GOING: G(4)

Hewitt & Whitty CRT Maiden Plate 1300m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 4.97)  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Lucky Crimson leading the way. JOIN THE QUE (2) ran a most encouraging race first up at Ballarat, drawing wide and getting home well for third with improvement to come. He'll strip fitter for that in this very suitable affair, and the slight rise in trip should suit better as well, go close. TABLE TWENTYEIGHT (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.75 lengths when fourth over 1209m at Echuca two weeks ago. Fitter again now and can be hard to hold out with even luck. TOBEYEUS (6) resumed with a solid run at Terang when finding his feet early before finishing nicely in third. He can improve off that. BACK OF THE BOAT (1) was much better second up at Warrnambool and warrants consideration now. CONISTON SPICE (7) was good on debut at Swan Hill and has claims with upside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Join The Que to win.
