RACE ELEVEN
MIRACLE RISING (6) has been freshened since his last outing when claiming the silver in the DJA final. Stepping cleanly to find the front he was under pressure at the 500m when MONARO MIA swept up yet he fought gamely to go under by 3m. From the 10m impost he looks well placed.
QUIETLY SPOKEN (1) made the most of a good alley under mobile conditions to take them all the way here 4 starts back. Since that win she hasn’t been too far away in each of 3 events, the latest when finding the line in good order. With a cosy run on offer look for her taking the closing shot.
SCORCHED (3) snagged back to the pegs last start and chased home soundly behind MISTER GUNSEN. Buried in the run 2 starts back and never spotting an opening, he has podium claims.
SOUTHERN ALPS (5) chased home in good order to grab the silver behind IVANOV over the 2138m here 3 starts back. Forget he has gone around his past 2, he can be much sharper in this.
SELECTIONS: MIRACLE RISING (6), QUIETLY SPOKEN (1), SCORCHED (3), SOUTHERN ALPS (5)
