GOING: G(4)

THE GIBSON QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 11m Entire. (Pent: 5.82).  

Genuine pace with Pre Eminence taking up the running ahead of Spruce and Caspernova. VIACONI (9) has been switched north by the Kris Lees yard on a 33-day turnaround. Resumed narrowly beaten at Scone and the longer sprint will suit. Impressed winning at Canterbury on debut and that effort makes good reading. Fitter and Rodd will give him every chance from an inside barrier. CASPERNOVA (1) rates a danger. He was beaten a head at Eagle Farm on debut and immediately spelled. Resumed with a 2L defeat on the Sunshine Coast heavy and is sure to improve off that. The gate isn't quite as awkward after scratchings and Duric sticks. PRE EMINENCE (6) has switched from a Sydney barn and resumes owning two sharp trials at this track. Placed at Gosford on debut and will be naturally improved. He's been off the scene for 300 days and that's a niggle. LIETUVA (2) resumes for the new yard and has shown enough to take seriously. SPRUCE (14) is third-up and has posted a 3L trial win since last seen. She had excuses at Doomben and the tongue tie goes on. Worth a look at a big price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Viaconi.
