GOING: S(6)

BROWN FAMILY WINE GROUP QTIS Three-Year-Old BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 6.00)  

Just a moderate tempo headed by Reigning Alpha, Mishani Invincible and Cole's Best. COLE'S BEST (2) fought on bravely when finishing fifth in a far stronger field at Eagle Farm 7 weeks ago. He has plenty of talent, as he showed by winning his first 2 starts on the bounce. He can cope with any track conditions, and back at this level, he is the one to beat. JUST CLIFFY (5) broke through for an overdue maiden win by 2 lengths here 4 weeks ago, and now that the penny has dropped, he can go right on with the job. REIGNING ALPHA (3) was fourth in a higher grade here 8 days ago. He has a superior draw this time, and with the benefit of a 2kg claim, he can give this a shake. READY GREY (6) won easily fresh up at Kilcoy before finishing under 3 lengths from the winner in a stronger lineup at Eagle Farm 3 weeks ago. He is poised to bounce straight back into the money here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cole's Best to win.
