GOING: S(6)

GORDON'S GIN QTIS Two-Year-Old Maiden Plate 1350m

Track: SOFT5   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 5.70)  

No recognised leader so Saveur could find herself in front. FIRST EMPIRE (3) didn't have much luck on the heavy on debut and then just missed on a good surface at Doomben. That's good form and he maps well and will be fitter. The one to beat. GO MARO (4) also improved sharply at his second start beaten a nose at the Gold Coast. He will also improve off that and can be in the finish. Ditto SAVEUR (12) who resumed in the First Empire race beaten 2L. Has the blinkers on for the first time and draws well. She won't have to improve much to feature. SPOT THE AUSSIE (7) did an okay job at Doomben on debut from a wide gate. Has an awkward draw again but can get closer with better luck. In good hands and keep onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing First Empire.
