RACE TWO
A winner at 3 of his past 5 starts, EYRE I GO (5) has thrived under the care of Chloe Butler. His past two wins at Redcliffe have been against the pacers, the latest where he had no right to win from the leaders back but mustered the momentum to arrive up the passing lane. Defeating TAM OSHANTER here 5 runs back, he should relish taking on his own gait.
VAN SANK (6) can be a hard horse to follow and he lines up here on an interrupted campaign with his last start back on November 13 when going off stride in the Trotters Cup claimed by SIR FAHRENHEIT. At his best he is up to this, but where he is at present is the conundrum.
IM THE COMMANDO (8) has the 2nd line options as the lone runner. Striking trouble in the Redcliffe Christmas Cup last start, he rounded them up here 3 starts back and will be right in the fight.
RIGONDEAUX (7) was a close-up 2nd at his first Qld appearance behind IM THE COMMANDO and followed that when making a starting error from the tapes. All 6 of his wins have been from the mobile.
SELECTIONS: EYRE I GO (5), VAN SANK (6), IM THE COMMANDO (8), RIGONDEAUX (7)
SUGGESTED BET: EYRE I GO (5) to win
