GOING: G(4)

TEMPORARY FENCE & BARRIER HIRE QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 860m

Track: GOOD 3     Rail: True.  

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a solid tempo. Tricky race to assess with many of these facing the starter for the first time. Of the raced brigade, MR PLAYTIME (1) hit the frame on debut at Ipswich and is sure to have taken a lot from that race day experience. Marshall sticks in the saddle following that first-up placing and should get a gun run in transit from gate two. Rates the testing material. WANTSOMEMOREOFIT (3) is another to trouble the judge on debut before being given time to mature. Only needs some luck from the sticky draw to be playing a role in the finish. AWESOME TESS (4) is at the races for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and any market confidence must be respected. PLEA (13) has hit the top-four at his past four outings and looks to be nearing a maiden victory. Keep safe. DUBALENE (9) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Playtime to shed the maiden tag.
