VETERANS WELLBEING FOUNDATION QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +2m Entire.  

Red Moon Rising is expected to lead at a strong tempo. ESTEE EMM (5) just missed at Eagle Farm on debut and has looked the goods in her two trials leading into this. Promising and with average luck in the run will take plenty of beating. GOSSAMER GLOW (6) debuts for the top stable and owns a Deagon trial win. Has a 2kg claim and despite the awkward gate is likely to feature. SWORD OF LEGACY (15) is right up to this but has the 15 barrier before scratchings. Found one better at Eagle Farm first up after a switch from the Waller yard, and early last year missed a nose in Melbourne at Group 3 level. Has a 2kg claim and can feature if things work out. DUCHESS DIFFICULT (4) debuts and just missed in a recent Dragon trial. The gate is sticky but she profiles well. RED MOON RISING (10) resumes off a placing here on debut when she led. Will have come on and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Estee Emm to win.
