GOING: S(5)

KNIGHT FRANK AGRIBUSINESS QTIS Three-Year-Old Handicap 1100m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: +0.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.73)  

Power Of Katie is the probable leader in the small field. It's hard to fault the form of POWER OF KATIE (3) who has three wins and three seconds from six runs this preparation and is racing with a lot of confidence. Usual rider Satherley sticks and should be going very close again. TIPSY TIGER (4) wasn't too far off them when resuming and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Respect from the Gollan yard. BILLY BOOM (6) shed the maiden tag here last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Top-three candidate. ASTRA STAR (1) is yet to miss a drum in eight starts around this circuit and is a must for the multiples. ASK ME MATE (5) best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Power Of Katie to win.
