EAGLE FARM 160 YEARS RACEDAY QTIS Three-Year-Old BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1300m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: +9m Entire. (Pent: 5.85)  

Pace strong with Run Lucy Run and Facundo leading with Zheng You nearby. NOVEMBER SUN (10) brings strong Doomben form and missed a whisker last time heavily bet. Stays down in the weights and is ready to win. FACUNDO (4) was quickly back on track winning at Doomben and he has a low barrier and 2kg claim this time. He also presents fitter and has decent clisms. ESTRONDO (1) impressed winning easily at the Sunshine Coast and then switched to a good surface at Ipswich and didn't have the best of it. A top hoop is booked and a bounce isn't out of the question. HEAVENLY IMPACT (3) won an Open 3 here rating well and and has contested Group and Stakes company since. This is much more suitable and he draws to get every chance. FIREFORCE (9) tends to mix the form but his best would give him a hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: November Sun will take beating.

The race before that came from midfield and won by 2 len at Sunshine Coast Bm65 June 8 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Fighting Idol carrying 59.5kg at $5.50. A bounce back isn't out of the question.
