GOING: H(10)

SUNSHINE MITRE 10 QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 1600m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +9m Entire. (Pent: 6.86)  

Genuine tempo with Stromboli Delight leading the way. TOREADOR (2) has been knocking on the door of a maiden victory with five consecutive runner-up finishes and this is not an overly strong affair. Placed over this mile journey at the latest effort and Thornton sticks from the favourable draw. Ticks plenty of boxes. BETTER DRAW (6) put in a career-best performance when resuming and may have turned the corner now. Top-three credentials. STROMBOLI DELIGHT (11) has placed at her past three efforts and may earn some minor money again. PEE BEE NOIR (13) rounds out the selections in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Toreador to go one better.
