GOING: S(5)

BOWEN MURAL CITY QTIS Three-Year-Old Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with several going forward. WELL HELD (3) resumed at Mackay and was narrowly beaten from the front. He will be fitter and has more to give. The Stanley-Taylor linkage is lethal. HAND GRENADE (1) brings a string of placings with the latest at this level. Gets some gear tweaks and another chance. UNDER THE SHADOW (4) gave away a start first-up but hit the line okay. She will be sharper today and the 3kg claim brings her into it. SNEAKY FREDDY (2) blitzed the Maidens at Prairie at a non-TAB. This is a step up but he can get some of the money. DIAMOND CODE (7) will carry 53kg with the claim and second-up goes into the first-fours. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Well Held.
