RACE EIGHT
A tough race to close out the day where the 2138m will pose a query for a few of these. Yet to really display his best since arriving in Qld SAM IS PERFECTION (10) has still turned in some nice efforts and despite the sticky gate, might have found the right conditions. Striking trouble last start yet still within 8m of the winner, he can open his Sunshine State account in this.
MISTER HART (8) worked home in good order last start at Redcliffe when 4m from the winner over the 2040m trip. That followed a similar effort when finding the line nicely in the closing stages behind MIDNIGHT MAN. With a slice of luck in seeing space when needed, he can flash late here.
DONNY JONES (7) doesn’t have any favours from the outside of the line here, but has been close up in finishing with the bronze his past 2 starts. Working home nicely after retreating from this same gate last start, he is a podium hope.
GOES BOOM (2) went to the pegs last start at Redcliffe when not making much of an impression behind BEACH GODDESS. Settling handy to the action from this gate, he can be sharper in this.
SELECTIONS: SAM IS PERFECTION (10), MISTER HART (8), DONNY JONES (7), GOES BOOM (2)
