BROWN COMMERCIAL BUILDING PROVINCIAL MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: +3m 1100m-W/Post; True Remainder.  

Step Quick and Exotique can be prominent. STEP QUICK (5) ten-start maiden ready to shed his maiden status. Has been a model of consistency all prep and gets some weight relief here after gripping on late when fourth over 900m at Newcastle. Due for a change of luck. ALL SAINTS (1) showed ability on debut when a narrow second at Kembla Grange. Returned with a disappointing sixth over 1000m at Hawkesbury. Finds an easier assignment and can return to form. DORALEE (3) has been kept fresh and since fitted with an 800m tick over trial. The cross-over nose band goes on and doesn't have to improve much to have genuine top three claims. EXOTIQUE (6) underrated two-year-old filly who maps to get a much better run today. Speared across from the wide draw and was left a sitting shot late when a fading last over 1000m at Hawkesbury. Ear muffs go on and expected to bounce back quickly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Step Quick in a close contest.

Rates highly and looks a strong winning hope.
