GOING: G(4)

Quayclean Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Magnardo should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. KOOLATAH QUEEN (8) resumes and has switched from a Queensland yard on a 73-day return. Will race over further but has the class and won at Flemington his latest jumpout, and Ben Allen sticks from that. Has the inside barrier, and a bold run is likely. MAGNARDO (9) has scored at her last seven starts, most recently by 1.3 lengths over 1200m at this track as favourite. Keep getting better and has a handy 2kg claim. She's a big threat. ICHIBERU (3) dug deep winning this grade at Seymour this trip. Always puts in and looks capable of making the finish. JUST REMEMBER IT (1) drops back in grade and was narrowly beaten at Yarra Valley and Moe before the latest. Has a handy gate and 2kg claim and is well in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Koolatah Queen if the betting suggests stable confidence.
