Get in the ‘Q’ at Greyville

Jack Milner

Racemeetings on the Polytrack can often be quite competitive but Wednesday’s card at Hollywoodbets Greyville is certain to test punters to the limit.

However, that does mean there is a lot of value available on the card and if one can catch it right there is always a bundle of money to be made.

It is always a pleasure to back a winner and “Get In The Q”, and this could prove to be a double reality in Race 2, a MR 67 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1000m.  

This daughter of Querari caused a slight upset when coming back from a rest to score a runaway victory over 1000m on the turf last month despite jumping outward at the start and found to have a brushed wound on her right hind.

Prior to that some would argue her form was moderate, but she was racing against decent opposition as a juvenile and did not finish far off them. She also had tough draws to overcome in the last two of those. But anybody who cared to ask her trainer – and there have been various interviews – would have learned she is held in high regard, and after her victory trainer Mark Dixon commented that all she needed was time to mature.

Now she meets hard-knocking opponents, and some have developed good reputations on the Polytrack. But it must be remembered this is a lowly handicap and she appears to be at least above this field, if not higher.

The other important indicator is that she has had a race over this course and distance in which she finished a 3.50-length third behind Beaded Gown, so we know she handles the Polytrack.

Rachel Venniker takes the ride and that means 1.5kg will come off her carded weight of 60.5kg
