GOING: S(6)

TAB QTIS Two-Year-Old Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +10m Entire. (Pent: 5.70)  

Cracking tempo with Wax On Wax Off and Anabia leading the way. The well-named WAX ON WAX OFF (3) looks to be improving with racing and should be ready to peak now third time at the races. Top-three contender. MISS LEANA (7) has placed three of four overall and gets the services of Jones in the irons. Don't underestimate. METALCRAFT (1) will be better for that debut effort and is worth some consideration. YEAH BUDDY (4) placed on debut and Tilley sticks in the saddle. May trouble the judge. UNFAITHFUL (10) missed the placings on debut then didn't feature last start when tenth over 1000m at Sunshine Coast. Look for an improved run here with the added fitness. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 3,7,1,4.
