Quirindi Picks

SPEEDY HENRY first start and fitter for Tamworth trial, has solid claims. BY LINDA first-up after 21 week spell and has had success trialling, in with a chance. BALLY ISLE placed in last trial at Scone, don't dismiss. TAKEOVER LAD first-up after 21 week break and placed at Tamworth on debut, chance to place.

Only one real pick to be made. BELLINI SPRITZ ran as favourite at only start and placed at Muswellbrook on a soft track, looks a moral. HALLE BEE has three placings from four runs this prep and finished a neck back from the leader last start at Tamworth, strong place chance. LADY LILIBET should run fitter for past attempts and gets the winkers back on, place chance. EVERYREADY BUNNY just missed as favourite last start at Kempsey and has placed in two attempts this campaign, consider in exotics.

HIBIKI HARMONY looking for a hatrick after winning two in a row at Muswellbrook and Quirindi, tough to beat. FLYING BANJO has very strong form at Quirindi and has two placings from six runs this prep, dangerous. BIT OF A STEP finished sixth last start at Tamworth and up in journey, place only. PACIFIC WARRIOR drawn ideally and won once this prep at Mungery four runs back, quinella.

Only one real pick to be made. ROMANTIC LOVE won or placed in two races to start career and Clayton Gallagher a bonus, rates a long way in front. ON THE QUIET only just missed last start, finishing a neck back from the winner at Muswellbrook on a soft track and won once this prep at Muswellbrook two runs back, capable of getting into the money. CALGA POWER let-up for six weeks and narrowly beaten when heavily backed last start at Quirindi, place only. BYLONG on a seven day back-up and a winner at first outing this prep, for the exotics.

Will be a close run race between the top picks. SWIFTWATER at only start winner at Scone and has shown potential in trials, one of the main hopes. MOVIN' DENMAN led all the way to win last start at Quirindi and won't be far away in the run, has solid claims. SEENI finished eighth last start at Tamworth when first up and ran third at Scone when last second-up, not without each-way claims. MRS ED resumes after a spell of 15 weeks and very strong resuming winning twice when fresh, place chance.

Doesn't appear much depth to this field. PLAY IT AGAIN first starter and won one of four trials, has solid claims. ZIHUATANEJO has placed once in three trials, could threaten. CHIDIAC won one of two trials, in with a chance. MYTHICAL MOOCHI amongst the placegetters last start running second at Tamworth and has two placings from seven runs this prep, looks threatening.

CLIMATE CONTROL has two placings from four runs this prep and racing back from the city, serious player. BILL PEYTO let-up and will come to hand quickly, each-way claims. THREETIMESALADY coming off a win at Narromine and should run fitter for past attempts, still in this. ARLIEBEL has got off to a poor start this campaign but should improve with fitness and finished seven lengths off the winner last start at Tamworth, in with a chance.
