RACE SIX
PACIFIC DRUMS (6) was responsible for a big effort last week when sent around to the breeze in the early stages, he was then in for the fight and only went under a half-head in a blanket finish. Hitting the line strongly at his return, he will be fitter from the 2nd up run and has this within reach.
TROJAN BANNER (3) warms up for his Derby assault in this qualifier and will be looking to keep his undefeated Qld ledger in place. A winner at all 6 of his starts since arriving wit Al Barnes, he ripped home a strong 800m from the breeze last start at Redcliffe. A 3m winner over subsequent winner COOL SCOOTER, can see him give this a big shake.
LETS KATCHMEIFUCAN (10) arrives in Qld for NSW trainer Bernie Hewitt and has been in the money at 8 of his past 11. 6m from the handy UNTITLED last start, with the right trail he will be in the mix.
AIR TIME (8) is crying out to open his Qld account, having been placed when beaten 1.5m, a head and flared nostril in 3 starts. He will be needing some luck to find space, but if sighting gaps, he can charge home.
SELECTIONS: PACIFIC DRUMS (6), TROJAN BANNER (3), LETS KATCHMEIFUCAN (10), AIR TIME (8)
SUGGESTED BET: PACIFIC DRUMS (6) to win
