RACE NINE
NIFTY STUDLEIGH (1) has placed at 3 of his past 4 starts with the effort here 2 starts back suggesting a win is not far away. Doing plenty of work in the run from gate 6 he was in for the fight when within 3m of the winner JOVIAL JULIE. With his best gate for some time, he can hustle early and dictate.
SPECIAL RESERVE (2) is a consistent filly and has been in the money at 7 of her 8 appearances this season. Starting a short-priced fav last start over the sprint trip at Redcliffe, she was grabbed late and beaten 2m behind JOVIAL JULIE. Freshened since that outing, she has early options here.
MOLLYS SECRET (7) receives no favours from the wide gate, yet will be fitter following 1 run back from a break. Only beaten 2m, the run had merit under the circumstances and she can feature.
CHANCELESS CENTURY (6) has just the 2 career starts to his name, having placed in both. Finding the pocket trail from gate 4 last start, he hit the line nicely when 4m in arrears. He can place again here.
SELECTIONS: NIFTY STUDLEIGH (1), SPECIAL RESERVE (2), MOLLYS SECRET (7), CHANCELESS CENTURY (6)
SUGGESTED BET: NIFTY STUDLEIGH (1) to win
