GOING: S(6)

THE DONOVAN & CO PROPERTY SPECIALISTS QTIS Three-Year-Old & Four-Year-Old Class 4 Plate 1400m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: +2m Entire. (Pent: 4.96)  

Expecting Zheng You to bounce to the front and lead from the low draw. Victorian raider ALECTRONA (8) loves this seven-furlong journey with two wins and four placings from eight attempts and should find this easier than what she has been facing down south. Is yet to miss a drum in four first-up attempts and a strong showing while fresh would not shock. MISS BUSSLINGER (16) hasn't been too far away in Listed company of late and will appreciate the drop back in grade here. Rates a genuine top-three commodity. FRENCH ENDEAVOUR (10) has been just behind the placings in both runs since joining the new stable and will be rock-hard fit for this. In the mix. The well-related PASIMA (6) (half to G3 winner and G2 placed Inkaruna) has placed four from four over this trip and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Sure to make his presence felt. SCUD (4) has hit the top two in all four runs around this circuit and shouldn't be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Alectrona to return a winner.
