LADBROKES OWNERS PROMOTION QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: True.  

Who Asked Zou and Kamala can be prominent. Tricky. PRECISE TORQUE (2) was quickly back to form beaten 1L at Rockhampton before tackling stronger at the Gold Coast, missing a place. Has switched yards on a 26-day return and can position forward from an inside gate. Finds a suitable race and gets the chance to break through. SCIALLA (10) debuts and brings a string of sharp trials. The in-form Cartwright is booked, and a bold run is on the cards. MOONYA LAD (1) looked a run short at Townsville first-up, and quick improvement is likely with Wiggins going aboard. Draws an inside gate and will get every chance. WHO ASKED ZOU (4) disappointed at Townsville but led and missed a whisker here prior. Has the blinkers on again and will be in it a long way. GYPSY'S DAUGHTER (6) debuts and just missed in a recent Rockhampton trial. Deserves a betting watch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Precise Torque appeals most.
