RACE SIX
An intriguing FFA this week with the barrier draw making the early tactics to find position a keen watch early. Kept away from Redcliffe in recent weeks, big HUGHIE GREEN (3) has been ticking over nicely in his previous outings. He found the line nicely when only 2m in arrears of ELENIARK and with the chance to find a handy spot in this, he might just sneak away with a win.
MATTGREGOR (4) will be driven by Pete McMullen, with a lead into the chances of this fellow perhaps, as he forgoes the drive in GLENFERRIE HOOD. Runner-up at his past 2 starts, he charged home from a long way back last tie to be within a neck. He can get forward here to prove the test.
MACH ALERT (1) lands his best gate for some time and with the peg-line benefits will come options. Over the 2138m will he release or will he hold. Game in the breeze last start, either in the van or the trail he will be in the fight.
GLENFERRIE HOOD (8) will be 3rd up but has been kept away from Redcliffe the past 2 weeks. Strong when wide off the track last start and only 3m from the winner, he will be away from the pegs early and won’t be far away.
SELECTIONS: HUGHIE GREEN (3), MATTGREGOR (4), MACH ALERT (1), GLENFERRIE HOOD (8)
SUGGESTED BET: HUGHIE GREEN (3) win/place
