GOING: G(4)

LADBROKES TOP 2/3/4 BETTING QTIS Three-Year-Old Handicap 1350m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +1m Entire. (Pent: 5.96)  

Backstage has good gate speed and can overcome the wide draw to lead. MISTER BIANCO (1) has hit a purple patch of form stringing three wins together on the bounce and is racing high on confidence this preparation. Only needs some luck navigating from the wide draw to winning a lion's share of the prize money again. The well-related AMUSEANTES (3) (half to G1 winner Startantes) looked good shedding the maiden tag last time and will get the run of the race from the inside alley. Can go right on with the job now. NOBLE DECREE (6) is one from one over this course and distance and doesn't know how to run a bad race. Bold showing expected again. SHE OURS (11) has hit the top-four in seven of eight career efforts with the only failure coming at Listed level. Has to be included. CHIEF IN CHARGE (10) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,3,6,11.
