GOING: H(9)

DIGITAL VISION DIRECT QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 1200m

Track: Heavy 9   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +8m Entire.  

Plenty of pace likely from Boomtown Laddie, Blue White Blue and Written Reality battling for the lead from Mr Hilton. MR HILTON (1) just ran into one better in town at the latest effort and should find this assignment a touch easier. Drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and is sure to be right there when the whips are cracking. Former Victorian RUMBLE TOWN (19) is having his first run for the new stable but showed ability down south and this is a softer test. Keep very safe. RISE AND RESIST (11) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was good enough for a race of this calibre. Can feature while fresh. BOOMTOWN LADDIE (8) will be better off for that first-up run and gets the services of Rodd in the irons. Include in calculations. The well-related ZAYYANO (7) (half to 2xG1 winner Grunt) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Hilton to break the maiden status.

Filly by Dracarys facing the starter for the first time. Half-sister to three-time winner Adonisea. Dam was a winner of nine races. Finished fifth in a Sunshine Coast Inner Track trial over 850m on March 5. Trial form has been pretty ordinary and would be tempted to give her this first start.
