Form Analysis: Redcliffe Aug 23

RACE ONE

ROCK NIEN (6) faces another tough gate, but he has been racing in top order from similar gates in recent starts. Sent to sit parked from gate 5 last start, he kept grinding it out when runner-up to subsequent winner LITTLE CHANGE. Despite the gate, he is up to the task.

JAY TEE TYRON (2) started from inside the second line last time out and from the pocket trail took the closing shot up the passing lane to get within an eyelash of victory. Collared late by the in-form ZOOM PARTY when setting the tempo here three runs back, he can get forward to throw it down.

SMIRKS LIKA BOSS (9) opened fav here last start but drifted markedly before finishing down the line at his first run in over a month. With just one previous attempt beyond 2000m, he cannot be overlooked.

LULU LUCIFER (1) started from inside the second line last time out and with a gap arriving sooner could have been closer than the 8m margin. With a soft trip behind the speed, she can chime in.

SELECTIONS: ROCK NIEN (6), JAY TEE TYRON (2), SMIRKS LIKA BOSS (9), LULU LUCIFER (1)
SUGGESTED BET: Exotics 1-2-6-9

RACE TWO

ROLLED IN GOLD (3) should appreciate a return to The Triangle after campaigning on the big deck at The Creek in recent weeks. Easing from gate 5 last start before making some nice metres late, she was just 1m from subsequent G1 winner QUIK CHANGE two starts back. This looks within reach.

WAT NOW SHANNON (4) eased from gate 5 here last start to settle rearward before making a wide run and closing out strongly was able to arrive for victory. Striking trouble here two starts back, he was collared in the closing stride three back when setting the tempo and can throw it down again.

TULHURST CUDDLES (6) is afforded no favours from this alley over the middle trip but has proven to be able to grind it out, as she did last week when sitting parked to score. She is up for the fight.

RIVERINA FLASH (7) will be searching for some gaps as he looks set to be snookered in the run here. Needing the gap sooner last start when midfield behind TULHURST CUDDLES, he will be probing.

SELECTIONS: ROLLED IN GOLD (3), WAT NOW SHANNON (4), TULHURST CUDDLES (6), RIVERINA FLASH (7)
SUGGESTED BET: ROLLED IN GOLD (3) to win

RACE THREE

MISTER HART (3) took control from gate 2 here last week over the 1780 and from the front held on for the win. Placed in both lead up runs, it moved him to equal 2^nd for most ever Redcliffe victories with 20. He can press the button early to chase 21 and the outright 2^nd position.

HEY MISTER TAYLOR (9) is absolutely knocking on the door and last start was hitting the line strongly in the closing stages to make it three in succession where he has been runner-up. Working home wide off the track last time, he will likely be doing the same again here and can again challenge.

PROSPECTUS (1) gives away some experience to many in this field but does have the benefit of the fence draw. Bot suited last start at her first look at the 2040, a return to the 1780 helps here.

SUNRISE RUBY (8) returns from a spell after a midfield finish last start when chasing behind OUR UNCLE NEV. Buried in the run the start prior, with a soft trip fresh up, can be chiming in.

SELECTIONS: MISTER HART (3), HEY MISTER TAYLOR (9), PROSPECTUS (1), SUNRISE RUBY (8)
SUGGESTED BET: MISTER HART (3) to win

RACE FOUR

HEZA BLING (3) has faced second line barriers at his past two starts, the latest when trying to make closing ground as SAINT LOUIS BEAAT claimed the prize. Chasing for the bronze after settling in the 1x1 trail two starts back, he can settle forward from this gate to stake a claim in a tough maiden.

STARS OF AMERICA (6) faces the ODM embargo after making a mess of the start here last week when starting a red figure fav and having his chances expire before the green light. Chasing late to grab the silver behind LAST CALL two starts back, he can challenge despite the wide gate.

TUFFY (4) was sent forward soon after the start last time and sitting parked faded over the closing stages. Buried in the run two starts back, positioning cheaply, he has podium claims in this line up.

KISS THE AVIATOR (1) will take plenty of benefit from his latest appearance where he was resuming from a spell. Holding on for the bronze, albeit a long way from the winner, he can chime in here.

SELECTIONS: HEZA BLING (3), STARS OF AMERICA (6), TUFFY (4), KISS THE AVIATOR (1)

RACE FIVE

TRACER BULLET (2) looks the best credentialed of the contestants in this battle over the middle trip, with quote a few not owning the best numbers at ten furlongs.  Sent forward to sit parked last start and grinding it out for the bronze, he can force the issue early to get forward and throw it down.

TORQUE IN CONTROL (1) faced the inside second line here two starts back where she was shuffled to three back but when the gap arrived, she possessed the speed to cash in. Out of the money last start when needing a gap sooner, she will secure the economical trip here to challenge.

GRIGORA (9) was a winner here three starts back after securing the 1x1 trail and finishing over the top. Runner-up in both starts sine that victory, the latest when beaten an eyelash, he can chime in again.

GABBYS IDEAL (8) was a winner at the sprint trip two starts back when taking control and leading throughout. Just out of the money after facing gate 6 last start, she has podium claims here.

SELECTIONS: TRACER BULLET (2), TORQUE IN CONTROL (1), GRIGORA (9), GABBYS IDEAL (8)
SUGGESTED BET: TRACER BULLET (2) to win

RACE SIX

JUSTROLLINGAROUND (3) was a winner here three starts back at her first Qld appearance when descending on them from a second line gate to score. Runner-up in both starts since that victory, she was collared in the last stride at her most recent attempt and has the early speed to capitalise.
 
LIFEINHEAVEN (1) loves a peg trip and from the ace gets her preferred pattern. Taken back from gate 5 last start, she retreated from gate 4 the start prior. An opportunist who needs the right conditions, they present here, and she is capable of turning it around.

JIMMY BEACH (2) will step out in Qld for the first time, arriving with the Ben Battle stable as a four-time winner. Fresh since his last Wagga appearance when parked, he stays under notice.

MONTEREY JACK (9) forced the issue from gate 2 last time out and from the front was able to claim his 27^th career victory. The gate makes the repeat a big ask, but he can still chime in.

SELECTIONS: JUSTROLLINGAROUND (3), LIFEINHEAVEN (1), JIMMY BEACH (2), MONTEREY JACK (9)

RACE SEVEN

SHEER ARTISTRY (2) takes her first look at The Triangle after some handy performances at HQ. From inside the second line last start, she was blocked in traffic and never found a gap to offer a challenge. Chasing the handy SOAP OPERA the start prior, she looks to have found account opening conditions.

OUR ULTIMATE FERGY (5) backs up from Saturday’s Triad Final where she found them a bit too slippery and was not aided by the outside second line gate. Placed in both prior career starts, including a 2^nd to SYNCHRONIZER in the Triad heat, a return to this maiden grade is a huge plus.

FOR OUR DELIGHT (1) is on debut for Ron Sallis and qualified with a sound effort on this deck. By For A Reason, he is a full brother to the former smart mare Delightful Reason.

TAKE COURAGE (3) drops back to 2YO only company after racing against open age maidens in recent times as she chases her first victory. 3^rd last start to SAINT LOUIS BEAT, she is in the mix.

SELECTIONS: SHEER ARTISTRY (2), OUR ULTIMATE FERGY (5), FOR OUR DELIGHT (1), TAKE COURAGE (3)
SUGGESTED BET: SHEER ARTISTRY (2) to win

RACE EIGHT

OFFICE BAD BOY (8) started from gate 5 last time out and after having an early look, was forced to retreat before hitting the line in nice fashion and not too far from the winner. Taking them all the way here four runs back, he can follow through early and with the right tempo descend on them.

CHASIN DREAMZ (6) faced this same gate last start when sent forward to sit parked and despite a tough trip was just out of the money behind WAT NOW SHANNON. A winner from this alley four runs back, she can get forward to throw down a challenge.

DOOLITTLE DAYS (3) started from inside the second line last start and was buried away and not much went her way. Runner-up in both prior attempts, she has the arm hustle to be prominent.

SKIPPERS SWAN SONG (9) was having her first look at The Triangle last week when shuffled back from gate 1 and searching for gaps that did not arrive in time. Working home wider will suit.
