GOING: H(8)

GREAT NORTHERN QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT7   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 0.5m Entire. (Pent: 6.14).  

Not expecting them to go too hard without a recognised leader engaged. MONDAY CHOICE (6) put in two handy runs here including one over this trip before being tipped out for time to furnish. Has since tuned up for this with a dominant trial victory and looks ready to shed the maiden tag. STEP TO SUCCESS (5) showed ability placing at Townsville when facing the starter for the first time and will have derived a stack of benefit from that race day experience. Has to be included. AGNES WATERS (8) strips fitter second-up and may earn some minor money. BUTE MOVES (1) next in line while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Monday Choice to win.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at this track 3yo Mdn on May 23 over 1300m, slow going 3 len behind Played carrying 56kg at $1.60. Second run from a spell failed to make an impression; 9th of 11 at Mackay 3yo Mdn on June 18 over 1300m, 10 len behind Sailor's Rum with 55kg at $21. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
