GOING: G(4)

TAB QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Plate 1680m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: +4m Entire.  

Insufficient early speed to generate more than a muddling tempo. BRITISH GEM (9) has been right there in all three outings this preparation and looks to be knocking on the door of a maiden victory. Will be ready to peak now fourth run back and maps ideally for this from gate two. Rates the testing material. NOTTINGTON PRINCE (5) didn't measure up in tougher grade last time out but the form prior was good enough for a race of this calibre. Has placed two from three around this circuit and looms as the main danger. UNIQUELY FAMOUS (8) has been thereabouts in both starts to date and gets the reliable Waller/Maloney combination. Top-three prospects. ARTISTIC ENDEAVOUR (1) strips fitter third-up from the spell and may earn some minor money. MY CHARM (10) rounds out the selections in a race with a long tail. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 9,5,8,1.
