RACE SIX
CLINTAL DO (7) has the tough gate to negotiate here, but he has really started to put it together and will shoot for his 6th win from his past 7 starts. From gate 5 last start he settled back in the pack and when launching his run quickly picked them up and put them away. This will be a test, but he can pass with flying colours.
TOMEARA (2) has been in the money at his past 3 and was a tough winner 5 starts back. Last week he found the line strongly over the 2138m trip from back in the pack and that followed a half-head 2nd to BET IM SPECIAL. With a gate advantage over the main dangers, he can take his shot.
SOMEPARTYSOMEWHERE (12) has the tough gate but is racing in great form and can’t be excluded. Last start he was attacking the line in a Rising Stars final when 3m from PSYCHEDELIC and can challenge.
RUATO BAY (1) claimed the bronze last week in the same race as TOMEARA when sitting in the pocket trail. That followed a passing lane win at Redcliffe and with the cosy trip has place claims.
