RACE TEN
Not much went in his favour in the Patrons Purse but CRUNCH TIME (4) will land the opportunity to bounce back here. At his best when rolling out in front, he was buried last start yet was still finishing strongly. A big winner when power running a 1.51.6 mile in front at The Creek 2 starts back, he smashed the clock as a 3YO from the front here last season and this looks ripe for a repeat.
LIFES BLACK (1) comes up with the right gate and with the early speed can look to secure the economical trip behind the speed. A winner here 3 starts back when firing off the arm and taking them all the way, he has not really been suited at his past 2 starts. The gate gives him a chance.
YOUNG CONQUEROR (2) was having his first appearance in Qld when tackling a Cup warm-up from the tapes. Using the passing lane to grab 3rd behind CLINTAL DO. He can tuck in here to place.
GOOD AS IT GETS (3) has 3 wins and a pair of 2nds in his half-dozen outings here at Redcliffe. Chasing gamely to hold 3rd behind SPIRIT OF ST LOUIS last start, he can be close enough to find the minors again.
SELECTIONS: CRUNCH TIME (4), LIFES BLACK (1), YOUNG CONQUEROR (2), GOOD AS IT GETS (3)
SUGGESTED BET: Exotics 4 / 1-2-3-7-8
