GOING: H(8)

ALLISON BADEN CLAY FOUNDATION QTIS Three-Year-Old Benchmark 65 Handicap 1350m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +8m Entire. (Pent: 6.30)  

Plenty of pace from Divine Diamonds, Indubitably and Charming Nic ahead of Hurricane Rosie. CHARMING NIC (2) is in a leading Victorian stable and was backed off the map, leading and winning a 55 on the Sunshine Coast poly. Lightly raced, and he's sure to keep improving. Uses the low barrier and has weight relief in this grade. BENGAL DIAMOND (11) was beaten 3.1L in the Maragical race and has won a trial since. Two back, she was beaten less than two lengths in a Doomben 70, and she's capable of hitting the line. I'M HEROIC (1) got too far back on a heavy track at Doomben but finished well, winning a 62 at the Sunshine Coast, first up prior. Needs a good ride from the 2kg apprentice, but is fitter and should be around the mark. INDUBITABLY (6) turned in a nice run first up then disappointed last time at this track, finishing eighth over 1100m. Fitter and a place hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Charming Nic.
