RACE THREE
NICKS PICK (3) started from gate 1 as the race fav here last week and when the field sorted themselves out, he was soon buried 3 back on the pegs. Using the passing lane to get within 5m of the win, he has now placed in 5 of 8 for the term and this can be the day the maiden win arrives.
SCOTCH EN ICE (10) went within a half-neck of victory last week when stepping out for the 2nd time in his career. Finding the front from gate 3, he led all bar the stride that counted when nabbed on the wire. With the added race experience, he can look to overcome the tough gate.
BAILEYS WITH LEGS (1) is Queensland’s most experienced 2YO, with the filly getting closer to what has so far been an elusive maiden breaking win. Grabbed in the closing stages last start, she can go close again.
NOT THE KINGSWOOD (4) caught the eye on debut last week when snagging back from gate 6. Looking for gaps in the stretch, he was slicing between runners in a nice effort. With the added experience, he can be thereabouts.
