TRACKSIDE WITH RICKY PONTING QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Plate 1350m Track: GOOD4 Clear (Max: 22) Rail: +5.5m Entire. |

---|---|---|---|---|
Solid tempo headed by Come On Glamour and Meaner Than Evil. The well-related WHISPERING ROGUE (6) (half to 2xG2 winner and G1 placed Whispering Brook) has just run into one better in both career outings to date and may have found his right race here. Strips fitter second-up from the break and should be going very close to breaking the maiden status. KURITHEA (9) showed ability placing here on debut and will have derived a stack of benefit from that race day experience. Can improve enough to feature in the finish. TURBO TORQUE (5) has been thereabouts in all four starts and is sure to get a cosy run from gate two. Top-three candidate. COME ON GLAMOUR (7) strips fitter third-up, draws low and gets some weight off with the claim. Ticks a few boxes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Whispering Rogue to get a well-deserved victory.
