GOING: H(8)

KOALA FARMS CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 3m 1000m-250m Cutaway Applies, True Remainder.  

Solid pace from Doyle pushing forward. CASTEL TROSINO (1) having his first run for the Commerford yard and back sharply in grade and trip today. Stretched out in trip when raced on the speed before tiring late to finish fifth over 3080m at Mornington on May 27. Kept fresh for this and did place at Sandown (H) five-back over the 1800m. Look for a sharp improvement back to the mile. KISSED BY EVIE (12) fifth-up for this and having a great prep. Got off the mark second-up before jumping in trip at latest when a fast-finishing second over 1526m at Lismore on June 18. Ready for the trip and look for her late from the sticky gate. TUQIRI (8) returned a much stronger gelding this time in after swooping late second-up when a 1.75 len winner over 1540m at the Gold Coast Poly on June 15. Looks up to this with the 2kg claim. EL ASTEROID (2) in need of the run when resumed with a plodding fifth over 1400m at Gatton on June 11. Has placed second-up and over this trip. Improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,12,8,2.
