GOING: S(5)

Kloses Supermarket Queen of the Hills 1400m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Zero Inn leading the way. SIXTEEN REASONS (5) was poised to strike when resuming at the latest but just lacked the winning blow. Expect her to improve with that run under the belt, as she steps out to a winning trip. Gets in well at the weights and should prove tough to stop. GAZE GRISE (4) has had a long time between wins but rarely turns in a poor one. Crowther reuniting is a good push for her chances, with the hoops saluting five times aboard. Gets 8kg off from her last run and is right in the mix. WILD IMAGINATION (1) didn't give his rivals a sniff first up but then struggled to follow it up in Listed company last start. This is easier and she drops back to a preferred trip. Can atone. ALPINE FLYER (3) returns and usually runs well first-up. His trial win here in readiness impressed and she's drawn to get all the favours. Sure to be competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Sixteen Reasons.
