RACE NINE
ALWAYS IN COMMAND (3) had a shot for the lamp lighting duties here last start from gate 5, but was denied and then forced to face the breeze throughout. Digging in for the fight, he was 7m from the winner. Taking benefit from the run, his 1st since joining Donny Smith, this looks his chance.
PITTSWORTH MAN (1) started from this gate last time out when releasing the front to the smart LIFES BLACK. Chasing home, he held on for the silver, which followed a tidy effort when closing in good order behind BURNING AMBITION. With the cosy trip he will be coiled and ready to strike.
BARA CHARLOTTE (4) didn’t have much luck here 2 starts back from gate 10 when wide and working. Last start at Tamworth she chased gamely for the silver and can chime in here.
LURAH (6) has now been in the money at 5 of her past 6 appearances, the latest when closing hard down the centre of the track, only to be denied up the passing lane. She won’t be far away again.
SELECTIONS: ALWAYS IN COMMAND (3), PITTSWORTH MAN (1), BARA CHARLOTTE (4), LURAH (6)
SUGGESTED BET: ALWAYS IN COMMAND (3) to win
