GOING: S(5)

BARRIER REEF POOLS QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Plate 1700m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: +8m Entire.  

Moderate tempo with Prize Witness leading the way. HELLO DOLLY DIVA (7) missed a nose twice at Eagle Farm, the latest in an Open 3 and then was a little plainer beaten 2.4L in another Open 3 over 1625m at Toowoomba. KWT rides today, and reverting to Maiden grade, she's going to be very tough to beat. HELL TO THE LINE (2) has been narrowly beaten his last three and did a big job over 1680m here last time after settling rearward. Draws awkwardly, but he can feature if things go his way. OUR MATE LOCKY (4) is racing well, and two back he was beaten a whisker over 1630m at Doomben. Draws inside, and can make the finish if the splits come. PRIZE WITNESS (10) peaks and is heading in the right direction. She has early speed and may manage an outside barrier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hello Dolly Diva to win.
