GOING: G(4)

TOP OF THE RANGE BUILDERS Maiden Handicap 870m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: +1.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.85)  

Genuine tempo from Diamantina Rose leading Kingsland. KINGSLAND (2) has to be a big hope even if not over a distance befitting his breeding. He comes from racing in NSW and it was a very decent debut performance. Assuming he is not run off his feet, he has some gear added which might aid in that. SKY BLUE (6) improved nicely from first to second outing. She does back up quickly but must be going well. REVANTAS (3) went forward last time and while missing the placings, finished closer. Much nicer gate here too. IT'S A LONG ROAD (1) kicks off from a soft barrier so watch the market. DIAMANTINA ROSE (4) placed at Gatton on debut and rates an each way chance with the benefit of that race experience. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kingsland the bet.
