GOING: G

RFDS QTIS Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Genuine pace with Naoro finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. MIDORI FOREST (4) has been solid in both his outings from a break. He probably heads onto the pace and tries to hang on. He has been supported a few times so there is some expectation of ability. IMMINENT BOOM (3) has raced in stronger races and been OK. He too could be up with the leaders. Will likely have some supporters. DAWN EMBERS (1) is pretty consistent previously on turf. However he is never far away and has quite a few gear changes. NAORO (9) resumes off some placings. Does get a soft run all the way. DAY TO REMEMBER (2) could improve sharply. May be getting the last look at them today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tough race but Midori Forest is the play.
