RACE 2

DANGEROUS (1) led up a trial at Albion Park over the 1660 recently rating an unofficial track record time of 1.48.3 beating star stablemate Captains Mistress who we saw win so impressively in The Rising Sun. He had absolutely no luck when pushed right off the track in his latest start. He will need to secure good points in the final round of heats to nab a spot in the final having run eighth last start. He can lead all the way. 

FIGHTER COMMAND (2) has gate speed and will likely be looking for that prime position behind Dangerous if Ubetcha Tigerpie isn’t able to hold that spot. He was a terrific effort in his first heat coming from off the speed and scoring a dominant win over War Dan Buddy. If he can secure the right run he should earn good points again and looks a strong chance of making the final. 

NYACK (4) was one of the real surprises to come out of the first round of heats. He has always been a horse of high quality capable of running fast times but he made a statement when burning off the gate to lead before handing up to Leap To Fame and taking ground off him late. He draws the front row in this race and can press forward early again. 

UBETCHA TIGERPIE (8) walked off the gate last start and was double crossed before having to settle off the pegs and seemingly going a touch below his best when not running through the line as well as we know he can. He has an ideal draw inside back row following the favourite but there does have to be a query whether he can hold that position. 

SELECTIONS: DANGEROUS (1), FIGHTER COMMAND (2), NYACK (4), UBETCHA TIGERPIE (8)

SUGGESTED BET: DANGEROUS (1) to win.
