RACE EIGHT
BANGKOK BRAVADO (5) faces a sticky gate here and the map could make it a little difficult but that said, he may just have found suitable conditions for an overdue breakthrough. Best of the chasers behind the in-form COPPERFIELD 2 starts back, he was too far back to chase after retreating from gate 6 last start. Is worth a chance.
STORM GILBERT (2) has not missed the board at his past 7 outings but will need to step it up here to continue that streak. An easy leader off the ace over the Redcliffe 1780m last start, he cruised home in a strong closing 800m to hold on. With the good gate he will be there for the challenge.
COBBLER LANE (9) found conditions to suit here on Monday when powering home over the top to land victory by a neck. A passing lane 2nd to STORM GILBERT the start prior, he will be chiming in .
DAPPER BESSIE (8) will need a slice of luck to see some space in time, but if the track opens, she can be chiming in. Clashing against her strong stablemates in mares qualifiers at her past 2, she will be probing for openings.
SELECTIONS: BANGKOK BRAVADO (5), STORM GILBERT (2), COBBLER LANE (9), DAPPER BESSIE (8)
SUGGESTED BET: BANGKOK BRAVADO (5) each-way
