RACE EIGHT
RIVERLEIGH ROCKET (5) did some early work from a similar gate over the mile last start prior to receiving cover in the run. Making his charge in the stretch, he loomed strongly, but was nabbed late by the passing lane winner, beaten a head. Finishing his races strongly, he might have found the right race here.
BURMACH (2) was sent forward from gate 3 over the Redcliffe sprint trip last start and finding the front was able to fight them off to claim a 3m victory, running a sharp closing 800m section in the process. Not suited the start prior when snagged back from gate 6, he can fire the 1st shot here.
SHAZAM SHANNON (1) is on the back-up from Thursday at Marburg when taking on a heat of the standing-start Goldstrike Series. Tough in the breeze when 3rd to BURMACH 2 starts back, the soft trip suits.
TODAYS HERO (9) found the 1x1 trail last start from this same gate and finishing hard over the 2138m trip was only 1m from the winner. With the right early trail, he can be right in the fight.
SELECTIONS: RIVERLEIGH ROCKET (5), BURMACH (2), SHAZAM SHANNON (1), TODAYS HERO (9)
SUGGESTED BET: RIVERLEIGH ROCKET (5) to win
