GOING: G(3)

QN HOTEL Class 2 Handicap 1600m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

Not much early pressure but Lecan, Scoundrel and Baccarat Rouge can take up forward spots. Tough. SCOUNDREL (5) wasn't far away at Ipswich before blitzing the 55 graders by 4L at Beaudesert as a $2.7F. He has weight relief and has raced well in town over a mile. Expect the form to stack right up for this contest. BLINDING SPEED (6) deserved her win on the Gold Coast poly and followed with a narrow defeat in a Beaudesert 60. Went close this trip at the Sunshine Coast three back and is a serious contender. BACCARAT ROUGE (8) scored over 1500m at Kilcoy in a 58, leading all the way. Has a handy 2kg claim and will be hard to peg back. JEROME (10) turned in a strong run last time when second at Goondiwindi just six days ago. Backing up quickly over the longer journey. Jumps from a good gate and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Scoundrel.
