GOING: G(4)

THE TERRY BOURKE MEMORIAL QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 36)   Rail: +1m Entire Course.  

Solid tempo with Betterindanude possessing enough dash to find the front. Tricky and the betting will be instructive. YEAH BUDDY (5) resumes for the Webster yard and brings placings from Ipswich. He's trialled well and will be naturally improved. He's up to this and looks ready to go. AMERICAN CONQUEST (1) wasn't far away over 1000m at Sunshine Coast on debut and there was merit in the effort after a slow start. He was an easy trial winner here prior, and this looks winnable with the extra fitness. BENT BRIDGE (6) resumes and had just one start last preparation failing on a heavy track at the Sunshine Coast. He has missed a lip at that venue prior, and that's good form. He's trialled well enough for his return, suggesting he can get back on track. MISHANI VISION (10) got too far back at the Sunshine Coast 13 days ago but was good placing at Ipswich on debut. Strips fitter and we're likely to see more from her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yeah Buddy appeals most.
