RACE NINE
RIVERLEIGH JEFF (8) made the most of gate 1 here 2 starts back when protecting the pegs, he was then able to take them all the way. Locked away from inside the 2nd line in a 2nd division qualifier last start, he was facing a task with a solid closing 800m set in front. The gate hurts but he can overcome the impediment.
WILL BE DOC (3) arrives from NSW and joins the consistent Mark Rees barn. Last seen in a slick mile at Penrith when working home strongly from the 2nd line, the returns have not matched his efforts of late. Appreciating this class of opponent from his best gate for some time, he can strike here.
DONNY JONES (2) has placed in 3 of 6 outings here at Marburg but is still yet to taste success. Luckless here 2 starts back when looking for gaps, he wasn’t far away last start and is in the mix.
COLOMBIAN GOLD (1) was locked away on the pegs last start when taking on a strong line-up in slick time at Redcliffe. With good speed out of the machine, she will be gripping on.
SELECTIONS: RIVERLEIGH JEFF (8), WILL BE DOC (3), DONNY JONES (2), COLOMBIAN GOLD (1)
SUGGESTED BET: RIVERLEIGH JEFF (8) to win
