Consistent duo KEEP YOUR ROSES and CARTLAND will be looking to break-through for their first wins this preparation at today’s midweek Metropolitan meeting at Doomben.
KEEP YOUR ROSES drops back in grade from a Saturday Metropolitan Class 2 (1300m) won by stablemate ZOUCARA at Eagle Farm on Saturday, February 23.
Three-year-old filly CARTLAND finished with her third second placing this preparation at the Gold Coast last start and is chasing a deserved Maiden victory today.
Trainer Chris Munce previews their chances below:
Doomben: Brisbane Racing Club@Doomben Wednesday 06, March 2019 | View race field
| Race 1 – 1:18PM BLOKES DAY OUT RACEDAY Maiden Handicap (1200 METRES) |
|---|
| Colours | No. / Horse Name / Barrier | Jockey | Weight | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
6. Cartland (4) | Mark Du Plessis | 55.5kg |
TRAINER COMMENTS: “She’s very fit now and ran the 1200m out quite strongly the other day, it just took one a little bit better than her to beat her on the day. It looks the right race for her on paper.”
| Race 7 – 4:50PM WEDDINGS AT BRC Class 2 Handicap (1350 METRES) |
|---|
| Colours | No. / Horse Name / Barrier | Jockey | Weight | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
7. Keep Your Roses (9) | Larry Cassidy | 55.5kg |
TRAINER COMMENTS: “Although the 1350m start is a good start, the draw looks a little tricky so Larry is going to have to have his thinking cap on about where he puts her in the run. If she can relax and switch off, I believe her form is good enough to be up to a race like this and she should be hard to beat.”
