RACE THREE
After following him in recent weeks and proving costly, has TACTICAL RESPONSE (2) finally landed his race to breakthrough. Runner-up at his past 2 attempts, he released last start over the 2138m after finding the front early and then holding 2nd to LETS KATCHMEIFUCAN. Only beaten a head the start prior after doing it the tough way when racing first over, he looks to get every hope.
STRADDIE (9) shoots for the hat-trick after successive wins, the latest when leading throughout and cruising home to an easy 7m victory. That followed a swooping win at the mile in the Bill Dixon after settling rearward from the 2nd line. With even luck in transit, he can be ready to arrive over the top.
LITTLE BOLT (3) held a forward spot from gate 2 last start and when asked for the effort had bullets to fire in arriving for a tidy win. His effort 2 starts back in the 4YO Championships was full of merit and he will not be far away here.
SO KOOL MASTER (1) was closing in good order behind ARTHUR LOWE last start and that followed a 3rd behind LENNY THE LEGEND. With the economical trip against the poles, he can be ready to make a closing play.
SELECTIONS: TACTICAL RESPONSE (2), STRADDIE (9), LITTLE BOLT (3), SO KOOL MASTER (1)
SUGGESTED BET: TACTICAL RESPONSE (2) to win
