RACE FOUR
SOME EXCUSESOMEWHERE (10) was seen chasing for the first time after doing work out in front at his 3 previous Aus starts. Banished to the outside after a starting error, the way he closed out was a stylish effort, sprinting clear to a 19m victory in strong sectionals. He can power home again here.
BIG BRUCE (2) took on a conditioned race here 2 starts back and after having a dip for the front was doing all the work in the run when proving too strong. He then finished 1.5m from THE IDES OF MARCH in a qualifier and with the speed to take control will be fighting hard.
GOD SAKE (1) will take further benefit from his latest start when 2nd up from a 12 month break and finishing strongly to score over the mile. With the options from the gate he will be right in the fight.
MANDY KRIDEN (6) has been runner-up in successive mare only events when beaten a half-neck and 2m. They followed a hat-trick of victories and with the speed on look for the grey mare swooping hard.
