GOING: G(4)

XXXX Maiden Handicap 1350m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 11m Entire. (Pent: 5.82).  

Pace sure to be genuine from Poutchek and Binghamton matching motors, closely followed by Express Payment. Gollan-trained STRAPPEROO (6) resumed with a near miss at Gatton first-up and then didn't manage the wide gate here following when placing distantly. Has a better draw today and strips fitter. He should go close. BINGHAMTON (2) is a former Sydney galloper who was much better here second-up for the new yard. He has plenty up his sleeve and will use the handy barrier. Will get every chance. NATIONAL INTEREST (11) resumed in solid order and then came hard when narrowly beaten at the Sunshine Coast. Four winners have come out of that. He will give away a start but will be better for the outing and can make the finish with average luck. MYSTIC MAC (7) is on the improve and has a handy 3kg claim. Maps for the run of the race and is also a hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Strapperoo appeals most.
