RACE THREE
LIVING FREE (1) looked ideally suited to the Trot Rods format and franked that assessment last week when firing off the arm, busting the field apart and holding on to score. He gets back to the more standard 1780m trip for this assignment but lands the gate and with 2 wins from his past 3, looks hard to stop again.
SHEZ GOT BLING (7) was a winner here 3 starts back from gate 9 when settling in a rearward position before having the closing power to swoop over the top of them. Buried in transit at her next start from this same gate, she looks set to get the right trip in behind the speed to make a closing play.
CHUMP CHOP (5) has no favours from the wide gate here. Fading after a tough run last time following 3 successive outings in the money, with an even cut of the cleaver in transit, he can feature here.
DOWNTOWN LUCCA (9) was locked away on the pegs here 2 starts back, but when the gaps arrived, he had the speed to finish over the top. Shuffled away from inside the 2nd line last start, he has podium claims.
