Redcliffe, Wednesday 30 October
RACE 1
ROCKNROLL TIMES (1) was impressive on return when battling away strongly for a placing at Marburg after sitting outside the leader. He has brilliant gate speed and looks the leader in this race. Should take plenty of catching.
ARNOLD STREET (9) ran into a distant second behind Kelloshiel who broke the track record. He is a fast horse and will be finishing off well with a nice run throughout.
MOUNT HERCULES (4) was able to lead at Marburg last start and was good enough to take that out.
WAR CLUB (6) is in brilliant form having closed off strongly his past few starts. He appears to be closing in on another win.
SELECTIONS: ROCKNROLL TIMES (1), ARNOLD STREET (9), MOUNT HERCULES (4), WAR CLUB (6)
SUGGESTED BET: ROCKNROLL TIMES (1) to win.
RACE 2
ILLBEWATCHING (8) got his ideal set up last start when driven quietly in the early stages. He was powering home late once clear. He should get a nice run through early here and will be hard to beat.
DONT FEAR FOR ME (1) will be looking to win a key early battle to hold out Mister Diamond who is very fast. He is a good front runner and if able to lead would be hard to catch.
ARKUNA (5) has been in very good form scoring in three of her past four starts and running second in the other. Draws a wide gate but looks one of the key players.
MULLUM DOC (4) trialled up well at Marburg recently. He is a very capable horse in this type of grade.
SELECTIONS: ILLBEWATCHING (8), DONT FEAR FOR ME (1), ARKUNA (5), MULLUM DOC (4)
SUGGESTED BET: ILLBEWATCHING (8) to win.
RACE 3
MIGHTY GEORGE (7) should secure a good run in this race and has been in good form. He made up great late ground last start from the back of the field.
FORGIVE ME (1) has gate speed and is a good leader. She lead last start over the 2040 and just tired late. A step back to the 1780 looks suitable and she gets the gate to dictate.
SMOOTH OVERARM (9) caught without cover last start and battled away reasonably. Think he is better suited saved up for one run at them which he may get the opportunity to do here.
MISSTREPO (6) is a consistent mare that has been in good form.
SELECTIONS: MIGHTY GEORGE (7), FORGIVE ME (1), SMOOTH OVERARM (9), MISSTREPO (6)
SUGGESTED BET: MIGHTY GEORGE (7) to win.
RACE 4
GOODTIME CRACKER (6) was forced to do the work last time out and battled away gamely to run a very close second. His start prior he just did things wrong at Albion Park and had run his race before they let them go.
MATAI REACTOR (5) is rarely far away having placed in his last three outings. He ran well again last start running on from the rear of the field.
BETTING BARON (3) has the key draw advantage on his main rivals. Does some of his best work when able to find the front.
SALS LAST BLAST (4) ran a good third last time out when making up good late ground.
SELECTIONS: GOODTIME CRACKER (6), MATAI REACTOR (5), BETTING BARON (3), SALS LAST BLAST (4)
SUGGESTED BET: BETTING BARON (3) to win.
RACE 5
MY LATIN LADY (9) lead last time and was able to control the race to score. Faces a more challenging draw this time but she does have good speed and could get the right run into it.
MONTEREY JACK (4) didn’t have much luck last time out when sitting 3 wide on the way home in a race that wasn’t run to suit. He battled away well there and this appears a suitable race.
HIGHLY RESPECTED (3) sat without cover last start and battled away well there at Marburg. Has been racing in good form.
EMMALEEN (8) didn’t make any impression last time out. Her form prior was really good and this appears a suitable race if she’s on her best behaviour.
SELECTIONS: MY LATIN LADY (9), MONTEREY JACK (4), HIGHLY RESPECTED (3), EMMALEEN (8)
SUGGESTED BET: MY LATIN LADY (9) to win.
RACE 6
FREELANCE DANCER (3) didn’t run on late last start at Marburg which can at times prove a tricky track for the 2YOs. Back to Redcliffe where she performed well two runs ago running into third.
CHARMAWAY (5) impressed two runs ago when running on strongly late. Loomed into it last start before tiring badly late to be beaten 30.7 metres. Can bounce back in this.
WHYKIKAMOOCOW (2) showed gate speed last start to lead. Appeared to have every chance there when just battling into a distant third.
THE SQUARE DANCER (9) is a horse with plenty of ability. She is yet to put everything together but if she does she will be hard to beat.
SELECTIONS: FREELANCE DANCER (3), CHARMAWAY (5), WHYKIKAMOOCOW (2), THE SQUARE DANCER (9)
SUGGESTED BET: CHARMAWAY (5) to win.
RACE 7
OTIS RISING (5) finished close up last start in a strong race behind The Masked Crusader. Wasn’t far out of the placings his start prior behind Air Express.
THE VIXEN (6) wasn’t beaten far last start in a fairly good mile rate for the 2040. She will need to navigate a wide draw.
TEAM SPORT (7) returned well last start running into fourth. He draws awkwardly in this.
ROLLING BONUS (3) faced the breeze two starts ago and tired to be beaten a long way. He didn’t have much luck last start when raced on the fence.
SELECTIONS: OTIS RISING (5), THE VIXEN (6), TEAM SPORT (7), ROLLING BONUS (3)
SUGGESTED BET: OTIS RISING (5) to win.
RACE 8
ALWAYS BE A TORQUE (2) was faced by a poor draw last start in a race they went very slow in the early stages. He was able to make solid ground in the later stages and this looks easier.
GOSLING IN FLIGHT (4) did plenty of work last time out and obtained a flat tyre which significantly hampered his chances. He looks to have found another suitable contest.
SAINT LOUIS BEAT (3) has gate speed and was able to lead in a stronger race last start.
ROLLONX (9) was able to lead last time out and was just run down in the final strides. He drops in grade and despite a poor draw he can figure.
SELECTIONS: ALWAYS BE A TORQUE (2), GOSLING IN FLIGHT (4), SAINT LOUIS BEAT (3), ROLLONX (9)
SUGGESTED BET: ALWAYS BE A TORQUE (2) to win.
