RACE THREE
AWAYOVERNIGHT (5) faced the second line last start over the AP mile when trying to wind up late but could not reel in the leader and winner MISTER WOODPORT. Given no favours here from gate 6 two starts back when sent forward then forced to retreat, this looks well within reach.
SUBTLE ADVICE (9) overcame gate 6 here three starts back, descending on them and pulling clear for a 7m margin with a further 15m back to 3rd. Down the line from fence trips at his past two, getting home wider out looks more beneficial here.
SMOKING ZAK (1) was returning from a spell last start when sent out fav from gate 2, leading them up and fading to a distance last. Taken back to the trials with a sharper effort, he can feature.
AROONA (3) has had two runs back from a spell, the latest when fading out after a fence trip from gate 4. Forgiving that effort when a number of horses struggled on the day, he can be thereabouts.
SELECTIONS: AWAYOVERNIGHT (5), SUBTLE ADVICE (9), SMOKING ZAK (1), AROONA (3)
SUGGESTED BET: AWAYOVERNIGHT (5) to win
