RACE FIVE
This looks an open contest with a few chances where the tempo of the race will be all important to the hopes of many. DONT CALL ME (8) broke through for an overdue win at Redcliffe last start when capitalising on a tight alley to take them all the way, running a nice closing 800m. He will be relying on some factors in his favour here, but if finding the passing lane with momentum, he can arrive.
OASIS DREAM (3) has been campaigning in Sat night qualifying races and hasn’t been too far from the mark. Runner-up to LETTUCEFIRESTAR 2 starts back, he was only a half-head away 5 back behind BETTOR TO BE TRICKY. Able to do some work, this race looks within his capabilities.
PURE CHARISMA (6) doesn’t have any favours from the wide gate, as she searches for her 1st success at AP after 5 attempts. Eased back last start from gate 5, she was making good closing ground and in this line-up, won’t be far away.
RUNFORTHEROSES (10) resumes from a freshen after last seen when runner-up in a mares qualifier. Only beaten a half-neck on that occasion, she will need some luck in transit and looks a place hope.
SELECTIONS: DONT CALL ME (8), OASIS DREAM (3), PURE CHARISMA (6), RUNFORTHEROSES (10)
SUGGESTED BET: DONT CALL ME (8) to win
