GOING: G(3)

BERWICK EQUINE QTIS RATINGS BAND 0 - 55 Handicap 1075m

Track: GOOD 3     Rail: True.  

Braidwood Queen and Greylist can be prominent. DIAMOND MONEY (2) returned in good order with a win over this track and trip and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Winning rider Sewell sticks in the saddle and can go back-to-back to start the campaign. CATMISS (5) was a touch disappointing last time out but go on the two solid efforts to commence the preparation. Worth another chance. DAUNTING LADY (6) strips fitter third-up from the spell, is two from two around this circuit and draws low in gate two. Ticks a few boxes. VALENTINA EXPRESS (7) has a handy record over this distance range with a win and five seconds from 11 attempts. Shouldn't be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,5,6,7.
