TYZAC VACUUM EXCAVATION QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 29)   Rail: +12m Entire.  

In a race without an obvious leader, either Prize Witness or Rusty Tycoon can roll them along. OUR MATE LOCKY (1) went down by a narrow margin in town last time out and will appreciate the drop back in grade here. Will be rock-hard fit for this and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. PARADISE AS USUAL (5) has been thereabouts in harder contests of late and gets some weight off from the favourable draw. Watch for a spike in form. PRIZE WITNESS (2) is unlucky to still be a maiden finishing runner-up in both runs this campaign and this is not an overly strong affair. Top-three credentials. RUSTY TYCOON (3) placed over this mile journey two back before just missing the frame in town last start. Don't dismiss lightly. STRIKE ME PINK (8) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,5,2,3.
