GOING: G(4)

RACE ZONE RACING SUPPLIES QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Always plenty of early pressure in sprint races such as this with a large representation of unraced runners. FASHION FLASH (5) did well during her initial prep through the spring and is resuming from a spell that would have done her the world of good. She won a trial earlier in the month by 2 lengths and will be ready to rumble fresh up. QUERIDA (13) roared home from last when finishing third here 2 weeks ago over 100om. The extra furlong will suit her and she should go close to having the last say in this. FRATIANNO (1) finished runner-up at his last run before having a spell. He will be a lot stronger this year and he looked sharp when finishing second in a recent trial. Watch closely. SAN JOSE BOY (4) made up some solid late ground when finishing third on the poly track here nearly 3 weeks ago. He strips fitter second up and another honest effort is expected. Each-way. WAKU WAKU (9) is on debut from a good draw. She was close up in her only public trial and is sure to have her admirers. Use the market as your best guide. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fashion Flash to win.
