HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY BRUCE QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 1050m Track: SYNTHETIC Rail: True. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo with Vitthal possessing the dash to work to the lead. HOLLYWOOD EPIC (1) debuts for a sharp local barn and just missed in his recent trial. Has an awkward barrier but expect the colt to be good enough to manage. VITTHAL (5) is proving hard to catch but placed in the bush last time and three back missed a whisker at Toowoomba. On a quick backup and has race fitness. DANCES IN GRINZING (6) debuts and impressed her latest trial. Has a small claim and the rails gate and is likely to go well. MATTE BLACK (7) resumes and his trial form suggests he'll come back to racing much improved. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hollywood Epic finds the right race.
