GOING: S(7)

SUNSHINE COAST FLOORING XTRA Maiden Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: +7m Entire. (Pent: 6.55)  

Fast pace assured with Be Friendly, Intruder and Zoublime leading the charge. BE FRIENDLY (1) resumes here but was right there in all three runs in his first preparation including placing over this track and trip on debut. Tuned up for this with a recent trial placing and gets plenty of weight relief with the 3kg claim. A strong showing while fresh would not surprise. Former NSW galloper THE TERMINATOR (5) is having his first run for the new stable but will find this easier than what he faced down south. Include from the inside alley. DASHING HOPE (9) has placed one from one over this course and distance and may earn some minor money. INTRUDER (7) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 1,5,9.
