GOING: G(4)

QN HOTEL LAIDLEY Class 2 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +0.5m 965-400; True Remainder.  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Kamariya. Open race to close out the card. DIVINE GEM (5) absolutely stonked them by five lengths over this course and distance at the latest effort and will have taken a bunch of confidence from that dominant victory. Winning rider Thomas stays on board and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to play a big role in the finish. FLY FIFER (6) resumes here but the form she showed when last in work was good enough to be competitive in this contest. Gets 3kg off with the claim and can run a race while fresh. LONE FORCE (2) has placed at his past couple and will be rock-hard fit for this. Top-three contender if he brings his A-game. KAMARIYA (8) is two from two over this track and trip and draws perfectly in gate two. Shouldn't be discounted. BEAT HOLLOW (4) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 5,6,2,8.
