GOING: G(4)

LARAINE CODY MEMORIAL HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 6.89)  

Playthatfunkymusic, Treasured Queen and Simple Logic all possess good speed. Competitive and the Fernie barn holds the aces. The speedy TREASURED QUEEN (8) raced well in town last preparation and he led and just missed here first up, heavily bet at a short quote. Proven second up, and she sits at the bottom of the weights. Stablemate ZING TO WIN (3) improved into a place here, running his best race. He will go close on that effort. PLAYTHATFUNKYMUSIC (1) is in the same barn and has been knocking on the door. The 4kg claim brings him into it. BAALBEK (5) is the other Fernie runner, and he's also going well enough to be a chance. SIMPLE LOGIC (7) has an inside barrier and 2kg claim and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Treasured Queen.
