RACE SIX
ALWAYS IN COMMAND (6) will find this more to his liking after being given his chance last start in the Be Good Johnny Sprint. Facing a tough draw with plenty of speed underneath, he retreated and then was just too far back. Winning his previous 7 in succession, 5 of those here on the triangle including a 1780m track record, he can bounce back with a bang.
OUR MAJOR DAY (2) led them up last start over the AP mile and after being stared down in front, ran the opening 800m in a sizzling 56.5 sec. Followed with a sun 28 3rd panel, he felt the effects and faded out. Banished to the trials, he earns the ticket back after a sharp trial here in good time when never asked to extend and will give them something to chase.
RED CHARMER (1) has a perfect record here at the Peninsula with 2 from 2 and from the ace gate has claims to keep it that way. Not far from BODHI TREE last start, she will be locked and loaded ready for the closing shot.
ALE ALE KAI (8) steps up in class here, but with the right run in transit can be swooping home in the latter staged. 3m in arrears when holding 3rd in a mares qualifier last start, she can close strongly here.
SELECTIONS: ALWAYS IN COMMAND (6), OUR MAJOR DAY (2), RED CHARMER (1), ALE ALE KAI (8)
SUGGESTED BET: ALWAYS IN COMMAND (6) to win
