RACE SIX
AT WEST POINT (4) quite possibly has required new racing plates, after his past 2 starts, having scorched the track in successive outings. Smashing the Redcliffe track record 2 starts back with a dominating 1.53.3, he then repeated the speed here last week when sizzling around the 1000m oval in 51 flat. Add to that a 51.9 win 4 starts back, another big mile looks on the cards.
ESCALERA (1) backs up from Sat night where was right in the fight and not far from the action. Claiming a qualifier, the start prior when 2nd up from a spell, it was a controlled opening half over the 2138m before dialling it up in a sub 54 closing 800m panel. He can take the slipstream trail and try to offer some form of challenge.
UNCLE JORD (9) was a gallant winner here 2 starts back when doing all the bullocking work and still having the power to fight them off. Gate 7 beat him last start as AT WEST POINT lay it down last week and he will be chasing again.
GAME SET MAJOR (5) returns to Qld for a Winter tilt at further success after opening his win account here last year at his 1st race appearance. Winning a further 3 races and placed 4 times in his 10 starts since, he arrives here 2nd up after a nice 1st up win. The gate hurts in this guaranteed sizzle-fest, while MOHS EM DOWN (6) is also a player after his strong win on Sat night when powering away to a smart win.
SELECTIONS: AT WEST POINT (4), ESCALERA (1), UNCLE JORD (9), GAME SET MAJOR (5)
