QUEANBEYAN BLUES SEASON LAUNCH MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: True.  

Entirely Oak is expected to lead at a keen tempo. Dead-set tricky. ON THE FLY (10) trialled well and jumped a solidly bet $5 at Canberra on debut but disappointed (vet cleared). Gets in well with the handy 2kg claim and giving her another chance in easier company. ENTIRELY OAK (2) is a leader who is much better suited here. He has been within range a few times, and Owen is a positive jockey engagement. Has been freshened and will be hard to peg back. HAMPTON STYLE (9) debuts for Joe Cleary and has switched from a top Sydney yard. Has been metro trialled and has the blinkers on. Has a wide gate but is well-bred and a stable favourite rides. Keep very safe. STORMY WOO (3) would be a chance on his Goulburn effort two back but draws awkwardly. HELLCAT (5) is a local on resumption and is worth a betting monitor. SUGGESTED PLAY: Giving On The Fly another chance.
