AQUIS STALLIONS THE HOME OF 2YO SPEED BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1200m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True .  

Expecting Peshwa to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. Competitive. DIVINE OKAY (1) has been busting to win in stronger races, and this is much easier than Eagle Farm last time. Went close in an Ipswich Open prior and with the 3kg claim is well-placed to be winning. ELLIEZ STAR (4) won three on end here before the spell. Resumed with a nice effort in a 70 at Ipswich and is proven second-up. Draws to get every chance. WHISKEY DANCER (8) is a local racing well. Her CL3 win at Kilcoy two back is the best guide to her chances, but she does have an awkward barrier to manage. PESHWA (2) is going well in the country and will jump from the low barrier and control the race. The 2kg claim assists, and he's sure to give a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Divine Okay.
