RACE EIGHT
SAM IS PERFECTION (5) should relish taking on this class of opposition after some strong runs mixing it with in-form pacers in recent outings. Bumping in to the in-form CULTURE KING at his past 2 starts, he hit the line strongly 3 starts back when only 3m from the winner SIR JULIAN. Beaten a pimple when nabbed in the last stride by SPEECH IS SILVER 5 runs back, this looks a nice target.
JONAH JONES (1) steps out in Qld for the 1st time, joining the Dixon stable. Claimed last start at Menangle where he trailed them in over the mile, he was not too far away from the winner AZTEC BROMAC 2 starts back. If he can handle the triangle 1st up, he can throw down a challenge.
UNASSUMING CHAMP (9) has a better than 50% strike-rate of finishing in the money here at the triangle, with his latest effort a nice run when 5m from the winner KETUT. He can chime in again.
ELMS CREEK (3) was locked away against the poles last start at The Creek and used the passing lane when trying to make closing ground. Placed his previous 3 in succession, he is in the mix here.
SELECTIONS: SAM IS PERFECTION (5), JONAH JONES (1), UNASSUMING CHAMP (9), ELMS CREEK (3)
SUGGESTED BET: SAM IS PERFECTION (5) to win
