GOING: G(4)

AQUIS 2025 SAFETY NET Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +5m 1000m-400m; +2m Remainder.. (Pent: 4.81)  

Not much early pressure but Abraham, What Did You Say and Miss Chamonix can take up forward spots. ABRAHAM (1) missed the frame on debut and then progressed nicely, beaten 1L over this trip at the Sunshine Coast, leading them up. Fitter again and is well placed to break through. WHAT DID YOU SAY (4) closed off strongly last start beaten 0.7L over 1400m at Dalby. In a top metro stable and the blinkers added is a positive sign. Fitter again and should be right in it. DEEP DRIVE (6) resumed at Eagle Farm in stronger and didn't get into it from a wide barrier. May need longer now but she rates well and has to be kept onside. ZOUMAN ALONG (5) is a former Victorian who should be ready to show more like his best. Maps for a soft run. ALL TOO FOXY (10) would be a chance if she found her best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Abraham.
