GOING:

BARRIER REEF POOLS QTIS Three-Year-Old BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1350m

Track: Heavy 10   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +2.5m Entire.  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by I'm Heroic. SAVOUR THE DREAM (1) is first-up here but the form he showed in his first preparation was full of merit, hitting the frame on all four occasions. Tuned up for this with two recent trial hitouts and should be going very close while fresh. LARIDAE (4) got the chocolates at the Gold Coast two back before not being disgraced in town at the latest effort. Will find this easier and looks set to run well. BLITZUM (3) broke the maiden status in impressive fashion around this circuit when resuming and will have derived a bunch of confidence from that victory. Can go right on with the job now. I'M HEROIC (8) was a touch disappointing last time out but the three runs prior were very good. Worth another chance. WALSH BAY (2) best of the rest with Wiggins in the stirrups. SUGGESTED PLAY: Savour The Dream to return a winner.

Draws out again but represents a major threat.

Most recently came from midfield and won by a nose at Kilcoy Mdn October 31 over 1200m defeating Marlee's Zander with 56kg at $16. The run before that second last of 12 at Eagle Farm 3yo C&G Mdn-Sw on October 23 over 1200m, 13 len behind Give Me Space with 58kg at $201. Obviously a lot harder and the ratings say he won't be competitive.
