GOING: S(6)

Sky Racing QTIS Two-Years-Old Handicap 1100m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: True .  

Anticipating a good amount of early pressure with many of these babies facing the starter for the first time. The babies kick us off. BIG BARRY (2) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1050m at Rockhampton in a tougher race. Likely improver so a big run is anticipated. BARBARIAN KING (1) is a first-starter by Barbaric out of Aleysa's Queen. Placed in a recent trial and a bold showing is on the cards. ANDERS KISS (7) ran a better race last start at her second trip to the races, finishing third over 850m at Gladstone. Will be better for those hit-outs and is open to further improvement. COAL SEAM (3) is a first-starter by Santos out of Arrow Express. Fitter for a recent trial. Worth watching for a betting move. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Big Barry each-way with race experience on his side.
