Toowoomba   17 May 2025
 
GOING: H(8)

MORT & CO Maiden Plate 870m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.40)  

Strong tempo with Hasana likely to hold the lead from the rails draw, joined by Lulu A Natural. HASANA (7) gave a great sight in front over 800m at Ipswich when making his debut there just over 3 weeks ago and was only run down over the concluding stages, finishing second by a short-head. She has been back to the trials since then, and with the advantage of the pole position, she can get the job done this time. RED TOFFEE (1) finished third fresh up in the same race as the top pick and will only continue to improve as his fitness levels increase. Hard to beat again. LUCKY MAN (4) made some progress earlier in his career, and he is resuming from a spell as a much stronger gelding. A recent trial placing will ensure that he is ready to rumble fresh up. Each-way. DUBIOUS SIX (2) will be resuming from a spell for a new trainer. He cops a wide gate but should not be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hasana to win.
