RACE THREE
In another tricky contest to line up WHOSTOLEMYPIGEON (9) can watch the action unfold before finishing over the top. Not suited when forced to restrain to find position from gate 6 last start, that had followed a mistake 2 starts back. Placing his previous 3 starts, he will be swooping.
TORQUE WITH ESTEEM (2) has good speed off the arm and from the two-hole can look to fire the 1st shot. Starting fav last start from this same gate, she pressed on to take control but couldn’t hold off the closing challenge of RIVERLEIGH JEFF. If able to pinch a panel, she will take some catching.
MACH TORQUE (8) made full use of an improved gate last start and over the sprint trip took them all the way, running a nice closing 800m in the process. With the right early trail, she can challenge here.
YKIKAFIL (7) will be needing a slice of luck from this gate as he looks set to be buried away in the run. Beaten the barest possible margin by RECIPE FOR DREAMING 2 starts back, he will probe in this.
