GOING: G

Klose's Foodland Queen Of The Hills 1400m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

A race that lacks early pressure on paper. TAHNEE TREASURE (2) is a handy mare returning for the Hardacre barn. Gets in well at the weights under the conditions and is a distance specialist. Will take plenty of stitching if she returns anywhere near her best. JILLADORA (4) made light work of her rivals last start on the Parks track after stalking the leader. Was backed up by the clock last start and is open to further improvement. ALPINE FLYER (1) returns and is a noted performer. Held her own in some tough races last campaign and has been readied with a trial. Should make her presence felt. TOSEN WATER (7) chased gamely into the frame when resuming last start. Is sure to have come on with that run under her belt and draws to get the gun run. Looks a genuine top three chance. MISS KERMIE (6) can bounce back sharply third-up off 35-day freshen. Don't overlook her to fill a drum. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tahnee Treasure the one to beat.
