RACE NINE
ELMS CREEK (8) will be having his 3rd local start and despite coming up with a tricky gate can look to open his Qld account. He was a long way back in the run over the 2138m at AP 2 starts back when trying to work home and last start was locked away and couldn’t pick them up late. He can bounce back.
SPRINGFIELD SPIRIT (4) put together successive victories here on the triangle and then at Redcliffe. Slammed with 2nd line gates at his next 2 starts he has been working home strongly in each to pick up a minor. Returning to the front line he can look to make the most of his chances.
DESTINY WARRIOR (10) makes his Qld debut and arrives a last start winner at Dubbo. Looking in a tricky spot when locked away, he sprinted sharply when the gaps opened. 1st up for a month he will benefit from the hit-out.
WILLSINTOWN (6) has no favours from this gate but has been racing consistently and last start was rewarded when leading all the way to a comfortable victory. He can be in the mix.
