HUTCHINSON BUILDERS QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +5m 1000m-400m; +2m Remainder.. (Pent: 4.81)  

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a solid tempo. EXCELBOOM (3) turned in a good effort placing at Ipswich on debut and resumes for the premier stable. He will be naturally improved and has trialled well at Doomben. Looks cranked up for his return and this is suitable. VAREJAO (1) spiked his figures narrowly beaten at the Sunshine Coast and was spelled off that. Hasn't been seen publicly since then but draws the inside gate and has the blinkers applied for the first time, suggesting intent. A player. EGYPTIAN GODDESS (10) can go better back to a shorter print. Has pieces of form that would see her very competitive. BELLOVE (8) resumes and placed in a recent trial. Placed on the poly first-up last time and will have come on. Has a 2kg claim and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Excelboom
