RACE EIGHT
ROYAL LINCOLN (2) was a winner here 5 starts back when sent to the front from this same gate over the mile and was too strong in claiming a 10m victory. Facing wide gates in all 4 since that win, his run here 3 back was solid when 3rd to INNOCENT CROCKER and with the improved gate can cash-in.
RENEE DALE (6) faces a tricky gate here but has been game in her 2 Qld starts to date. Snagged back from gate 6 over the mile 2 starts back she chased gamely when the race was gone behind the huge winner PINUP BOY. Only grabbed in the last strides by CALLMEQUEENBEE last week she can go close.
MACHIN OUT (8) will be relying on plenty of luck from this alley as he looks in danger of being buried in the run, however placed in his past 3 he is going well and just needs the luck to see some space.
ARK PATROL (5) has been runner-up at his past 2 starts and been no further than 2m off the winner in each. Pressing on to the front from gate 6 last start he was nabbed up the passing lane and will be thereabouts here.
SELECTIONS: ROYAL LINCOLN (2), RENEE DALE (6), MACHIN OUT (8), ARK PATROL (5)
