RACE TWO
Relying on some factors to fall in his favour and the gaps to open WHATA OPTIMIST (6) will enjoy the economical trip and just needs open road at the right time. A winner here two starts back when grafting it out from the breeze, he was buried last start and never got clear.
ELLE JAY (1) was sent to sit parked at Redcliffe last start from gate 6 and after a tough trip faded to be near the tail. Assess her chances from this gate off a pair of placings on this track at the previous two outings and from the good gate lands all the options to throw down the challenge.
TIMENPATIENCE (5) faces an ask from the outside paint, the same alley she started from two runs back when easing to the rear and never getting into the battle. With even luck she can place.
STUDLEIGH MARK (8) was 6m from the winner here last week which had followed a tough run when sitting parked. Hitting the board in his other three starts on this deck, he has podium claims.
SELECTIONS: WHATA OPTIMIST (6), ELLE JAY (1), TIMENPATIENCE (5), STUDLEIGH MARK (8)
SUGGESTED BET: WHATA OPTIMIST (6) to win
