GOING: G(4)

SAVE THE DATE 2025 CHARITY GOLF DAY 27TH JUNE COLTS, GELDINGS & ENTIRES RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1100m

Track: Good 4     Rail: +1m 800m-300m, True Remainder .  

The trio Qickwit, Moet At Midnight and Apollo Ten will set a strong tempo. Former Victorian FORT WILLIAM (7) wasn't too far away when having the first run for the new stable and will have come on with that run now in the locker. Should find this easier than what he faced down south and gets some weight off with the 1.5kg claim. Hard to toss in this suitable race. ZUETORO (4) is another former Victorian and the stable has been having some success with tried runners. Ready to peak third-up from the spell. MY SICADA (3) has shown improvement this campaign and looks the runner in this field with the most upside. Top-three hope. CHISUM (6) goes well for hoop Hamblin who has a win and two placings from four rides. Include in calculations. QICKWIT (12) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 7,4,3,6.
