GOING: S(5)

A PLUS PLUMBING HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 4m 1000m-380m. True Remainder. (Pent: 4.1).  

Genuine pace with Starliv finding the front from her low draw. CHASING A QUID (1) seeks the hat-trick off emphatic wins. Keeps getting better and despite the weight rise can salute again. NOT THAT EASY (3) threatened at the provincials and then came here and recorded at commanding with this grade/trip. Has a soft gate and no surprise if she went back-to-back. LYRICAL BEAUTY (5) is third up and should be ready to show her best. Placed as a short-priced favourite at Wagga last time and has the early speed to manage the wide gate. A player as well. WILKSHIRE (2) won a 60 here as expected and was immediately spelled. Tipping he'll be presented more forward this time around and has the gate speed to sit handy if directed. SANTORINI SUN (7) was further improved easily winning the 58 at Nowra first-up. Fitter and can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Chasing A Quid.
