GOING: S(5)

LADBROKES BIG BETS COPY NOW QTIS Two-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 1100m

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

Stylish Diamond or Pixie Lane to lead the small field. STYLISH DIAMOND (3) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in work, working home in good style at the most recent outing to finish second over 1200m at Rockhampton. Fitter and should be in the finish. DIANTE (4) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten a neck into second over 1100m at this track. Has a high cruising speed and is sure to be in the finish. CHARMING SEAHORSE (1) is a first-starter by Spirit Of Boom out of Rosa's Charm. Showed ability in a recent trial win at Rockhampton. Looks set to run well. MISSILE SHOT (2) stepped out on his debut over 1000m at Sunshine Coast two-and-a-half weeks ago and finished eighth, beaten 5.5 lengths. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stylish Diamond to go one better.
