GOING: S(5)

Thanks to Warwick Ice QTIS Three-Years-Old BM58 Handicap 800m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: True.  

Small field but plenty of pace engaged, including Sleepy Joe, Sweet Hesitation and Tinkerbella. SWEET HESITATION (1) wasn't disgraced in city class last time when finishing fifth at Eagle Farm. Should enjoy the significant drop in grade and is likely to play a major role. TINKERBELLA (3) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her last appearance at Rockhampton over 1050m on August 21. Sure to make her presence felt. EMBOLDEN (5) looks to launch this prep the way she ended the last four-and-a-half months ago when she scored over 800m at Kilcoy. Sure to be competitive. SLEEPY JOE (2) held on well to finish third last time out over 1400m at Gatton after leading for much of the way. Can feature in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sweet Hesitation.
