belt. He is likely to race on the speed, which is an advantage on this track over 1200m. No shock if he puts the debut well behind him and big prices might look very generous come the end of this. SPANISH RAGE (1) is making his debut from an astute stable with a top hoop in the saddle. Let the market be your best guide. SUGGESTED PLAY: Think Inquicktime has improved enough to be a threat.

Having third race start. At long odds at debut, faded in the straight 5th of 10 at Toowoomba 2yo Mdn on July 19 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Wanted Hillbilly carrying 58kg at $31.
