GOING: G(4)

Racing again Sat 28th September RATINGS BAND 0 - 55 Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 4.9).  

Lots of speed predominantly from Out Of Sight and Arrogant Heart. SNAZZY SNITZEL (3) wasn't disgraced at Coffs Harbour on debut before being tipped out for time to furnish. Has since returned with strong maiden victory at Rockhampton last time out and is sure to take some stopping again. OUT OF SIGHT (6) broke the maiden status in dominant fashion when resuming and will have taken confidence from that win. Looks a serious player. WHITTLESFORD (5) has hit the top-four in all three runs since joining the new stable and can fill the frame with any luck in running. Last-start winner SPEC OF SILVER (8) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 3,6,5.
