RACE TWO
COURAGEOUS SAM (1) should relish the opportunity to start from the good barrier after his manners have seen start from wider gates. A winner five starts back when pressing on to take control from gate 4, he has been back in the pack chasing in recent starts. He can dictate.
MONTEREY JACK (5) started from gate 1 last time and secured the soft trip in behind the speed when finishing 4m adrift of the winner ZARAS A TREASURE. Asked to do it the tough way two starts back from this same alley when holding on for 3rd, he might need to hang tough to challenge again.
TRACER BULLET (7) was sent forward to sit parked from gate 6 last time out and despite the tough tip was in for the fight when holding 3rd. With the soft trip, he can be probing for openings.
SHADYS CULLECT (2) has been runner-up at her past two starts, the latest when sent forward to graft it out first over and finishing just a lip short of victory. From this gate she can feature.
SELECTIONS: COURAGEOUS SAM (1), MONTEREY JACK (5), TRACER BULLET (7), SHADYS CULLECT (2)
SUGGESTED BET: COURAGEOUS SAM (1) to win
