GOING: S(7)

GORDON'S GIN RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1100m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: True.  

Strong pace with Miss Zermatt, Hit and Smooth Flight paving the way. ZUETORO (3) is a former Victorian who was narrowly beaten at the Sunshine Coast first-up. He's trialled well into that and has more to give. Keeps the handy 2kg claim and is ready to win. MORGANITE (13) is in the premier stable and led and won a Beaudesert Maiden easily first-up. She will be better for that and will run along from an inside gate. She's sure to keep improving. KERNEL BOOM (7) is also in good hands and has been good at both starts this preparation. He's been freshened and maps for a soft run. He has more to offer. MR POLAR (6) is a veteran who brings a narrow defeat from the Sunshine Coast. He will push forward and the 3kg claim brings him into it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Zuetoro.
