RACE FIVE
BRIDGET BLUE CHIP (5) will be having her 1st look at the Peninsula Paceway as she looks to continue her solid form of late. A winner in mares company 5 starts back when closing out strongly to take a 2m victory, she has placed in all 4 starts since that win, the past 2 when beaten a head on each occasion behind SIR JULIAN and SPEECH IS SILVER. The gate stings, but she looms.
OUR LITTLE DIGGER (7) has placed at his past 2 starts, the latest on Tuesday. Angled to the pegs over the AP mile, he was soon buried 4 back against the pegs, with the gaps opening as they straightened, he charged home to be 1.5m in arrears. Relying on some luck from this gate, he will be looking for the lane.
SAM IS PERFECTION (4) tried to capitalise on SPEECH IS SILVER being locked away last start and swooping hard down the outside, looked to land the upset, only to be nabbed right on the wire. Another having his 1st look at this track, he can feature.
KURAHAUPO GAMBLER (1) set the tempo over the 2138m last start from gate 3 and led them deep into the stretch, nabbed in the closing stages. From the gate he can look to fight them off.
SELECTIONS: BRIDGET BLUE CHIP (5), OUR LITTLE DIGGER (7), SAM IS PERFECTION (4), KURAHAUPO GAMBLER (1)
