RACE TWO
CULTURE KING (5) was runner-up to ROLL WIT LACHLAN at his Qld debut with the barriers playing all the difference. Winning both starts since in strong fashion, he claimed victory in his heat of this series when controlling the tempo through the middle 800m to put them to the sword in a 26.5 closer. With the main danger now scratched, the race looks to be for the placings.
ROLL ONE OVER (7) lines up searching for a hat-trick of victories after successive wins at the mile. He has the wide gate to negotiate but he was strong in his heat win here last week when sitting outside TOMMY UNDER FIRE and putting him away with a narrow victory. He gives the Cross stable a solid chance of taking the quinella.
TOMMY UNDER FIRE (8) released the front when resuming from a spell here 3 starts back and with the passing lane power scored a fresh victory. Trying to dictate last week in his heat when nabbed late, the scratching of the 1 has really hurt his chances as he looks set to be locked away yet the race looks set for the minors.
TIMELESS APPEAL (4) has the early speed to fire off the arm here to find the pegs and would then be available for the trail run. Only 5m in arrears of ROLL ONE OVER in the heat from the 1x1, she is in the mix.
SELECTIONS: CULTURE KING (5), ROLL ONE OVER (7), TOMMY UNDER FIRE (8), TIMELESS APPEAL (4)
SUGGESTED BET: CULTURE KING (5) to win
