RACE THREE
MAGGIE (5) is a 4YO mare stepping out in Qld for the 1st time, arriving from the South Island of NZ with a solitary win to her name. Not asked for much in a recent trial at Redcliffe where she was 2nd to BIG GEM MONTANA, she was closing in good order under a good hold. The gate is a little sticky, but she can open her Aus account.
RAYONG PRINCESS (2) has been in decent touch of late and backs up from a sweeping victory at Redcliffe on Thursday. Working home from back in the pack to arrive, it followed a half-neck 2nd 3 runs back when cut down in the closing strides after looking to lead throughout. From the gate she can throw it down.
BIG GEM MONTANA (3) is a 2YO taking on the older horses here after being banished to the trials last start after fading out. Leading throughout the start prior from a wide gate, he is a podium hope.
MANOFLISA (4) is yet to hit the board in 4 attempts at the track yet is probably going better now than at any of his other outings on the grass. Returning a sound effort last start when wide off the track, he can chime in.
SELECTIONS: MAGGIE (5), RAYONG PRINCESS (2), BIG GEM MONTANA (3), MANOFLISA (4)
SUGGESTED BET: MAGGIE (5) to win
