GOING: G(4)

OUR LADY OF THE SOUTHERN CROSS Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: Out 2m 600m-300m; True Remainder.  

Solid tempo with Split The Cash possessing the dash to work to the lead. APOLLO TEN (9) has laid down a strong foundation with two solid Sunshine Coast placings. Maps well and fitter will be tough to beat. TWOPENCE (8) is a former Victorian who missed a whisker at Toowoomba first-up and then was well supported at Gatton and disappointed. She would win this at best and has been freshened. She's capable of using the rail and gets another chance. DARE TO LOVE (3) was beaten 1L at Gatton running along. Has a 2kg claim and the extra metres won't bother. A chance. ONATARE (6) will improve with a run under the belt and deserves good thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Apollo Ten.
