RACE THREE
FIREHOUSE (1) has been to the start on 3 occasions here since joining the Cini stable, the latest when sent to the breeze over this trip from gate 7. Working hard in the run, he was grinding it out to fade in the closing stages. Grabbing 3rd behind LE TISSIER in both previous starts, he lands the marble to capitalise.
HAPPY PUBLICANS (7) made a mess of the start here last week and under the circumstances the run was full of merit when chasing to be under 8m from the winner. Taking them all the way from gate 1 here 2 starts back, he can throw down the challenge despite the tough alley.
ASCALABUS (5) caught the eye last start when charging home over the closing stages in some sharp sectionals when 7m in arrears of the winner. He made an error the start prior and can chime in here.
GINGER MICKY (2) has not taken a stroll down victory lane since April last year which is of some concern, but his efforts have been sound enough to see him use this alley to advantage.
SELECTIONS: FIREHOUSE (1), HAPPY PUBLICANS (7), ASCALABUS (5), GINGER MICKY (2)
SUGGESTED BET: FIREHOUSE (1) to win
