Verdict

CAPRICORNUS (1) returns from a layoff of six-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 5 ¼f at Mackay. One of the genuine hopes in the race. CRAIGLEA MONNIE (11) was thereabouts last time out finishing fourth after being prominent at the turn at her latest appearance over 4f at Ipswich. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. SHE'S GOT IT (6) led early and was still in the firing line on the turn last start before tiring to finish fourth over 5 ¼f at Rockhampton. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. KENNY THE BAKER (2) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 4f at this track. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Trifecta

A wager picking the first, second and third horses in the exact order. A trifecta box means paying more to ensure the horses can finish in any order in the top three spots.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.

Synthetic Surface

A racing surface comprised of silica sand and fibers, such as recycled carpet or spandex. The mixture is then sealed with wax.
