GOING: S(5)

BARRIER REEF POOLS BM58 Handicap 1350m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 7m Entire. (Pent: 5.5).  

Not clear-cut the speed. QUEST OF QUESTS (1) won here this grade as expected and has more to give. He presents on a 7-day return and Maloney sticking is a decent push for his chance. JEALOUS (6) is a clear danger. She was beaten 1.3L at Eagle Farm first-up in a CL1. She is proven second-up and jumps from an inside barrier. BEEN A SECRET (5) has been knocking on the door since the Maiden win on the poly. Has to find a bit more to be winning but can't be ruled out. CLASSIQUE GAL (10) resumes and is handy at best. Maps well and shouldn't be far way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Quest Of Quests.

Returns from a 34-day let-up. Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 14 at Warwick 0 - 58 on August 30 over 1500m, 2.5 len behind Nerano with 57kg at $14. The run before that came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Dalby 0 - 55 on August 5 over 1400m, 1.3 len behind Marcada with 58.5kg at $8. Others make more appeal.
