RACE FIVE
In a race where there looks to be some solid front-line speed, the airborne STAR OF MONTANA (3) will settle nice and handy from this gate. A winner of his past 4 in succession, he attacked the line strongly off a hot tempo last start to set a new career PB. He can swoop hard to score again here.
CHANGE OF MIND (6) will take benefit from his latest run when 2nd up for the Turpin barn. Pressing on to find the front from gate 3, the speed was on all the way as he held on for a narrow victory. With the added fitness he can look to get across early and if finding the pegs will take some catching.
STOMPEM (2) is in nice touch, finishing in the money at his past 5 in succession including a win 3 starts back. Things didn’t really go as hoped last start, yet he was fighting hard behind GUNRNEEDABIGRBOAT. He is in the mix.
HOT ROD HEAVEN (1) was crossed in the early stages last start from this same gate, finding himself buried along the pegs. Finding the line in good order when 4m in arrears in sharp time, he won’t be far away.
SELECTIONS: STAR OF MONTANA (3), CHANGE OF MIND (6), STOMPEM (2), HOT ROD HEAVEN (1)
