Last fling for the Stradbroke...A total of 39 noms are in for Sat's Grp 2 QTC Cup 1300m at Eagle Farm, the race which offers the last chance for many Stradbroke Handicap hopefuls to gain a start. The winner is exempt from the ballot for the Stradbroke. Top 3YO fillies Court and Ortensia are nominated. Both fillies were given a half-kilogram balloting allowance by Queensland Racing handicappers, meaning they will be treated as carrying 50kg for balloting purposes while actually carrying 49.5kg

The winner is exempt from the ballot for the Stradbroke. Top 3YO fillies Court and Ortensia are nominated. Both fillies were given a half-kilogram balloting allowance by Queensland Racing handicappers, meaning they will be treated as carrying 50kg for balloting purposes while actually carrying 49.5kg in the race. The decision to only allow the fillies a half-kilogram means they are still locked in a battle to make the Stradbroke Handicap field.
Let me in! Thirty of the 39 horses nominated for the QTC Cup are in line for the Stradbroke. Borderline cases Rightfully Yours, Chinchilla Rose, Wasted Emotions, Double Dare and Accardo need a win to secure a start.
