GOING: S(5)

SPRITE QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +9m Entire. (Pent: 6.52)  

Not much early pressure but Statement Of Truth, Miss Adrift and Secret Rose can take up forward spots. SECRET ROSE (13) placed in both outings in her first campaign including a close-up second over this course and distance. Has since returned with an okay effort at Gatton and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Can improve enough to take this out. THE WHEELBARROW (5) wasn't disgraced in town on debut before being tipped out for time to furnish. Revved up for this with two solid trials and can run a big race while fresh. STATEMENT OF TRUTH (4) has hit the frame in both Gold Coast starts and looks to be knocking on the door of a maiden victory. Include in calculations. MISS ADRIFT (10) wasn't too far away here when facing the starter for the first time and will have derived a stack of benefit from that day at the races. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 13,5,4,10.
