GOING: S(5)

Brown Brothers QTIS Two-Years-Old and Three-Years-Old Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 7m 1000m-W/Post; Out 2m Remainder. (Pent: 5.56).  

No noted leader so it looks a very modest tempo. MR GRUMBLER (3) is first-up here but showed ability placing over this track and trip on three consecutive occasions before the spell. Should be ready to run a big race while fresh. Former Victorian CITY OF BOULDER (8) is having her first run for the new stable but will find this easier than what she faced down south. Keep very safe. MORE THAN YOU (11) has placed at the past couple and only needs some luck from the tricky draw to be prominent in the outcome. HARDTOCRACK (10) is improving with racing and looks one for the multiples. CARE TAKER (2) best of the rest in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Grumbler to shed the maiden tag.

First-starter by Vespa out of Love Struck. Dam was a winner of seven races and Group 3 performed. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Prefer others.

Two-year-old gelding (Under The Louvre - Merryanna). Half-brother to six-time winner Rawtekk. Dam was a winner of four races and Listed placed. Has trialled on two occasions leading into this race. Was second in a 900m barrier trial on June 17 at Rockhampton. Drawn well and seems fit enough to figure in the finish.

Had two starts to date. At long odds at debut, second last of 10 at this track Mdn on June 8 over 1000m, slow going 6 len behind Tsunami Force carrying 57kg at $41. Second-up ran last of 9 at this track 3yo Mdn on June 23 over 1000m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Super Freeze with 55.5kg at $81. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.
