RACE 6 

BLUE DRAGON (6) sat outside Impermissible last start when first up from a spell and put in an excellent run there. She draws widest this time outside the front row but given she showed she’s capable of doing the work in her races that should be no issue and she looks likely to go around a short priced favourite this time.

ESTER JEAN (1) hasn’t had a lot of favours in recent outings being shuffled back in strong races. She draws best in this race and last time she drew this gate she was able to score over the 2040 at this track. She can lead early before taking a trail on the favourite and has solid place claims from there. 

NEED NOT TO WARRY (2) has gate speed and draws favourably in this race. He worked forward last start and finished fourth in a race dominated by the runners on the pegs taken out by The Rizzler.

PADDYS DIAMOND (8) battled on well two starts ago after being forced to race without cover in a quickly run race for the grade. He backed that up with a good effort again last start when finishing fourth. He should get a good run through in this race and can be thereabouts. 

SELECTIONS: BLUE DRAGON (6), ESTER JEAN (1), NEED NOT TO WARRY (2), PADDYS DIAMOND (8)

SUGGESTED BET: PADDYS DIAMOND (8) to place.
