GOING: S(5)

City Printing Works QTIS Three-Years-Old Handicap 1050m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 0.5m Entire.  

Gotta Hero and Greylist should lock horns early at a strong clip. SUN WORSHIPPER (3) won a CL2 here second-up and is promising. She's been kept on the fresh side and the 3kg claim brings her right into it. She races forward and should be winning again. AMBERINGER (6) deserved the Maiden win at Yeppoon. She draws awkwardly but has more to give and is a hope. GREYLIST (1) won a Maiden at Mackay on debut and can build on that. Wiggins rides today and will give him every chance. WHAT A DOOZY (4) would win this at best but has been poor both starts this preparation. Stanley replaces the 3kg apprentice suggesting she'll go a lot better today. The betting will be key. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sun Worshipper to win.
