GOING: S(6)

PORTABLE HORSE STABLES MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 5.25)  

Quein Step has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. HONEY PERFUME (2) has her hoof on the till third up and since fitted with an 810m trial win at Warwick Farm. Drawn to get the gun run and ready to win. MISSIE LEE (6) attacked the line strongly when an unlucky debut third over 1000m at this track in fast time. Has further upside and sure to be thereabouts again. QUEIN STEP (3) Randwick-trained filly who showed good early dash on debut when a game neck second over 1000m at this track. Returns from a let up and goes close. EXCESS CAPITAL (11) showed good early dash and raced on the speed at the first run back before fading to run fifth over 1000m at this track. Should have come on strongly with the run and gets her chance from the draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Honey Perfume to win.

Facing the starter for the first time. Four-year-old gelding by Sooboog out of Eight Eighty Eight. At the most recent trial finished fourth on March 23 at Goulburn over 800m. Trial form has been pretty ordinary and inclined to let him go around in this.
