CLUB QUIRINDI LIGHTNING QUIRINDI LIGHTNING SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.61)  

Solid tempo expected primarily from Super Hot and Wilbury. WILBURY (6) has his share of ability with the ticker to match. Peaking now as he shoots for the hat-trick and has enough early dash to offset the sticky draw. Expect him to be in this for a very long way and not roll over. COSY CORNER (4) is yet to strike through this campaign but has been much better in her last two and looks set to run a big race with the blinkers going on first time. Booking of Bullock adds to confidence. NOSEY PARKER (1) has been mixing his form but possesses a strong turn of foot on his day. Drops back slightly in trip off a 34-day break and can climb over their backs late. GOLD LOVER (8) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wilbury gets the nod.
