GOING: S(5)

Ladbrokes Form Genius QTIS Three-Years-Old Maiden Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: +4m 1000m-W/Post; +2m Remainder. (Pent: 5.66)  

Got This to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. MILK MAID (6) is unlucky to still be a maiden placing in three of four starts overall and strikes a very winnable contest here. Has been given a bit of a freshen since the last-start runner-up finish and should be right there when the whips are cracking. NORDIC INVADER (3) has been thereabouts at the past couple of efforts, draws the inside alley and gets gun hoop Maloney back on board. Ticks plenty of boxes for a race like this. SHE'S A SWEET STAR (7) has hit the frame at both career outings to date including placing over this track and trip last time out. Top-three credentials. GOT THIS (9) next best with the claim from the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,3,7,9.
