RACE FOUR
ALWAYS MY MATE (6) was a Redcliffe winner 5 starts back when finding running line cover and then finishing over the top to claim a 2nd division band 5 event. With no barrier favours since that win, his efforts have been solid and with the return to the 1000m track in his favour, he can look to capitalise.
FIOKI (10) went back from gate 6 to the pegs in a small field on Tues and after securing the cosy trip, sprinted hard and fast to arrive for a 1780m victory. His run from the 2nd line 2 starts back was strong when within 3m of the winner ANNA BAL AL and despite a tricky gate will swoop hard.
ROCKING (8) settled in the pocket trail on Tues from inside the 2nd line and was held up behind a tiring leader. Squeezing away she nearly got there to score when claiming 2nd. With better luck she can go close.
DAYS END (3) sat behind the leader when 3m from THE DEMOCRAT at Newcastle 2 starts back and followed that with a late closing 4th over the 2550m trip. With a Tamworth run on Thurs on the way to this, he has podium claims.
