GOING: G(4)

RACING QUEENSLAND MAGIC MILLIONS QTIS OPEN 1300m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.88)  

Moderate tempo with Ready To Schipp leading the way. The $1.5 million QTIS Open. YELLOW BRICK (1) resumes here but had been racing in much sterner company when last in work and should find this assignment a touch easier. Tuned up for this with two strong trial wins and the booking of McDonald in the saddle is key. Goes well first-up and should run a big race while fresh. BOOMTOWN BOSS (5) has been very competitive in all three runs this campaign and will be cherry-ripe now fourth-up. Capable of testing his rivals. JOHN RAMBO (8) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and gets the reliable Gollan/Jones combination. One of the leading prospects. READY TO SCHIPP (3) has won three from four over this journey and shouldn't be underestimated. BOSSED UP (9) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,5,8,3.
