GOING: G(4)

Book Event Centre For Functions QTIS Three-Year-Old Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.9).  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Bush Diamond. VIENNAWAITSFORYOU (6) resumes here but the form she put together before the spell was full of merit and winning hoop Stanley sticks in the saddle. Revved up for this with a recent Rocky trial and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. BUSH DIAMOND (2) is an honest campaigner who is yet to miss the top-five in eight career outings and is one from one over this course and distance. Drawn to get across easily from gate two and will give backers a sight. BOLD COMIC (1) strips fitter third-up, draws the inside marble and gets 4kg off with the claim. Plenty to like. HARCASION (10) will be better for that first-up effort and may earn a cheque. DRAGON'S SNIP (3) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 6,2,1.
