RACE THREE
JOHNSON STEP (4) has only had the one run in Queensland since arriving from New South Wales. That run was here last Saturday where he wasn’t disgraced from gate 7. He had some solid Newcastle and Menangle form on the board before arriving here. With the better draw this time around he can be an improver and is worthy of a wager.
SCOTCH EN ICE (8) receives a perfect trailing draw here. Last time out he was asked to do some work early in the race and just couldn’t finish off. That race was harder. With an economical trip on the cards, he can be sprinting hard when the gaps open.
BRIAN CHRISTOPHER (7) produced a solid performance here behind Swayzee last time out in good time from a trailing draw. Although he is drawn the outside of the front row, he will most likely be taken off the gate and with luck can place.
LADY AVANA (1) has been going better than her form suggests. She scores the right draw here and can be in the placings.
SUGGESTED BET: JOHNSON STEP (3) each way
