Queensland Day Stakes – 2023

Track: Good Weather: Fine

Open race. Golden Boom was a strong winner last start and can go on with things here. Red Card should land on the speed and give another bold sight while Written In Code was very strong to the line and maps for a nice run. Ekaterina will be closing hard on them and Stroll goes in the mix.

1. Brereton (1)

Needs another win. Prefer others.

2. Golden Boom (5)

Strong last start win and stable adamant it will improve out in trip. Major chance.

3. Millane (6)

Prefer others.

4. Dark Harmony (4)

Outclassed.

5. Helluva Barty (17)

No luck last start but drawn awkwardly in this. Leaning to others.

6. Chairman (14)

No luck last start but tough draw again. Can run into a placing with even luck.

7. Pocket Full (16)  – SCRATCHED

8. Russian Conquest (15)  – SCRATCHED

9. Lady Laguna (18)

Quality galloper but no favours from the draw today. Leaning to others with map advantages.

10. Eketarina (11)

Closed hard last start and just needs a tow into the race at the right time to give a bold sight in this. Likeable at the odds.

11. Stroll (10)

Well placed in this field and has a booming turn of foot. Hard to hold out in this.

12. Red Card (9)

Strong win last start and can land on the speed and notch up back to back victories in this.

13. Cythera (8)  – SCRATCHED

14. Ghaanati (19)

Can’t have.

15. Valiancy (3)

Maps kindly and had no luck last start. Best roughie in the race and has John Allen sticking in the saddle which is a plus.

16. Queen Assassin (13)

Knows how to win but this is a decent leap in grade. Place chance.

17. Bezique (12)

Market watch.

18. Written In Code (2)

Has flashed some good ability to date and suited by the draw and longer trip. Major player.

19e. Maximum Vortex (7)  – SCRATCHED
