RACE TWO

TRUE STEPPER (5) will take benefit from her latest outing when returning from a let-up, sent around at Redcliffe over the 2040m trip for just the 2nd time in her career. Wide off the track over the latter stages, it was a tidy effort behind OLIVER WINKLE. There looks to be some early to mid-race pressure generated in this which gives her the chance from this alley to make a play for supremacy.

ROYAL OBSESSION (8) was sent forward and obliged to do it the tough way last start over this trip and was trying to fight late when fading to be 9m in arrears of the winner. Luckless from a wide gate the start prior, he has the 2nd line options here and working into the running line early will see him throw down the challenge in this.

GASMONKEY (6) was not suited last start when not having the cleanest run-in transit and then forced to snag back to find position. A solid tempo was his undoing when racing first over 2 runs back at the trip and if able to work with less pressure, he can feature.

JAGGERS SWAGGER (2) gives away plenty of experience to his rivals here with just the 5 career starts to his name. Fitter following 2 runs back from a spell, the latest when buried in the run from inside the 2nd line, he is a podium hope.


SELECTIONS: TRUE STEPPER (5), ROYAL OBSESSION (8), GASMONKEY (6), JAGGERS SWAGGER (2)
SUGGESTED BET: TRUE STEPPER (5) to win

RACE THREE

RISKY BUZINESS (3)
was sent forward from gate 6 here 2 runs back and was able to get across to take up the lamp lighting duties. Trying to fight them off, he was nailed on the wire, beaten a pimple up the passing lane. Game in defeat last start when forced to roll the sleeves and do it the tough way, he can take control and look to dictate.

GUTS (10) is chasing down a hat-trick of victories after wins over the sprint trip at Redcliffe and then here on Monday. Taking them all the way from gate 2 at The Triangle 2 runs back, he landed gate 9 here and with the right trail in transit had the closing power to finish over the top of them. With a similar trip, he can again be challenging.

SHEZ GOT BLING (5) eased from gate 5 over the Redcliffe 2040m trip 2 runs back before making a spirited bid when able to get within a head of victory. Buried away at her next start, she can stay out of the early speed and be working home into the minors.

CYCLONE KELLY (7) features in a barn switch to join the Shannon Price team. A Redcliffe winner 3 runs back when sent to the front from gate 4 and keeping them chasing, it has not gone to plan at his past 2. He can be shaper here.

RACE FIVE

SQUARE DEALER (6) trialled in nice order in readiness for his Qld debut and that trial was franked with a first up victory. Settling in the pocket trail, he finished over the top of them in a smart mile. Sent out in red figures at his next run off the back of the 1st up victory, he could not cope from the breeze and wilted. The wider gate stings, but if he can limit the early burn, he can atone.

TEARAWAY DIAMOND (5) has been racing in good touch of recent times and was able to overcome gate 6 here on Monday when charging home to score. Eased in the early stages, a pedestrian 2nd panel looked to favour those at the front, yet he had enough ammunition to win the closing battle. Runner-up to STINGER LINDENNY 2 runs back, he can throw it down again here.

BLISSFULDAY (1) overcame the 2nd line at Redcliffe 2 runs back to finish over the top of them in a smart win. Tackling a qualifier last start, he was asked to race first over as SLINGSHOT dictated and he did not shirk the task in holding on for a gritty 3rd. He can burrow through early and has options to feature.

SAVING MAJOR PERCY (7) is yet to miss the board since arriving in Qld with a pair of minors complementing a pair of victories. Wide of the track last start at the 2138m, he was 5m from the winner. The gate is not ideal, but he has podium hopes once again.

RACE SIX

THE FORTUNATE SON (5)
will take benefit from his return last week in a qualifier where he was 1st up without a public trial. Off the 2nd line, he was back in the pack with the leader controlling to take them all the way. At his best when high rolling at the pointy end, he will relish the return to the front line and can look to take control of proceedings.

STINGER LINDENNY (4) is in search of a hat-trick of victories after leading throughout in claiming wins at the mile and middle distance. Firing out from gate 3 to take control last start, he was allowed a cheap opener which gave him plenty of venom to close it out. The amount of early pressure will be critical to his challenging chances.

BOMBADIER JUJON (7) faces the tough gate here 3rd up from a spell after a handy last start 3rd when using the passing lane to grab the bronze behind NIMAH FRANCO. A solid tempo will aid his chances here and he can be eating into the deficit in the stretch.

ICE PICK ANGIE (9) broke through to claim a mares qualifier 2 runs back when sent to the breeze from gate 7 and proving too strong, defeating subsequent winner MISS GOLD FORTUNE. Too far back last start, she can look to chime in late here.
