COUNTRY MUSIC RACEDAY 6 SEPTEMBER QTIS Three-Year-Old Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 24)   Rail: +7m Entire. (Pent: 5.85)  

Statement Of Truth has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. IMPERVIOUS (5) hasn't done much wrong with a win and three placings from four starts to date and will strip fitter with that first-up placing now in the locker. Has placed two from two around this circuit and should be hitting the line with gusto. The penny has dropped for FOREIGN PRESS (2) who has put back-to-back wins together this campaign and winning rider Graham stays on top. Can bring up the hat-trick here. The well-related WHISPERING ROGUE (1) (half to 2xG2 winner and G1 placed Whispering Brook) got the maiden out of the way last time out and will have taken a stack of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Has to be included. PROFOUNDLY (4) gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claim and may run a big race while fresh. PINK VIXEN (3) rounds out the selections in an open affair. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 5,2,1,4.
