RACE THREE
OCTOBER RACKETEER (2) started from gate 5 over the AP mile last start when easing in the early stages before landing in the 1x trail. With a slow middle 800m, the race developed into a turn and burn, and he was strong to be just 4m from the winner. Racing well without much going his way, he has the gate to capitalise here.
WHATTA GOOD REASON (8) should appreciate a return to Redcliffe after tackling some strong opponents at headquarters in recent outings. Buried as HEMSWORTH carved it out in front last start, he could not see it out over the 2138m the start prior. With the right trail he can challenge here.
IAMAJOYRIDE (6) made the most of an improved gate last time out when firing off the arm to take control and once in front took them all the way at The Creek. The gate hurts at her first look here at The Triangle but she has the class to overcome the alley.
JAZIAH (7) pressed ahead to find the front from gate 2 last start and was fighting hard to the wire when nabbed in the last stride by FLO RYDA. With an economical trip, she will be probing for gaps.
