RACE EIGHT
MISTER DIAMOND (1) secured early position and then as the field settled was shuffled back. Strong to the line behind THE ROCKNROLL KING, it followed a down the line effort over this trip after working early. An eye-catcher here 3 starts back, he comes up with the gate to overcome the win drought.
KING OF TRUMPS (8) was sent to the breeze over the Redcliffe 2040m last time out and with a steady opening half of the last mile had bullets to fire in the closing stages. Claiming a 3m victory with a slippery last panel, he looks set for the cosy trip and can be ready to strike in the stretch.
MULLUM FLO (6) was huge in victory last week, with her chances looking forlorn after making an early error. Weaving a passage, she was attacking the line and arrived in the closing stages for the prize. Despite the ODM embargo, she cannot be overlooked.
CARLOS BROMAC (5) makes his Aus debut for Belinda McCarthy, arriving with 3 wins and 7 minors to his name in 24 outings in the South of NZ. Trialling behind the talented 3YO ALADDIN in readiness for his return, he stays under watch.
SELECTIONS: MISTER DIAMOND (1), KING OF TRUMPS (8), MULLUM FLO (6), CARLOS BROMAC (5)
