GOING: G(4)

QUAYCLEAN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 36)   Rail: +9m Entire.  

In the small field Saxon Jewel and Hope To Rule are expected to take up the running. THE NUN (5) has been good in stronger races than this her past couple and looks well suited back to this grade. Out to 1400m now, but she maps to get every chance in the run and she's still a filly on the rise. Can bounce back to winning ways. SEARCHIN' TIMES (1) has exploded since joining the Summer Dickson barn, winning very impressively over 1300m here last time out. This looks to set up similarly for Nottle who still claims 2kg. She's very progressive and there's no reason why she can't bring up the hat-trick. SO SI GOD (4) got the job done in good company on debut before jumping fav ahead of Searchin' Times most recently. She maps to be much closer in the run this time around which is a big key to her chances. Can go one better without surprising. HOPE TO RULE (3) was too good from the front last start and will look to repeat the dose. TOUSLED CROWN (2) gets Pike on board here and can feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with The Nun on top.
