GOING: G(4)

AB POWER Class 1 Plate 1000m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: True. (Pent: 4.01)  

Good pace from Zara Dansait, You Better You Bet and Richkiss. OUR BERLINETTA (9) did not fire after settling too far back at Thangool last time out and is likely to be ridden more positively early on this time from a superior gate. She is worth another chance. BORRELLI (1) has changed stables since failing to fire at Doomben a month ago. A change of scenery will do him no harm, and he will also find the company in North Queensland more to his liking. He has the pole position, and the market will tell the full story. BELLO BELLO (8) was a beaten favourite fresh up at Blackhall in her first start since leaving Victoria. She has not missed a cheque in 2 starts second up and can improve sharply. Follow your money. YEMEAN (11) was runner-up at Gatton last time out and has since transferred stables. Stick with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Our Berlinetta each way.
