RACE TEN
MAYBETOTHEMAX (6) found the position behind the leader from the mobile start here 3 runs back and chased gamely to take the bronze behind OUR OVERANOVA in a track record run. Last start he did some early work and battled gamely behind NEEDLE and with a safer getaway he can take this.
SOUTHERN ALPS (4) will be tightened from his return here last start when off the front line and claiming the silver behind OUR OVERANOVA. He moves to the 10m tape under these conditions and with handy figures around the triangle he can be right in the fight.
ASTRAL RULER (1) is shooting for the hat-trick after wins at the 2280m stand and the 2040m mobile. He worked hard in the run last start when forging clear to victory and will give a sight from this gate.
MELPARK ROYAL SON (3) made an error in the run 2 starts back and then last time under mobile conditions couldn’t get into the race with the strong up-front tempo. He can be sharper here.
SELECTIONS: MAYBETOTHEMAX (6), SOUTHERN ALPS (4), ASTRAL RULER (1), MELPARK ROYAL SON (3)
