VETERANS WELLBEING FOUNDATION QTIS Three-Year-Old Colts and Geldings Maiden Handicap 1200m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +9m Entire.  

Power Of Success is the likely leader at a strong tempo. OUT OF TURN (3) has been knocking on the door of a maiden victory hitting the top-four in both starts to date and this is not an overly strong affair. Hoop Brooker has been in the irons for both outings and stays on top here. Rates the testing material. POWER OF SUCCESS (4) strips fitter second-up from the spell and gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claim. Top-three candidate. CANTANKEROUS (2) has placed two of four overall and only needs some luck from the wide draw to be prominent. JOPPA LANE (9) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Out Of Turn to break the maiden status.
