RACE 4 

ERASMUS (5) led two starts ago in a stronger race and faded into seventh but was beaten just 5.9 metres in an effort that would likely see him quite hard to beat in this race. He’s got brilliant gate speed and he will likely look to launch forward early in this race and if he finds the front he should be hard to beat.

COPY WRITER (4) will be doing her best work early to hold the advantage on Erasmus who is likely to be pressing forward at the start. She was luckless last start and ran a good race to finish second there behind Take Courage. This looks a bit tougher but she does draw well.

DOC HARVEY (2) will likely look to press forward and work past the out of form My Ultimate Louie in the early stages of the race and if he can find the rails his chances of earning will increase significantly. He hasn’t had much luck in recent starts.

COURAGEOUS LEO (9) bounced back two starts ago scoring when sitting leaders back and proving too good late. He should get a good run off the speed in this race and can be running on late. 

SELECTIONS: ERASMUS (5), COPY WRITER (4), DOC HARVEY (2), COURAGEOUS LEO (9)

SUGGESTED BET: ERASMUS (5) to win.
