RACE NINE
NIFTY STUDLEIGH (6) had superior speed inside here on Fri over the mile when easing to find position. With the leader and winner CUT FROM ROCK able to dictate the pace in front, he was left chasing to finish just beyond mid-field. A Marburg winner 2 starts back, he should appreciate this contest despite the tough gate.
BLUE SHARD (4) resumes from a spell here, sent for a break after finishing not too far away from them back in December. Opening the pipes in a recent trial, there was plenty to like about the hit-out when only a half-head from the smart 3YO WILL THE WIZARD. He might need the run, but off his trial effort, this isn’t out of reach.
A ROCKNROLL LEGACY (2) backs up from Sun night at Redcliffe where he was sent forward from the 2nd line to do it the tough way outside the leader. Holding on for 3rd, he wasn’t too far away and if he can get across to dictate, can give plenty of cheek in this.
MOTU AMETHYST (3) has been to the track on 3 occasions, the latest when 4m from the winner THE HUMMER after securing a cosy trip in the trail. 2m from the winner 2 starts back, she is in the mix.
SELECTIONS: NIFTY STUDLEIGH (6), BLUE SHARD (4), A ROCKNROLL LEGACY (2), MOTU AMETHYST (3)
