GOING: G(4)

AQUIS GOLD PEARL QTIS 2YO Fillies 1100m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.88)  

Good pace with Shiki, Scartoon and Inhabit matching motors. BY CHOICE (2) wasted no time getting off the mark at Randwick on debut and winning rider Bayliss follows her up the highway here. The Waterhouse/Bott stable have a strong record with two-year-olds and can go back-to-back to start the career. SHIKI (1) looked good winning the Gimcrack when at the races for the first time before being tipped out for further time to furnish. Has since just missed the frame at Randwick last time out and will have come on with that run now in the locker. Looms as the main danger. TIGRONI (6) has hit the frame in both starts to date and Lloyd sticks in the saddle. Top-three aspirations. INHABIT (7) brings SA formlines to the table and any market support must be noted. DOUBLE COOL (10) next best with McDonald on from the inside marble. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing By Choice.
