RACE EIGHT
SCOTCH EN ICE (7) eased from gate 6 to find position here last week, settling near the rear of the pack. With a solid tempo up front, he was strong to the line wide out after starting his charge from the 600m and arriving for stylish win. The gate is tougher again, but again with good up-front speed, look for him swooping.
RECIPE FOR DREAMING (1) was a winner here 4 runs back when swooping late to arrive over the 2138m trip. Working home over the top of them to claim victory from the 2nd line, the barriers have been his nemesis in the 3 runs since the win. Back to a good alley, he can use his early speed to challenge.
KING OF TRUMPS (6) had the tempo to suit last start at Redcliffe when making the closing charge a winning one to arrive by 2m. Taking his first look at The Creek for this assignment, he steps up in grade but looks up to the task.
ROYAL OBSESSION (10) started from this same gate last time out when sent around them early to get to the breeze. Grinding hard first over, he packed too much heat in claiming a half-head win. The gate stings again, but he is right up to it.
