RACE SIX
This race shapes as a great battle with differing form-lines merging together and likely some big prices for horses that are a legitimate chance. While he will need some factors in his favour, CLARKEY (8) will get a soft run in transit and following a lethal beginner, should get the ideal trip. 7m away last week when chasing hard, his previous 2 didn’t suit and approaching full fitness after 4 runs back from a break, can take the inside line to arrive.
ALWAYS IN COMMAND (3) has raced at The Creek on 5 previous occasions with his best result a solitary 3rd. However, he shoots for 6 wins in succession here after claiming 5 on the bounce on The Triangle, the latest a new track record when powering to the prize. He gets his chance from the gate.
DREAM TO SHARE (12) started from gate 10 last start at Redcliffe and was strong to the line from a long way back, 6m in arrears of FIOKI. Winning 3 of his previous 4 starts, he will be chiming in late.
MATTGREGOR (11) faces the sticky gate here and although he is racing consistently, his wins have been spaced. Beaten no more than a neck at his past 3, he will make his presence felt despite the 11.
SELECTIONS: CLARKEY (8), ALWAYS IN COMMAND (3), DREAM TO SHARE (12), MATTGREGOR (11)
SUGGESTED BET: CLARKEY (8) to win
