Book Event Centre for Functions QTIS Three-Years-Old Maiden Handicap 1050m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +2m 1100m-W/Post; True Remainder. (Pent: 5.70)  

They should run this along at a solid tempo with Styx River and Zelezny pressing on coupled with a few unknowns on the map. ZELEZNY (7) placed at Rockhampton first-up and then won a trial before disappointing here as a $2.3 favourite. He's been freshened and has a key jockey switch to Wiggins. Finds a suitable assignment. SET FOR LIFE (2) debuts and creates plenty of interest. He brings a spacious trial win from Rockhampton, and the betting will be key. SPIRITED (11) resumes owning an easy trial win at Townsville. She's switched from the Munce yard and has placed fresh. Gets Butler and is good enough. RED BEAUTY (4) resumes and has switched from a Victorian stable. Her debut effort at Ballarat rates well enough and she'd be a chance presented on song. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Zelezny.
