GOING: G

G & G BROWNE SMASH REPAIRS Class 1 Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Strong tempo with Worksmeup, Consorting One and Imminent Boom leading the charge. QUARRY MAN (2) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by a long neck over 1100m at Springsure. Won at his only second-up appearance and is a great chance to get the prize again. IMMINENT BOOM (7) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at Augathella. Nice return and expected to take catching again. WORKSMEUP (8) is coming along nicely this prep, scoring by 2.25 lengths last start over 1000m at this track. Has her share of talent. Won only try course and distance and looks very tough to beat again. SCARLET HAZE (9) is unbeaten at the trip and can play a big role again. TELL US TOLL (3) ran very well first run for new yard and expected to go close. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Quarry Man.
