GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Queen Of The South Stakes 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.45)  

Solid tempo with Mystic Wonder leading from Brown Nose Day Gal and Wild Imagination. BLINDEDBYTHELIGHT (3) was super first up in the G2 Emancipation Stakes at Rosehill behind subsequent G1 winner Idle Flyer and is sure to have come on from that. ON DISPLAY (2) was well below her best last start at Caulfield but her runs behind Treasurethe Moment and Scheelite prior read perfectly for this. Trusting the stable have her back on track and she will prove very hard to hold out. CILACAP (4) has built nicely this campaign and looks ready to put it all together now. Childs from a low draw is a big tick and she should be right there when they quicken. TERILEE (8) is impossible to knock, shooting for the hat trick after two soft wins. Have to consider. BRAVE MISS (13) was a flashing light first up at big odds and if they hum along early she will be steaming late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Blindedbythelight to win.

Would have to take some leap to be threatening.
