GOING: FM(2)

FIRST NATIONAL REAL ESTATE QTIS BENCHMARK 50 Handicap 1400m

Track: FIRM 2     Rail: True.  

Gee And Tee to take charge ahead of Mishani Persuasion at a solid tempo. Former Victorian GEE AND TEE (2) broke her maiden last start over 1600m at Bairnsdale, scoring by 2.75 lengths. Nicely placed to double the win tally. WANT TO BE PROUD (7) tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1600m at Nanango, beaten 6 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. VANCITY (12) finished second over 1800m at Goondiwindi at her most recent appearance on September 6. Has found the right race and is worth including in calculations. DEL TITO (9) has been thereabouts in both runs this preparation and will be ready to peak now third run back from a spell. Gets 3kg off with the claim and looks one for the exotic players. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Gee And Tee.
