RACE 4

MINOS (11) was a huge effort last time out when burning around the field mid race to take it up and was only run down by Bay Of Biscay who is a good horse in his own right and was able to secure a much more economical run in the race. He draws the back row again in this race but does find a field with less depth than the one he took on last start. He appears a horse that looks set to play a big part in the Inter Dominion Final if his unfortunate run with barrier draws turns around. 

TIGER BAND WAGON (1) put in a great run last start in the first round of Inter Dominion Heats when working off the gate early before being shuffled back and running on well late. He was quite easily able to beat one of his key rivals in this race Captains Knock who had done no work at all in the run and raced on the pegs. He has the gate speed to dictate early and looks a big chance of figuring in the finish. 

CHEERSTOLOU (7) is one of the quickest horses off the gate in the state of QLD and despite the draw he may look to launch forward and find a prominent position given he will be desperate to gather crucial points having finished fourth in the first round of heats. He was desperately unlucky last start when finishing fourth running up behind them appearing to travel easily with plenty left in reserve running through the line late. 

DASHING (8) was excellent last start in the first round of heats when getting back before running on powerfully late wide on the track into sixth behind Bay Of Biscay. He draws to do no work in this race inside the back row behind a gate speed horse and appears to have genuine each way claims if the runs come at the right time for this horse. 

SELECTIONS: MINOS (11), TIGER BAND WAGON (1), CHEERSTOLOU (7), DASHING (8)
