RACE TWO
COUNTRY RUN (8) has the 2nd line to overcome and is still searching for his 1st Qld victory, but he looks to have found the right conditions here. Locked away from inside the 2nd line last start, his run 2 back was good when only grabbed in the closing stages by MISS MONEYBAGS. This looks ideal.
LA BELLE CHEVAL (4) led them up from gate 3 over this trip 3 starts back and was only grabbed in the closing stages to go under a head. Buried away at her next start when grabbing the bronze behind WHATA REACTOR, she wasn’t entirely comfortable last start. Spearing out early, she can challenge.
JAMES THE JET (7) set a strong tempo in front on debut against some more experienced rivals when fading late. Closing nicely last start after retreating early, he will be probing for space to chime in,
HOLLIE (3) eased back last start and was too far back in the pack to work into it. Showing early hustle prior to releasing the front from gate 1 the start prior, she has podium claims against these.
SELECTIONS: COUNTRY RUN (8), LA BELLE CHEVAL (4), JAMES THE JET (7), HOLLIE (3)
SUGGESTED BET: COUNTRY RUN (8) to win
