Wet Track Concern for Guineas Favourite

Meanwhile, co-trainers Steve O'Dea and Matthew Hoystead are worried the recent downpour that pushed the Sunshine Coast track into the heavy range will hinder their Gr3 Winx Guineas runner Tumbler Ridge (Spill the Beans-Factor Fiction, by Untouchable) on Saturday, reports racingqueensland.com.au. "If the rain didn't come, I thought he was a great chance but there's more forecast which he doesn't like," Hoysted said. "He missed the kick on a shifty track but it was a great run to finish fourth against superior opposition in the Queensland Guineas. The Guineas form has stacked up very well and we gave him a short break after it and sent him to the beach before he won the Gold Jewel. I was a bit worried 1300 metres in the Gold Jewel would be too short but it was a super win on the back of a short freshen up. He ran a good race in the Coogny after he got a bit unbalanced on the home turn and he's looking for 1600 metres." The 3YO colt, who wasn't offered at public auction, has won four of his 16 starts and placed in five others.
