GOING: G(3)

RACING NATION ON POWERFM Maiden Handicap 1300m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 2m Entire. (Pent: 5.85).  

Peach Galantes has enough tactical speed to race prominently. GAELIC THUNDER (12) ran on to grab second at Chinchilla in 1200m Mdn in first Qld appearance before a close-up 5th in a bunched finish at Dalby last start. Drawn nicely here and is capable of taking this out. DOWNEY (1) didn't have the best of luck along the rail on debut when 5th in 1200m Mdn here before running on steadily for 6th in another maiden here last start. Has rails draw and with even luck can figure in the finish. SUNCRAFT (11) has figured in the top-four placings on several occasions in maidens at this track, including a last-start third, and has to be considered for multiples again, while PEACH GALANTES (6) can also run a cheeky race from a good draw on the back of a last-start fourth here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Gaelic Thunder.
