GOING: S(5)

MILLER SOCKHILL LAWYERS QTIS Two-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +2m Entire.  

A strong tempo is assured with the first starters applying pressure to the noted on-pacers Gozo and Kodomari. Tricky race to assess with many of these babies facing the starter for the first time. Of the raced brigade GOZO (2) just ran into one better in town on debut and will have derived a stack of benefit from that race day experience. Sure to appreciate the drop back in grade here and should be going very close to breaking the maiden status. VAREJAO (3) has placed four from five this time in work and looks to be knocking on the door of a maiden victory. Looms as a serious threat. BIRDSVILLE BOY (5) is on debut but has shown some ability at the trials and is sure to be well-educated from the Heathcote barn. Respect any market confidence. WAX ON WAX OFF (20) wasn't too far away when at the races for the first time and will have come on with that run now under the belt. In the mix. PRONTO PERCY (16) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gozo to go one better.
