GOING: G(4)

VIEW HOTEL BRISBANE Maiden Handicap 1625m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: +1m Entire. (Pent: 5.95)  

In a race devoid of pace Twilight Sparkle will be prominent. Waller-trained ALL EYES ON HER (4) got a lot closer at Beaudesert over 1400m and is ready to win. She's been scratched at the barriers since, so presents today on the fresh side. The step-up to the mile suits. SAMURAI WARRIOR (1) is in the premier metro barn, and that demands respect. The former West Australian found one much too good here first-up, but covered the others. Maps well with a 3kg claimer aboard, and quick improvement is likely. As expected, stablemate SOME GIRLS (3) didn't do a lot at Eagle Farm on debut. She will show more with that run under the saddle, and has to be kept safe. FONZIE ROCKS (2) was plain last time but showed enough on debut to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: All Eyes On Her gets her chance.
