RACE EIGHT
VINNY CHASE (3) started fav last week from the 2nd line and after settling in the running line couldn’t pick them up when finishing 4m from the winner. Sent on a forward mission to take control over the mile here 2 starts back, once he assumed the lamp lighting duties, he powered home to a big win. From the front he will be hard to stop.
SOLE AMBITION (7) set the tempo over the 2138m last start from the ace and after setting the tempo of a 54.9 closing 800m, had to settle for silver behind the in-form KID MONTANA. A tough winner 2 starts back when sent to the breeze from the 2nd line, he will be in for the fight here.
JAMES DEAN (1) will take some benefit from his 1st look at The Creek on Sat night when chasing hard from back in the pack. Tough in the breeze at Menangle 2 starts back, he can secure the easy trip to rally a late challenge.
CHERRYS THE BEST (10) shoots for a hat-trick after wins at the mile and 2138m in her past 2 outings. Eased back from gate 7 last start in a qualifier, she had too much arsenal in charging home to a 6m victory. The gate hurts, but she can’t be ignored.
