GOING: S(5)

HUON CAVIAR QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +5m 1000m-W/Post, +4m Remainder. (Pent: 4.84)  

Dubawi's Girl is expected to burn across and lead from the wide alley. ELROND (2) has been knocking on the door of a maiden victory, placing in both starts to date and strikes a very winnable contest here. Fenlon has been in the irons for both outings and sticks. Can shed the maiden tag here. HE'SGOTTHESAY (4) went down by a narrow margin last time out and drops back slightly in trip here. Should be hitting the line with gusto. TARAVIA (6) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and any market support must be noted. FIRST MAN (3) has hit the top-five in all four career efforts to date and may run a race while fresh. MISS HIGHFALUTIN (11) next in line from the Gollan yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Elrond each-way.
