GOING: G(4)

HAPPY 90TH BIRTHDAY ROY OLIFF MIDWAY CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

A hot tempo is expected with plenty of speed engaged. SHE CONQUERS (2) lost no admirers first up and this trip is her go. Drawn to rattle and hum. QUARTZ LEGEND (1) got shortened up last start as an odds on pop in crazy time. Has trialled nicely since though and worth another chance. TESSY TEE (3) may need further than this but is a proven fresh horse. Recent trial suggests a productive campaign awaits.  BETHSHEBA (5) scored a deserved maiden win last start and is a natural speed horse. Can measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: She Conquers win.
