RACE TWO
FORTES IN FIDE (1) started from inside the 2nd line here 2 runs back and was searching for the gaps when 6m in deficit of the winner. Eased from gate 6 last start, he made a move and was then searching for short-cuts when running a smart closing 800m without getting a full crack at them. With the options, he gets his chance.
SPRINGFIELD SPIRIT (9) showed early hustle from gate 1 over the 2040m here last start before taking the trail on the speed. Darting back to the passing lane, he was a half-head in arrears of the winner. Looking to make late ground the start prior, this looks slightly easier than recent assignments.
FOUR FOR FOUR (4) resumes from a spell after being shut down following the 3YO features in the Summer Carnival. A fighting 3rd in the QBRED Fillies when only 2m away, she has trialled in nice fashion for the return.
VENUS JUJON (6) is stung by the six-hole here but is nearing another win after finishing as the runner-up in 4 of her past 6 appearances. Grabbed in the closing strides by NEARIS GREEN last time out, she can chime in.
SELECTIONS: FORTES IN FIDE (1), SPRINGFIELD SPIRIT (9), FOUR FOR FOUR (4), VENUS JUJON (6)
