RACE SIX
SUBSTITOOTH (5) has tackled the AP mile at his past three starts, the past two when faced with the outside front line gate owing to his poor manners. Sent to sit parked last start, he was in for the fight and still grinding it out when 5m from the winner SO AM I. He can apply the heat here.
MISTER HART (1) was looking to extend his winning streak last time out when sent to the post as the fav, chasing his fourth win in succession. Unable to go on with it after positioned in the 1x1 trail, he was well beaten. With the gate advantage, he secures his chance to bounce back with vengeance.
NAKULA (6) was resuming from a spell last time out when asked to do it the tough way outside the leader. Hanging tough to hold on for the silver, the added fitness is a plus, the gate is not.
HE SAID SHE SAID (7) resumes from a spell and comes up with the ideal gate fresh up to gain the economical fence trip. With no public trial, he will benefit from whatever he can achieve here.
SELECTIONS: SUBSTITOOTH (5), MISTER HART (1), NAKULA (6), HE SAID SHE SAID (7)
SUGGESTED BET: SUBSTITOOTH (5) to win
