GOING: G(4)

VINCE INSURANCE QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +10m Entire. (Pent: 5.15)  

Solid tempo set by Just Walter and Fast Fun. BATTESIMO (1) has shown ability winning both trials to date and strikes a very winnable contest here on debut. Promising type who looks the testing material. JUST WALTER (3) just missed the placings when facing the starter for the first time and will have derived a stack of benefit from that day at the races. Can improve enough to feature in the finish. FAST FUN (6) has hit the frame in both outings to date and is drawn to get a gun run in transit from gate three. Expected to measure up. IN GREAT SPIRIT (12) resumes here but can run a race while fresh. CASHIEN (2) is another facing the starter for the first time but is sure to be well-educated from the Munce yard. Respect any market moves. SUGGESTED PLAY: Battesimo to win on debut.
