GOING: G(4)

QUEANBEYAN PRE-MIX CONCRETE HANDICAP 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 4.18).  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Best Intent. Competitive. LOUIE'S LEGACY (4) peaks off two narrow defeats with the latest here in a 70 over this distance. Krogh is a key jockey switch for the apprentice and the gelding should get every chance to go one better. LAUREL HILL (1) won an 82 and was narrowly beaten here after over 1400m in Open grade. She powered home in that and today has her first try over a mile. A decent chance. VAGUER (3) resumes for a top Sydney barn. He will come into his own over further, but he's placed at this track trip and is certainly good enough. He's trialled well and can use the low barrier. LAST STRAW (5) was tried at Group 1 level before spelling and she resumed at Randwick-Kensington and needed the outing. She's trialled since and is much better suited in the grade and stepping up to the mile. Expect her to sit handy from an inside draw and JVO is a positive jockey booking. BEST INTENT (2) got no favours here last time and is also in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Louie's Legacy.

Useful type. At the latest run 2nd of 10 at this track Tab Fed Open 85 on September 6 over 1400m, 0.7 len behind Belleistic Kids with 55kg at $5. The race before that won by 1.0 len at Moruya Scc Cup August 18 over 1435m in soft going defeating Dubai Centre carrying 55kg at $6.50. Wasn’t too far off the mark last time. Shapes as a top prospect.
