RACE TWO
MISS PAU (5) was a winner here two starts back when buried in the run and making strong meters in the closing stages to arrive late with a narrow margin. Tackling a much tougher contest last start, she can defy the wide gate in an open event where Ricky Gordon holds a strong hand with four runners.
MY ULTIMATE ROMEO (3) has faced the starter four times since returning to Qld off a spell and has produced a mixed bag. In a race that looks wide open, he can look to press forward and limiting any early burn can issue a challenge.
RISKY BUZINESS (8) scored a Marburg victory from inside the second line two starts back, finding space and pulling clear to a 5m margin. Buried last start, with the right early trail, he can feature.
SWINGING GEORGE (7) faded last start after working hard in the run made no easier by a flat tyre. Grabbing the bronze here three back from the fence, he will be probing the openings.
SELECTIONS: MISS PAU (5), MY ULTIMATE ROMEO (3), RISKY BUZINESS (8), SWINGING GEORGE (7)
