GOING: S(5)

LADBROKES BIG BETS COPY NOW QTIS Three-Year-Old Handicap 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: True.  

In the small field Yorokobi or Viper Room should find the front. EXODAS (2) was an impressive Maiden winner last time out scoring by 1.75 lengths over 1100m at this track. Had switched yards and is still well shy of his metro and provincial best. Sparingly raced and the longer sprint suits. He finds a weak race and should have them covered. Stablemate MAYOR OF KINGSTON (3) resumes with a handy 2kg claim. He has ability but may find this a bit short. Has a handy 2kg claim and may be more forward this time around. THE KOBAY TRAIN (5) tries hard and will find this easier than Rockhampton. Has the rail and 2kg claim and has pieces of form that would see her competitive. YOROKOBI (4) has been struggling to find his best but fourth-up may go better today with Cormack replacing the apprentice. SUGGESTED PLAY: Exodas to win.
