GOING: G(4)

SENQ Class 3 Plate 1000m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: 1 metre Entire.  

Express Code and Hearts Are Better can be prominent. The well-related NEGOTIATIONS (2) (half to G2 winner Hidden Motive) has been knocking on the door of another victory with five consecutive top-four finishes and strikes a winnable contest here. Is a two-time winner over this sprint journey and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. Rates the testing material. TEN GOOD REASONS (4) also hails from a handy family (half to G2 winner and 2xG1 placed Osipenko) and the form he showed when last in work was good enough for a contest of this nature. Can run a race while fresh. HEARTS ARE BETTER (5) is first-up but has a win and a second from two fresh attempts and has tuned up for this, winning two recent trials. Has to be included. EXPRESS CODE (9) has plenty of upside and makes some appeal. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,4,5,9.

Before that led but faded 3rd of 8 at Toowoomba Cl3-Sw on September 27 over 1000m, 4 len behind Pre Eminence carrying 55kg at $5. Can play a significant role.
