MATTHEW ARNOLD AND RACHEL MCCROW MEMORIAL QTIS 3-Y-O BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 1400m

Track: Good 4     Rail: +2m 600m-300m; True Remainder.  

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. HALFACHANCE (1) accounted for a maiden field over 1150m at Gold Coast Poly last start, finishing 4 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Capable of making it two on the trot. FAR CRY (3) was a dominant winner last time over 1500m at Kilcoy, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts and is expected to feature again. TRUCK STOP HONEY (4) lines up on the back of a 2.25 lengths fourth over 1350m at Ipswich. Has a win and a placing at this journey from four starts and another big run is expected. MISHANI WITNESS (2) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1400m at Sunshine Coast, scoring by 0.6 lengths. Re-unites with Olivia Kendal who was on board last start. One of the likely contenders. SUGGESTED PLAY: Halfachance to win again.

Second-up raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 4 len at Gold Coast Poly Mdn-Sw November 29 over 1150m defeating Shemakesmenervous carrying 54kg at $4. Facing a 6.0kg hike in the weights from the last start but still makes plenty of appeal.
