GOING: S(5)

JOIN QUIRINDI JOCKEY CLUB MAIDEN PLATE 1450m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.12)  

It's likely to be tactical given scant early speed. OAKFIELD EARTH (13) made a modest debut over 1300m at Newcastle. That effort suggested some promise and the benefit of race experience can spark sharp improvement. Easier this time and is expected to play a major role. Booking of Bullock adds confidence. SKIT 'N' SKAT (6) is a lightly-raced five-year-old. Has suffered some setbacks but can improve sharply second-up. Will pay to see what the market does with him. PATHELIA (14) has been knocking on the door and looks better suited over this sort of trip. Don't dismiss. LAGOON (12) finds the maiden win elusive but has shown glimpses of ability. Will likely drift a long way back from the draw and be saved for the final crack at them. SUGGESTED PLAY: Oakfield Earth to win.
