RACE FIVE
TRENT FROM PUNCHY (1) sat back and came with a strong finishing burst to claim victory here 5 starts back. In the 4 runs since, things haven’t really worked in his favour including some wider gates. Tough in the breeze here 2 starts back when 2m from the winner, he gets the options here.
SPLASH OF GOLD (8) will be hoping Trent looks to go all the way, with that scenario giving her every chance to wait for the passing lane and take the closing shot. Spearing out from gate 4 to find the front last start, she was only collared late over the 2138m. Look for her probing for the run.
NON PASSARE (2) was shooting for the hat-trick at Redcliffe 2 starts back after successive wins at the 1780m. Beaten by gate 6 when after the threepeat, he was tough last start from gate 5. The improved gate is a plus.
GOTTA MOMENT (10) has the lone pacing in 6 attempts on the track and despite the 2nd line, he might just find this a shade easier. Burnt in a sizzling opening panel last start, he can be thereabouts.
SELECTIONS: TRENT FROM PUNCHY (1), SPLASH OF GOLD (8), NON PASSARE (2), GOTTA MOMENT (10)
SUGGESTED BET: TRENT FROM PUNCHY (1) to win
