RACE SEVEN
The race had a false dawn last year that saw its cancellation but the horizon is dripping in gold in 2021 as The Rising Sun will bathe The Creek in shining light. Undefeated on this track, EXPENSIVE EGO (9) has been defeated once at his past 7 starts, that being at the hooves of KING OF SWING in the Miracle Mile. Despite the gate, he looks mighty hard to hold out.
KRUG (1) holds many of the keys to unlock the treasure chest of cash on offer for this race. Will he lead? Will he hand up and retake? Will he take a sit? One thing is for certain, off the back of his demolition of the 3YOs in the Redcliffe Derby, he will be throwing down an enormous challenge in this. Can a star 3YO beat a star 4YO, this race will answer that question.
BLACKSADANCE (8) pressed forward from gate 5 to take control last start and after working hard to get there continued to duke it out, making EXPENSIVE EGO earn the victory at the mile in a rate that was quicker than the WONDAIS MATE. With a cosy trip, he looks good value to place.
COPY THAT (13) produced one of the most scintillating closing 100m seen at The Creek when right lined at right angles and like a shot out of a cannon charged home to score in the Wondais Mate FFA. Does he wait for one closing shot or try to work into it mid-race. What a cracker this race shapes as.
SELECTIONS: EXPENSIVE EGO (9), KRUG (1), BLACKSADANCE (8), COPY THAT (13)
