GOING: G(4)

Ladbrokes Blackbook QTIS Two-Years-Old Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +3m 1000m-W/Post; +1m Remainder.  

Good early pressure anticipated with a large representation of first starters. Tricky race to assess with a few of these facing the starter for the first time. Of the raced brigade the well-related CAROHVIC (1) (half to Listed winner and G3 placed My Khalifa) just ran into one better here on debut and will have derived a stack of benefit from that day at the races. Doesn't need to improve much to take this out. SECRET CYPHER (5) just ran into one better here at the latest effort in a career-best performance. Can go right on with the job now. TIMINCA (6) wasn't too far away at this circuit on debut before being tipped out for time to furnish. Revved up for this with a recent trial and looks one for the exotics players. LOOK 'N' WIN (9) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Carohvic to go one better.
