RACE TWO
Still searching for his first victory since arriving in Qld, HECTOR (1) looks to have found the right conditions to deliver. Beaten a head first-up from gate 7, he was sent for a spell after the second-up effort. Placed at his past 2 starts, the latest when sitting parked, the improved gate is a huge plus.
MERGE RIGHT (6) is a 2YO tackling this mixed age contest, bringing some consistent form with a top-3 finish at her past 5 in succession. Breaking the maiden with a gritty win on The Triangle 3 starts back, she has been runner-up her past 2 at the same track. This is tougher but she can challenge.
DELIGHTFUL LOU (8) is 1 from 1 after starting her career in ideal fashion when scoring in a 2YO event. Forced to dig deep for the win after making an error, she will take great experience.
MY BELLE AND ME (2) was having her first Qld start at Redcliffe on Thursday when starting fav and sent forward to take control. Fighting them off to claim the prize, this will be another step up.
SELECTIONS: HECTOR (1), MERGE RIGHT (6), DELIGHTFUL LOU (8), MY BELLE AND ME (2)
SUGGESTED BET: HECTOR (1) to win
