GOING: G(3)

QUEENSLAND COTTON CLASS 2 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD3   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: True.  

Strong early tempo assured with Bupkis and Stratified locking horns. MS REEVES (5) underrated mare on the quick back up after turning in a gritty performance from the wide draw when a close up third over 1300m at Dubbo on November 2. Drops further in weight and she should be able to get cover for the gate. MRS BULL (6) improved sharply last time out when returning good figures as favourite to salute over 1300m at Dubbo eight days ago. Drops further in weight and expected to go close again. SMART ROOSTAR (3) has needed the two runs back and he should be able to hit his straps for this. Won his first two starts last time and reunited with winning rider Clayton Gallagher. STRATIFIED (4) drops in weight today from a better draw after finishing a close up fifth over 1100m at Quirindi on October 28. Stays in the calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,6,3,4.
