chasing a return to some winning form. Strong to the line last start when 3m from the winner SCRUFFY, he was runner-up to that same winner three starts back. This is within reach.

SWEET AGENDA (7) was first up for the new barn last start when settling in the pocket trail from the inside second line gate. Unable to reel in the winner ROCKSNGEMS over the closing strides, she faces a tough ask from this gate but with early speed can secure a challenging position.

HES SWEET (1) has the mapping favours from the inside gate and last start tried to take them all the way at Redcliffe. Holding 3rd the start prior, he can use the inside to chase a podium again.

DENVER COLORADO (8) should appreciate a fence trip this gate will provide after struggling to make ground wide out in recent starts. He will be probing for the openings.

SELECTIONS: HOT ROD HARRY (6), SWEET AGENDA (7), HES SWEET (1), DENVER COLORADO (8)
SUGGESTED BET: HOT ROD HARRY (6) to win

Although he has rarely converted opportunities here at HQ, DOCTA FEELGOOD (5) finds the ideal conditions to do so here. Exposed early before receiving cover last start over 2040, three back he was reeled in late after setting the tempo and finishing 3m astern. He can capitalise.

ART JESTER (1) was a Redcliffe winner three starts back when fired off the arm to set the speed and pull clear late to take a 7m margin and break a long win drought. Not suited trying to make ground at Marburg last time, he secures all the options here to throw it down.

ROCKTIME (6) is given no favours from the wider gate but positioning cheaply can see him in the mix. Scoring at Marburg three starts back in tough fashion, he is a podium player here.

BLING THE NOISE (2) scored a gritty win at Redcliffe two starts back when sent around to the breeze and grinding out the W. Striking trouble last start, he can bounce back into the money.

SUGGESTED BET: DOCTA FEELGOOD (5) to win

DOOLITTLE DOOZZIE (1) was making a late play last start when missing the money but under 5m from the winner GIDUP CAPTAIN. Burrowing through from the inside gate on The Triangle to take them all the way three starts back, she secures the options here to stake claim.

AZOR AHAI (6) loomed at Redcliffe last time out but just peaked in the closing stages when finishing 3rd and 5m astern of the winner. Unable to pick them up via the passing lane the start prior, he finds the set up right here, but like most in this line up, will find 2138 a slogging go.

MISS HATTIE (8) had the closing speed to descend on them last time out at Redcliffe, finishing best to take victory. Making a late raid the start prior, she will be searching for a way clear.
JIMMY BLING (5) was forced to sit parked two starts back at Marburg and was game in defeat when holding on for 2nd. Setting the tempo over this trip last start, he can get forward to feature.

SELECTIONS: DOOLITTLE DOOZZIE (1), AZOR AHAI (6), MISS HATTIE (8), JIMMY BLING (5)
SUGGESTED BET:

With some disappointing figure form against her name in recent starts, MERRY JEWEL (1) snares the gate to turn it all around. Setting the tempo last start in a second division mare’s qualifier before fading. With all the options from this gate, she can cash in.

ZAC DANIELS (6) has been runner-up at his past three starts, the latest when sitting parked and finishing 4m form the winner VINNIE NITRO. Darting through on the passing lane two back behind OUR LUCY LOU, he can challenge despite the wide gate.

STUDLEIGH MARK (7) will back up from Friday night where he tackled a stronger line up than what he will face here. Grabbing the bronze in both prior starts, he is a podium player again.

CAPTAIN NEMO (8) was beaten by a wide second line gate last start when unable to get warm over the closing stages. Fading after working early the start prior, he is right up to them here.

SELECTIONS: MERRY JEWEL (1), ZAC DANIELS (6), STUDLEIGH MARK (7), CAPTAIN NEMO (8)
SUGGESTED BET: Exotics 1-6-7-8

KEAYANG TARA (4) was buried away against the markers at Redcliffe two starts back and when finding space was eating into the deficit to grab the silver. Only 3m form the winner at Marburg the start prior to that, her latest effort was solid enough to suggest that this is within reach.

MY ULTIMATE RUDI (6) was a Redcliffe winner four starts back when finding the pocket trail and with the ideal trip, took his chance when the gap presented to claim a narrow victory. Buried at Marburg two starts back when 3rd, he faces a tough gate here but with even luck can challenge.

JIMMY JOYCE (5) made the most of conditions to take control here four starts back and from the front took the prize. Unplaced in all three since from poor barriers, he can look to bounce back.

ERASMUS (3) made the most of his chance in setting the tempo last time out and from the front fought off the challengers with a narrow victory. He can get forward in a stronger event.

SUGGESTED BET: KEAYANG TARA (4) to win

Many of these are backing up from last Thursday at Redcliffe including MIGHTY CRUNCH (9) which was making a late raid wide on the track. A winner three starts back when pressing forward to take control and pull clear late, he finds the right opposition to capitalise.

RANGER RON (1) resumed from a spell with a dictating win to break maiden ranks here three starts back, posting an 11m margin. Meeting much tougher opposition at his past two starts, a return to this grade and with the benefit of the inside gate, can look to challenge.

PINKCHAMPAGNE (6) is afforded no favours from the wide gate but has been able to grab placings in her past two. Holding the bronze from the trail last start, she can chime in again.

WHATA GOOD FEELING (2) backs up from Redcliffe last Thursday and has now been to the track four times this campaign. She can settle handy enough to chase minor money here.

 SELECTIONS: MIGHTY CRUNCH (9), RANGER RON (1), PINKCHAMPAGNE (6), WHATA GOOD FEELING (2)
SUGGESTED BET: MIGHTY CRUNCH (9) to win

Backing up from a last start victory at Redcliffe, ROCKNROLL DA GAMA (8) will have early options as the lone runner off the second line. Buried away last time, when finding space, he had the closing speed to reel them in and take a margin. He finds another winnable contest.

SHADYS DELIGHT (6) has been in consistent touch with placings in four of his past five starts. Making a wide run to be 3m from the winner last start, two runs back he was buried from inside the second line at Marburg when grabbing 3rd. Despite an awkward gate, he can challenge here.

GHOST TRAIN (3) forced the issue last start at Redcliffe and was trying to repel the challengers in the closing stages but had to settle for the bronze. With good early hustle, he can feature.

DOWNTOWN MANHATTAN (2) has yet to land a win on this deck from 19 previous attempts and while this may not be the race to change those figures, with the right trip, he is a podium hope.
