GOING: G(4)

THE AACO OUTBREAK BREAKAWAY QTIS BENCHMARK 55 Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4     Rail: +2m 600m-300m; True Remainder. (Pent: 5.73)  

Strong tempo, primarily from Smart Recognition and Rangi Toa. CEEKAY'S CHOICE (2) scored at this track two starts ago. Last time out found one better over 1200m at Toowoomba, 5.5 lengths from the winner. Major player. DASHING HOPE (10) drifted back and never threatened when sixth last start over 1400m at Sunshine Coast. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. BRAIDWOOD QUEEN (9) improved last time out to score by 5 lengths as favourite over 1470m at Gympie. No reason she cannot salute again. MISS BIITTERSWEET (6) resumed over 1000m at Taroom last start and was too good for her rivals, scoring by 2 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Trifecta 2,10,9,6.
