RACE EIGHT
CHAPTER ONE (8) was locked away on the markers last start when angled down from gate 10 to look for the short-cuts home over the 2138m. 2 starts back he set the tempo and it was only in the closing strides that TOM ME GUN was able to wear him down. He will be probing for the gaps.
KOTARE YORK (1) set the tempo last start from this gate in a stronger contest and keeping the speed on, was only collared in the closing stages with THE SHADY ONE swooping to victory. Fitter again following 3 runs back from a break, he can take control here and if able to pinch a panel can salute.
OUTLAW FELLA (9) is on the back-up from Sat and will find this much easier than his past 2 outings. Only 5m from the winner in an M0 event 2 starts back, with the right trail, this is within reach.
KETUT (6) has no favours from a tricky gate, but with his pattern showing a preference for swooping home late, it may not be all bad. Only 6m from ANNIKA MAGIC last start, look for him charging.
SELECTIONS: CHAPTER ONE (8), KOTARE YORK (1), OUTLAW FELLA (9), KETUT (6)
SUGGESTED BET: CHAPTER ONE (8) to win
