RACE EIGHT
NIMAH FRANCO (8) angled to the pegs from gate 3 last start to look for the short-cuts when resuming of a freshen. Chasing gamely behind the airborne KIWIS ARE FLYING, it was a tidy return. Placed in all 4 starts since arriving in Qld from across the Tasman, she can be coiled, ready to strike.
THE FORTUNATE SON (6) was stamped urgent off the arm last start to take control out in front. With the power on out in front, he as never in danger when bolting clear to claim a 20m victory in a new career PB of 1.52.4. The wide gate is a stinger, but likely to be in on the action, he can challenge.
MAN OF ACTION (4) has been in good touch since arriving in Qld and franked 2 close up 2nds when taking them all the way last start. Grabbed in the closing strides 1st up, he was a passing lane 2nd to SOHO TSUNAMI 2nd up. He is in the mix.
SOHO TSUNAMI (1) will take further benefit from his latest start when 2nd up from a spell. Returning with a strong win, the form from that race has held with 2nd and 3rd both subsequent winners. With the options he can capitalise.
SELECTIONS: NIMAH FRANCO (8), THE FORTUNATE SON (6), MAN OF ACTION (4), SOHO TSUNAMI (1)
