Form Analysis: Redcliffe Jun 02

RACE TWO

The early action here will go a long way to deciding who prevails with the Dixon pair holding the keys to the contest. HENRY HU (3) was building towards a victory with some handy efforts at headquarters before franking that at his 1^st appearance here on The Triangle 2 starts back with a stylish win. That was from the breeze and he is up to this.

GOOD AS IT GETS (2) has a tidy record on this surface and was closing out nicely over the Trot Rods scamper last start when 2^nd behind AQUA SANCTA. Too far back the start prior from the 2^nd line in the 4YO APG event claimed by ADAM CROCKER, he has the gate to make a big play for the prize.

PAY ME OVERS (4) makes her 1^st appearance here at Redcliffe and brings a smart close-out last start when tackling a mare’s qualifier. Charging home to be 3m from LILYMADIMAC, look for her chiming in.

BEEF CITY BLAZE (1) lands the ideal gate to suit his pattern and with the economical run-in transit can be ready to take the snipers shot. A gritty 3^rd last start at Marburg, he will be stalking.

SUGGESTED BET: HENRY HU (3) to win

RACE THREE

FIRE AND ICE (1) was asked to do some early work last start before cover arrived over the AP 2138m and was down the lien as VIENNA BOY claimed the prize. Finishing strongly here 3 starts back over the sprint trip when 1.5m in arrears of the winner, he was game from the breeze at his next start. The gate is a huge plus.

JOVIAL JULIE (3) has been in consistent touch and lines up here with a pair of wins sandwiching a 1m 2^nd when starting from the 2^nd line over this trip. Showing early hustle before taking running line cover last start, she finished over the top to claim a smart win. Settling handy, she can challenge.

GOTTAHAVEAHOBBIE (7) was a Marburg winner 2 starts back when stepping out in Qld for the 2^nd time, finishing smartly to score. A beaten fav last start when wilting, he can be sharper in this.

LA SAFRON (4) has been runner-up at his past 2 when using the passing lane, both in 947m events. Only a half-head away 2 back, finding position will be key to his chances here and with even luck can feature.

SELECTIONS: FIRE AND ICE (1), JOVIAL JULIE (3), GOTTAHAVEAHOBBIE (7), LA SAFRON (4)
SUGGESTED BET: FIRE AND ICE (1) to win

RACE FOUR

The first of six heats over three nights in the Young Drivers Series where KENDYS BUTTERFLY (4) can look to continue her good form. A gritty winner here 2 starts back when sent to the breeze from the 2^nd line, she was then beaten by gate 5 when not too far from VNISH HANOVER. A smart Trot Rods heat winner last start, she can arrive once again.

MAJOR LESTER (2) tackled a much stronger event over the AP 2138m last start when holding the pocket trail from gate 1. Making a closing dive, he was within a head of the winner RAANI in a smart 1^st outing in Qld. From the gate he will be handy to the action and can throw it down to them.

SPECIALANDIKNOWIT (9) has hit the board in 9 of his 11 starts on this surface, the latest when taking them all the way from gate 1 in scoring a comfortable victory. The gates stings but he can be working home late.

BLACKJACK JIM (8) was angled to the pegs from this gate here 2 starts back and with the luck falling his way, charged hard to score. Both his wins have been here at Redcliffe and he can chime in again.

SELECTIONS: KENDYS BUTTERFLY (4), MAJOR LESTER (2), SPECIALANDIKNOWIT (9), BLACKJACK JIM (8)

RACE FIVE
 
DOWNTOWN LUCCA (3) found the pocket trail from gate 5 here 2 starts back and then had the bullets to hit the target up the passing lane. Not ideally suited to the Trot Rods format last start, he can settle close to the action from this gate and looks to get his chance to make it 3 wins from his past 6 starts.

MANOFLISA (9) started from inside the 2^nd line last time out and was soon locked away in the run and looking for luck. From gate 6 here 2 starts back, he was wide off the track and strong to the line to grab the silver behind DON HESTON and with the right cart into this can make a challenge.

OUR ULTIMATE BONNY (5) will be further tightened from her latest outing when 2^nd up from a break. Resuming in the Triad consolation when 7^th, she was only 2m away 2^nd up and can feature here.
 
ABBEY DIADEMA (1) was a winner here 4 starts back when settling in the 1x1 trail before finishing best to claim the prize. Only a head away at her next appearance, she was beaten in red figures last start from gate 6. The improved alley is a big plus here.

SUGGESTED BET: DOWNTOWN LUCCA (3) to win

RACE SIX

The 2^nd of the Young Drivers heats can see the in-form SIR BULSKI (2) position close to the action for another victory. Claiming the prize in 3 of his past 4 starts, 2 of those victories have been in the Trot Rods format, the latest when charging home to score. With early hustle, he can be in the right place to strike.

PAGO PAGO (4) capitalised on gate 1 last time out over the 947m to take them all the way, scoring by a margin of 5m. He should take some benefit from that appearance where he was returning from a freshen and sliding across in the early stages can be in the right spot to make a challenge.

BONDI PRINCE (10) was sent forward from gate 5 over the 2040m trip last time out and sitting parked hard too much in reserve when scoring a comfortable 9m victory. The gate hurts but he is up to the task.

ROWDYS ACE (1) tried to take them all the way from gate 2 here 2 starts back with a 28.7 opening panel proving too costly. 9m in arrears in a tougher race last start, he will get his chance from this alley.

RACE SEVEN

There are some in form runners in this race and a front line that looks to generate some early heat here. With that in mind, it could TUAKANA (9) from the 2^nd line that has the last shot. A Marburg winner when 1^st up in Qld when too strong after racing parked, he was then game in a Trot Rods from gate 5 when only 2m in arrears.

DEAL BREAKER (8) started from the 2^nd line at Marburg last time out and was sent around them in the middle stages to press on to the front. Once in control, she was able to hold on to claim the prize. That followed a grinding 2^nd when 1^st up in Qld and with the right trail early can throw it down.

THEMIDNIGHTRAMBLER (6) has finished in the top-two every time he has stepped out in Qld, the latest when making a closing play for the silver in a Trot Rods event. Despite the tough gate, he can feature.

TEACHERS PET (7) will need a slice of luck at some stage from this gate as she looks in danger of being shuffled back in transit. Leading throughout over the scamper last start, she will be probing.

SELECTIONS: TUAKANA (9), DEAL BREAKER (8), THEMIDNIGHTRAMBLER (6), TEACHERS PET (7)
SUGGESTED BET: TUAKANA (9) to win

 

RACE EIGHT

ELLE JAY (5) was a Marburg winner 4 runs back after easing early from the widest gate before making a wide and searching run to score. Placed in 2 of her next 3, the latest over the 947m when 7m from SIR BULSKI, she can overcome the sticky alley to add another victory to her tally.

TICK OF THE CLOCK (2) did not have much go his way in a Trot Rods sprint last start which followed a tidy 3^rd over the Marburg 1850m. Angled away from the pegs in that contest after drawing inside the 2^nd line, he closed out to grab the bronze behind DEAL BREAKER. From the gate he can challenge.

MELTON MAX GENTLE (9) settled in the running line from gate 8 last time out when finishing midfield behind THEMIDNIGHTRAMBLER. Closing smartly from rearward positions his previous 2, he has podium claims once again.

WRITEABOUTCHELSEA (7) has hit the board in 2 of her past 3 starts, the latest when chasing hard for the silver behind MIDNGHT QUEEN. With an economical trip against the markers, she will be probing.

RACE NINE

KALANI (1) was on debut when landing inside the 2^nd line and soon after was pegged away back against the poles as subsequent winner PRINCESS CHILLA took the prize. Chasing late to grab the silver behind MISSTREPO last start, he comes up with the front line for the 1^st time and looks to get every chance.

SIR HASZEM (7) made a costly error last start from the pocket trail and was down the line. Looking to lead throughout here 3 starts back, he was in front when grabbed late and followed that with a midfield finish. With an easy trip he can be ready to make a closing play here.

STEEVEN (2) settled down to fight out the finish here 2 starts back but could not quite get past the winner FAVREAU when 1.5m away. He could not go with them late last start at AP and back to Redcliffe can join in.

BEE A BLESSING (8) started deep into the red last start to break her maiden from gate 1. Finding the front, she was unable to see it out to finish 6m in arrears. From the gate, she can be thereabouts.

SELECTIONS: KALANI (1), SIR HASZEM (7), STEEVEN (2), BEE A BLESSING (8)

RACE TEN

IMA CHICK MAGNET (4) started his career when eased from gate 5 before hitting the line in smart order to grab the silver behind MISTY CREEK. He found them out of reach 2^nd up in the Breeders Classic and the last start was game after a tough trip from gate 7. He looks to get his chance in this race.

MIDNIGHT SOMEWHERE (6) will take some experience from his debut when tackling the Breeders Classic consolation and after doing some early work could not go on with it as BANGKOK DEEJAY powered away. Despite the wide gate, he looks better suited here and shapes as an improver.

TROUPER JUJON (3) was down the line behind a smart on in MY ULTIMATE BAXTER on debut and then chased hard behind the smart BANGKOK DEEJAY when 3^rd at his 2^nd outing. He has claims here.
