GOING: S(5)

BOB SYMONS QTIS Two-Year-Old Handicap 1100m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.40)  

Expecting Alberta Bound to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. The babies kick us off where it looks a race in two. ALBERTA BOUND (1) just missed last time when a neck away in second at this track over 1200m. Will be rock-hard fit for this and Wiggins sticks in then irons following that last-start placing. Rates the testing material against this line-up. COAL SEAM (2) is a progressive two-year-old gelding who hasn't raced since finishing third over 1200m at Rockhampton on April 12. Sharpened for this with a recent trial win and is sure to be very competitive while fresh. REVES TIME (7) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and any market support must be noted. ANDERS KISS (5) next in line from the inside marble. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Alberta Bound.

Most recently rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd in a small field at this track 2yo Hcp on June 23 over 1200m, slow going neck behind Better Blitzem with 58.5kg at $5. The run before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 4th of 14 at Townsville 2yo SW on June 6 over 1200m, 5 len behind The Barber with 55kg at $9. Rates highly and is a leading contender.

When resuming last campaign second of 8 at Rockhampton 2yo Hcp March 24 over 1100m, soft track; a head behind Missile Baby with 59kg at $11. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win.

Most recently 11th of 14 at Townsville 2yo SW on June 6 over 1200m, 8 len behind The Barber with 57kg at $151. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at Townsville 2yo Hcp May 25 over 1200m defeating Carlando with 55kg at $13. Useful type and can atone.

First start. By first season sire Encryption out of Diamond On Command. Half-brother to four-time winner Diamond Money. Dam was a winner of two races. Was third in a Rockhampton barrier trial over 1000m on June 22. Worth consideration.

Before that 7th of 10 at Townsville 2yo Mdn on June 16 over 1000m, 7 len behind Vierata carrying 54kg at $61. Can't see her breaking through for the maiden win this time.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, 7th of 9 at Rockhampton 2yo Mdn on June 19 over 1100m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Peter Profit carrying 56.5kg at $71. Will have taken a lot from that first-up effort.
