RACE FIVE
SOUTHERN ALPS (7) has plenty of convictions in recent starts, having made errors from both the stand start and the mobile. At his best, this is a race well within in reach, with his run 3 starts back showing he is up to the task if putting it together when he charged home to be 7m away. A risk, he is worth a chance.
JEDDY R YA READY (3) will appreciate moving to the front line here after coming from marks his past 2. A winner here 5 starts back from the front when settling in the pocket trail and using the passing lane to score, his past 2 runs to grab the silver have been full of merit and he can challenge in this.
NORTHERN MUSCLE (10) started fav last time out under mobile conditions and from gate 7 was sent to the breeze, fading in the closing stages. Only beaten a half-head in a tougher race 2 back, he has claims.
EL SWAVO (4) started from the 20m tape last start and was forced to work hard when circling to the breeze and carrying a flat tyre. He closed nicely for the silver 2 starts back and has podium hopes.
