GOING: N

THE TERRIFIC TESS Maiden Handicap 1050m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Genuine pace with Mawsons Expedition taking up the running ahead of Dominance and Literacy. DOMINANCE (4) is yet to win from 18 starts but gets another great chance here. Couldn't match the turn of foot of Bremers but still ran well for second over this course and distance last start after leading. In nine starts at this track he's finished second six times and third once. From a soft draw, expect him to be in the finish again. MAWSONS EXPEDITION (2) has been chased down in his past couple, finishing 4th and 5th respectively in maidens at Coffs Harbour. Likely to press forward again from good draw here and expect him to be in it for a long way. LITERACY (6) finished 5th of 6 over 800m at Ipswich in her first Qld appearance last start and could improve here. Was placed at Goulburn over 1000m last year and on best figures is right in this. Lightly raced VELOCE METEOR (3) was unplaced first-up at Toowoomba over 1200m but is worth another chance here with Noel Callow jumping aboard from barrier one. SUGGESTED PLAY: Happy to go with Dominance to win.
