RACE EIGHT
OUR BALOU (8) will be requiring some factors in his favour but if he can spot the gaps and still have momentum, this looks firmly within reach. Eased in the early stages last start before trying to make a closing raid as OHOKA CHOPPER took the short-cuts, his previous start saw him strike trouble. He will be stalking them ready to strike.
HARPS (10) returns from a Tamworth campaign where he finished 4th in 2 appearances after starting from the 2nd line in each. Wide off the track last time in the Golden Guitar Consolation, it was a tidy effort and despite another tough alley can be making a challenge.
DIKERRY (6) is not helped by the tough gate, but he should find this a little easier than what he has been meeting in recent starts. Fading after being asked to sit parked last start, he can feature.
REGULUS (4) has finished at the rear in 2 starts since joining the Battle stable, the latest when fading as CALL ME KEITH claimed the cash. Fitter for the outing, he can be an improver.
SELECTIONS: OUR BALOU (8), HARPS (10), DIKERRY (6), REGULUS (4)
SUGGESTED BET: OUR BALOU (8) to win
