RACE SIX
Despite looking in a spot of bother from the trail last week at his first Qld appearance when the leader walked through the opening half, LAMANDIER (2) showed some slippery moves up the passing lane to get past the leader in sizzling style. From the gate he looks mighty hard to stop.
KING OF TRUMPS (9) was asked to hang tough when sent around from the 2nd line to sit parked last time out and was in for the fight over the 2138m when within 3m of the winner OHOKA CHOPPER. Only beaten a pimple the start prior, the gate stings but pressing through early can throw it down.
ROCKS OR DIAMONDS (6) started from inside the 2nd line last start and did not have the smoothest ride home when within 3m of the winner. Charging home the start prior, he will be in the mix here.
TARGARYEN (8) will be requiring a slice of luck at some stage as he looks set to be buried in the run. A winner 2 starts back when sitting parked, he will be searching for space here.
SELECTIONS: LAMANDIER (2), KING OF TRUMPS (9), ROCKS OR DIAMONDS (6), TARGARYEN (8)
SUGGESTED BET: LAMANDIER (2) to win
