RACE FOUR
RED CHARMER (8) will need some factors in her favour here, but with the chance that she can secure a cosy trip, she can be ready to make the closing play a winning one. Taken back from gate 6 last start, she was a long way back when running some slick closing panels to finish mid-field. Charging home the start prior, she will be probing for the gaps.
LEXUS ON THE BEACH (1) will be 2nd up since joining the Hayden Barnes stable and from this gate can look to use his early speed. Buried away from inside the 2nd line at Redcliffe last start, he was strong to the line behind JUMPING JOLT. Hustling hard, he can give this a shake.
MAYWYNS COURAGE (9) handed the lead over from gate 1 last start and soon found himself trying to find space behind tiring runners. Only a half-head away the start prior, look for him charging late.
SOME EXCUSESOMEWHERE (7) tried to dictate last start over the 2138m and with some even speed early, couldn’t see it out when fading to last. Despite the tough gate, back to the mile suits and he is a podium chance.
SELECTIONS: RED CHARMER (8), LEXUS ON THE BEACH (1), MAYWYNS COURAGE (9), SOME EXCUSESOMEWHERE (7)
