RACE EIGHT
BURMACH (2) pressed ahead to find the front from this gate last start and once in control took them all the way to claim a qualifying victory. Zipping home a nice closing 800m over the 2040m trip, it had followed a tough run in the breeze from gate 5. Taking control here, he can look to dictate.
SHOWEM SIMON (4) was looking to complete a hat-trick of victories last start when sent to the post as fav. Wide off the track from a 2nd line gate, he was 6m in arrears of the passing lane winner LOYOLA TRIOS. Too strong in the breeze 2 starts back, he will be right in the fight.
CHINOOK WINDS (1) sat in the pocket trail in a strong mares race here on Sat night and with the benefit of the cosy trip, held on for the bronze behind SAINT KILDA BEACH. With a similar trip, she can return a similar result.
JUST JOSHIN (6) has been banished to the ODM position after an early infringement last start when taking on a qualifier. Hitting the line strongly 2 starts back when a half-neck from the winner THE MONEY BALL, he can be chiming in here.
SELECTIONS: BURMACH (2), SHOWEM SIMON (4), CHINOOK WINDS (1), JUST JOSHIN (6)
SUGGESTED BET: BURMACH (2) to win
