GOING: G

THE BOTTLE-O Maiden Plate 1540m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True.  

Genuine pace headed by He Is The Kiss from his wide draw. JO JO ZIP (3) is back from a spell of 17 months but showed ability in a short maiden campaign including a debut placing at Gatton over 1400m. In a different yard now and readied with a trial. Could make a winning return. HE IS THE KISS (2) switches to synthetic for the first time. Improved for a 1.5 length second over 1200m at Kilcoy most recently. Fitter again third-up so may be hard to topple. GREEN MEADOWS (6) is a four-start maiden who was close to a win before a 12 week break, finishing off with a minor placing at Sunshine Coast. Nicely drawn and should be right in this. MAD ANA (11) was fourth over 2000m at Doomben last time out. Has top-three prospects. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jo Jo Zip to make a winning return.
