GOING: S(7)

GREAT NORTHERN QTIS Two-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 1200m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 4m Entire. (Pent: 5.9).  

Without a noted leader engaged Best Coffee may cross from wide out and take it up. SIBELIUS (2) is unlucky to still be a maiden finishing runner-up in both runs this campaign over this trip and strips fitter third-up from the spell. Capable of troubling the judge. ENTERPRISE DEFENCE (1) has placed two of three over this distance range and gets some weight relief with the claim. In the mix. OCEAN PROUD (10) wasn't disgraced when facing the starter for the first time at Newcastle and must be respected from the Maher camp. Worth following up. MISHANI HERCULES (8) has hit the top-five in five of six starts to date and looks one for the exotics players. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sibelius to win.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, ran last of 12 at Doomben 2yo Mdn-Sw on June 12 over 1200m, 6 len behind The Hamo with 58kg at $81. Cannot enthuse after that sub-standard performance.

Third-up. Resuming eased back early on 3rd in a small field at Gold Coast Poly 2yo Mdn on June 8 over 1050m, 1.75 len behind Genius Baby with 59kg at $3.50. Second run from a spell second last of 7 at Gold Coast Poly 2yo Mdn-Sw on June 22 over 1050m, 7 len behind Sujeed carrying 58kg at $19. Can improve. Top chance if at his best.
