GOING: S(5)

BOSTIK QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: +3m 900-W/Post; +2m Remainder. (Pent: 4.88)  

Pace strong with The Grand Duchy and Jeans leading with Miss Wildcat nearby. JEANS (2) is unlucky to still be a maiden placing in all four starts to date and strikes a very winnable contest here. Can find the winners' circle. MISS WILDCAT (4) has placed over this course and distance and maps nicely for this from gate three. In the mix. THE GRAND DUCHY (12) has been in the market at both career efforts and where there's smoke there's fire. Keep very safe. THRASH A BULLY (11) gets the inside draw for the return and is likely to have come on over the break. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jeans to break through.
