LEOTA (7) is having no luck with barriers and cops the car park once again after starting from this same gate at his past two, and from 6 the start prior to that. Strong to the line after being forced to make two runs last week, he has two wins beyond a mile from four attempts and in a race where several of these face the trip for the first time, he can defy the gate.

FIGHT FOR VICTORY (5) is one of those facing the middle trip for the first time and will be second up from a spell here. Sent to the post as fav from gate 2 in a Breeders heat, he finished near the rear as PURE GRUNT prevailed. After two inconclusive trials leading into that return, he showed enough class last season that he can bounce back.

RED BULL BERNIE (8) was forced to sit parked in a 3YO Breeders heat and was game in defeat behind BARSBY. Fading out after a tough trip in the Final, a cosy run here will see him probing.

WICKED SUSAN (9) hit the line in nice order when resuming from a spell with a 3rd behind DUKE OF ARGYLL. Taken to Redcliffe for her past two starts, with the right trip, she can be chiming in.

SELECTIONS: FIGHT FOR VICTORY (5), LEOTA (7), RED BULL BERNIE (8), WICKED SUSAN (9)
SUGGESTED BET: LEOTA (7) to win
