RACE FOUR
An intriguing open class event here where the likely main players drawn wide will give the opportunity to WILL THE WIZARD (4) to look to make use of the gate advantage. Sent to the front from gate 6 last start over the sprint trip, he opened them up sub 27 and then his last 800m had them chasing in a 55.2 section to score. Beaten a lip in FFA grade 2 back, he gets a chance.
CARDLESFROMHEAVEN (8) has the options as the lone 2nd line runner which as he searches for the right passage to find his way into the race. His individual sections were 2nd only to the winner MACH DA VINCI last week which followed his swooping win here 2 starts back when defeating COLT THIRTY ONE. The tempo will suit for him again here.
CRUNCH TIME (7) was in a foul mood last week when refusing to pace and his chances expired before they even started. Gritty in defeat the start prior when doing all the heavy lifting, he will need to grind it out again.
TOMMY LINCOLN (5) has faced gate 7 at his past 2 starts, the latest when easing early before trying to make a closing play to be 4m from the winner OUR UNCLE SAM. Too strong for MACH DA VINCI the start prior, he can be chiming in here.
SELECTIONS: WILL THE WIZARD (4), CARDLESFROMHEAVEN (8), CRUNCH TIME (7), TOMMY LINCOLN (5)
SUGGESTED BET: WILL THE WIZARD (4) to win
