GOING: G(3)

Geoff's Final Drive Maiden Handicap 870m Track: GOOD 3 Clear (Max: 28) Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 5.9).
Off the low draw Coltman has enough speed to lead the way in the absence of a recognised leader. CASUAL MAN (3) did not fire at Ipswich last start but was never on the track from a wide draw and understandably weakened out. His third fresh up at Gatton is a better guide and even though he cops another wide draw, he has Justin Huxtable replacing an apprentice and is expected to bounce straight back into the money here. On top. WICKED WINNEY (4) is a local mare making her debut after being given plenty of time to mature. She has shown some ability in a couple of trials on the track and won't have to be a superstar to win a race like this. A market watch is advised. PRINCESS LUTETIA (8) ran her best race in some time when finishing third at Dalby 2 weeks ago and may have turned a corner with her form. She has 2kg less to carry this time and can't be ruled out of winning this. HIGH MAGNITUDE (6) is on debut from a good draw and was a recent placegetter at the Gatton trials last month. The markets will be your best guide to her chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Casual Man each way.
