RACE FIVE
He lands the ace and with his best work looking to be when saved for a closing attack, TIN ROOF RAIDER (1) should secure the ideal run in transit to take the final shot. Starting in red figures last start, he was too powerful late in setting a new career benchmark which followed a slashing 2nd from the clouds when charging home. He looks to get the favours.
SABRAGE (4) has great speed out of the machine and can look to capitalise on that here. Lighting the lamps from the six-hole last start, it was TIN ROOF RAIDER that swept on by as the expense of a sub 27 opening panel took its toll. Nabbed by BEE GEES BANDIT the start prior, he will be gripping on.
OUR MAJOR DAY (8) looks set to be buried away in transit from this gate, the same scenario that he faced last start. Grabbed late after setting a strong tempo in the Redcliffe Christmas Cup, he will be probing for the gaps here.
SIR JULIAN (11) was taken off the arm from gate 7 last start to look for luck when attacking the line in the closing stages. Charging home to grab the silver behind BIG BANG LEONARD the start prior from this same gate, he can be finishing hard.
SELECTIONS: TIN ROOF RAIDER (1), SABRAGE (4), OUR MAJOR DAY (8), SIR JULIAN (11)
SUGGESTED BET: TIN ROOF RAIDER (1) to win
