Form Analysis: Redcliffe Jan 03

RACE ONE

THERESACHANCE (1) is staring down a hat-trick of victoried after overcoming gate 6 at the 2040 two starts back and following that with an all the way effort from this gate with 5m to spare. A strong conveyance when allowed to dictate, he has the gate to lead them up and look to see them out.

CHEETAH LODGE (7) was a winner from the pocket trail here three starts back when camped on the leader and rattling through the gap to take a 5m margin. Strong to the line over the latter stages last start after retreating from gate 6, he maps for the stalking trip here and will try to poach a victory.

DOCTA FEELGOOD (6) faces a tough ask from wide off the front, but he can bring some solid form credentials which includes finishing runner-up at his past two starts. He can be chiming in again.

MOTU CULLEN (5) is a last start winner after working forward from wide of the track to sit parked and pull away to score. A six-time winner on this deck, he can be thereabouts once again.

SELECTIONS: THERESACHANCE (1), CHEETAH LODGE (7), DOCTA FEELGOOD (6), MOTU CULLEN (5)
SUGGESTED BET: THERESACHANCE (1) to win

RACE TWO

DEVOUGED (3) was snagged off the arm from wide on the front last time and from deep field, never really warmed up behind JAY TEE TYRON. Chasing to be just outside the money behind the in-form THERESACHANCE two starts back, he has the gate to make his presence felt.

SUNNY COVE (6) has no favours from the outside paint, the same alley he faced last start and faded out to the rear. Sent to the front two starts back, he was keen in front and fought gamely when just a neck astern of the winner. His challenging chances hinge on finding cheap position and relaxing.

MISTER COLE (1) has slowly worked his way back to some sharper performances, the latest when eased from gate 6 and picking a few off late over the closing stages. The gate is a huge help.

BOLD COWBOY (4) was sent forward to sit parked last start and after a tough trip was unable to go on with it, just missing the minors. Limiting the burn will be key to his chances.

SELECTIONS: DEVOUGED (3), SUNNY COVE (6), MISTER COLE (1), BOLD COWBOY (4)
SUGGESTED BET: DEVOUGED (3) to win

RACE THREE

AQUA CRUISER (3) tackled the AP mile last start when securing the 1x1 trail and chasing home for the bronze behind the smart looking OUR INDIFFERENCE. A gritty second here three starts back when beaten a head, he has the gate to get handy to the action to stake a claim.

MONTEREY JACK (6) has been super consistent and lines up here after placings at his past three in succession. A tough effort last start when parked and 3m from TACTFILLY MIRACLE, he was just a neck away two starts back when wide off the track. He can defy the gate to challenge.

CANDYKANE (7) will take further benefit from her latest appearance when second up from a spell. Trying to make a late raid from outside the second line, she will be probing for openings here.

KULANI COURAGE (5) made the most of gate 1 to take them all the way two starts back and claiming a 3m margin. 4m from the winner after sitting parked last start, he can feature again here.

SELECTIONS: AQUA CRUISER (3), MONTEREY JACK (6), CANDYKANE (7), KULANI COURAGE (5)
SUGGESTED BET: AQUA CRUISER (3) to win

RACE FOUR

ROSARITO (1) showed some early hustle last start over this trip and was able to secure the 1x1 trail when holding on for the bronze behind BERTILS FIREFOX. Not far away three starts back from gate 3, he snares the gate to settle handy to the action and with the options can cash in.

VODKA EN ICE (8) settled in the running line from three the second line last start and was making a late raid when 2m from the winner. Doing some work before finding cover two starts back, with three runs since resuming from a spell, he can trial through early to issue a challenge.

BERTILS FIREFOX (9) settled with running line cover last start and when produced had the closing speed to claim a 5m margin. Never far away, with a cart into the contest, he can feature.

FEELING THE POWER (2) overcame a second line gate last start when powering home over the top to claim a 4m margin. Runner-up three starts back, the improved gate is a huge plus to his chances.

RACE FIVE

STARS OF AMERICA (2) has been hampered by bad alleys in recent starts, his past three from the second line. Too far back in each of those, he showed some early hustle at HQ four runs back when chasing. From this gate against this opposition, he looks to have found the right set up.

SCHOOBY (4) rolled forward from outside the front-line last start and taking control was trying to fight them off when fading to a midfield finish. Despite the tricky gate, he can get forward to issue a challenge.

AROONA (5) held on for the bronze two starts back when resuming from a spell. Despite a wide gate, he can be chiming in here to chase some minor money.

FEEL THE THRILL (8) looks set to enjoy the prefect trail in the early stages. Trying to fight them off from the front last start, the right trip can see him in the mix.

SELECTIONS: STARS OF AMERICA (2), SCHOOBY (4), AROONA (5), FEEL THE THRILL (8)
SUGGESTED BET: STARS OF AMERICA (2) to win

RACE SIX

ROCK SUPREME (3) faced an inside second line gate at HQ last start when using inside runs to be 5m from the winner WINDY HILL WALLY and just miss the money. Asked to hang tough when parked the start prior, he can force the issue here and looks to have found the conditions to capitalise.

REASON TO BE (1) boasts a tidy record on this deck and secures the right gate to be tucked away and saved for a closing shot. Not suited when exposed and working early before receiving cover, not much has been in his favour in recent starts. The gate can be the catalyst to turn things around.

MOSSDALE TERRY (4) takes his first look at The Triangle and comes into this with form around stronger opposition. Just 2m from ARODA two starts back, he can chase his first Aus victory.

MACH DADDY (8) darted home along the passing lane to score here two starts back and followed that with the bronze when 3m from the winner BETTERTHAN POPSY. He has podium claims again.

SELECTIONS: ROCK SUPREME (3), REASON TO BE (1), MOSSDALE TERRY (4), MACH DADDY (8)
SUGGESTED BET: ROCK SUPREME (3) to win

RACE SEVEN

NAUTIE GALVINATOR (7) will take further benefit from his latest outing when second up from a spell. Spearing out from gate 6 to lead over the AP mile, he led until deep stretch, only fading late when under 4m from the winner. With the second line options, he can capitalise here.

ASH AND JO (3) was returning from a long spell last time out when striking trouble and being banished to the trials. Earning the return ticket with a sharp piece of work, she finds the right gate to press forward to issue a challenge second up.

HOLLYWOODBOUND (1) has been a model of consistency with four placings from her past five starts. A tough effort when moving around to sit parked two starts back, this gate is a huge asset.

ARKUNA (4) was beaten a head on debut and bettered that second up when breaking maiden ranks with a gritty victory. She finds the right type of contest to chase a win early in the season.

SELECTIONS: NAUTIE GALVINATOR (7), ASH AND JO (3), HOLLYWOODBOUND (1), ARKUNA (4)

RACE EIGHT

CALL ME TRISH (5) faces the tricky gate but might just have the edge to put this opposition away. A winner here three starts back when finishing over the top of them from the 1x1 trail, she has faced second line barriers at her past two starts. Back to the up to NR40 grade, she can cash in.

BETTING BARON (9) has been runner-up at his past two starts, the latest when spearing across from gate 6 and looking to see it out in front. Collared in the last strides when just a neck from the winner, he was beaten a nostril the start prior and can throw it down once again here.

IT AINT ROYAL (8) grabbed the bronze last start when 3m from the winner DOOLITTLE DAYS when trying to make a late raid from a second line gate. With another tricky alley, he can be thereabouts.

JAMAICIAN RESORT (2) forced the issue last start to take control and from the front, nearly held on when under 4m from the winner. He has the gate to get forward once again.
