RACE FOUR
FLAME LADY (7) has no favours from this alley but should appreciate this class of contest and after a freshen can look to strike. Never far from the action her record here at The Creek is superb with a top-3 in 12 of her 14 outings, the latest on Feb 9 when working hard over the 2138m. She can overcome the gate impediment.
COPPICE (2) was asked to roll the sleeves to race first over last start and after the tough trip was trying to rally in the stretch. With a sub 28 3rd panel taking some wind out of the sails, he held on for the bronze when 3m away. Grabbed in the last stride when leading 2 starts back, he can be gripping on in this.
FIRE ME UP (1) does not have the greatest numbers next to her name but in her 3 runs this campaign, not much has gone to plan. Doing work at some stage in all 3, she has the option for the cheap trip to make a closing play.
LANCELOT BROMAC (5) keeps on keeping on and will have his 400th start for Stew Dickson as his trainer. Closing out to be 4m in arrears last week, he can be making a closing play to find the podium in this.
SELECTIONS: FLAME LADY (7), COPPICE (2), FIRE ME UP (1), LANCELOT BROMAC (5)
