RACE SIX
A capacity field stand start will make the tactics and start manners all important here and throw in a mix of a few having their 1st start from the tapes and others bringing excellent stand manners. Prepared to take a risk on CLINTAL DO (2) who will be having his 1st look at the strands under race conditions. 6 of his past 7 mobile starts have been from the 2nd line where he has consistently been running home strong closing panels. Luckless last start, his Redcliffe record is strong and is worth a ticket at odds.
MO CASINO (1) has been in great touch since arriving in Qld and although having his 1st run on the triangle under race conditions, he has been able to win from the stand twice at his past 4 starts. Buried away in the Flashing Red he used the passing lane to grab the bronze and stepping cleanly is a big danger.
NORTHVIEW HUSTLER (10) came out swinging in the Mr Feelgood in what was being built up as the heavyweight battle of Albion Park. Staring down COLT THRITY ONE from the breeze, it didn’t go to plan and the white towel landed on the track at the 400m pole. Back to the stand conditions where he was the Flashing Red winner 4 starts ago, he will search for redemption.
LILAC FLASH (11) sat at the rear from a 2nd line alley in the Mr Feelgood and was attacking the line with venom when grabbing the silver behind COLT THIRTY ONE. With a perfect 5 from 5 record here on the triangle, he steps from the tapes for the 1st time and if doing it cleanly will be the swooper to watch.
SELECTIONS: CLINTAL DO (2), MO CASINO (1), NORTHVIEW HUSTLER (10), LILAC FLASH (11)
