RACE EIGHT
This mare’s races are always a keenly contested event and this shapes as being no different. Despite coming up with the wide gate, JEWEL OF PEAK (6) might just have the required hustle to get across them here. Game in defeat after rolling in front 2 starts back, she might just be able to pinch this.
OUR ANTONIO ROSE (7) has now had the 2 starts in Qld for the Dwyer stable, starting from the 2nd line on each occasion. Trying to pick off late metres last start when 5m in arrears of the dictating VOUCHERS, she was a well-beaten favourite when 1st up. Despite the gate she gets her chance.
FAIRIESDELIGHT (4) took control here on Tuesday over the middle trip and with an opening half in 60.5 was unable to finish it off. A Redcliffe winner the start prior, a return to mares only is a plus.
MOLLYS SECRET (9) has hit the board in 3 of her 5 starts since returning from a spell, the past 2 in mares only grade. Chiming in late when 4m from VOUCHERS last start, she can bob up in the money.
SELECTIONS: JEWEL OF PEAK (6), OUR ANTONIO ROSE (7), FAIRIESDELIGHT (5), MOLLYS SECRET (9)
SUGGESTED BET: JEWEL OF PEAK (6) to win
INPLAY: JEWEL OF PEAK (6) looks to have the speed to cross, but a sectional watch will come into play with how hard she runs the first 800-metres. If it is run hard and OUR ANTONIO ROSE (7) is close enough in the run, this might be her chance.
