RACE NINE
Making his Qld debut from gate 7 in the prelude for this Final, MY ULTIMATE JACKO (1) slid across to find the 1x1 trail in transit. Aiming up to take his shot, he was able to keep driving and arrive for a half-head margin. The margin of 18m back to 3rd told the tale and with the big gate improvement, he is all but home.
HEZA GALVINATOR (8) showed the early hustle to set the speed in the prelude but tapped out as they swung for home. Only collared in the closing strides when on debut over the Redcliffe 1780m, he steps out at The Triangle on Thursday. With the cosy trip available, he will attempt a challenge.
RISE ABOVE ALL (5) grafted out a determined win on debut at Redcliffe where he was able to sit parked and hold on for a narrow margin. Doing all the heavy lifting before being nailed on the wire by MY ULTIMATE JACKO, he is right in the fight.
KERBANG (2) was banished to the trials despite his 3rd placing in the prelude after making an error in the run. Earning the return ticket, he can settle close enough to the action to fill the exotics.
SELECTIONS: MY ULTIMATE JACKO (1), HEZA GALVINATOR (8), RISE ABOVE ALL (5), KERBANG (2)
