GOING: G(3)

INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERS DAY RATINGS BAND 0 - 55 Handicap 1100m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

Despite the wide draw Rocky Blonde should cross and set a genuine tempo. Tricky. QICKWIT (2) looked a run short at Esk and can find his best today over the longer sprint. He's won here and draws to advantage. The 2kg claim brings him right into it. ORSETTO (13) resumed in the same race and finished a whisker ahead of the above. He also maps well and has more to give. FANCI FLEUR (9) seeks the hat-trick off an easy win at Murwillumbah. Faces more competition here, but will race forward and has been kept on the fresh side. Has scope for more improvement. PRETTY RHO (12) hasn't been performing to her best, but she's been freshened and has the inside gate and handy 3kg claim. Won her only start here and is worth a look at a price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Qickwit.
