RACE NINE
Overcoming gate 6 to win at Redcliffe four starts back and complete a hat-trick of victories, not much has been in the favour of WHATELEY (5) since. Snagging back and then against the tempo last start, positioning cheaply will be key to his chances.
SMOKE MY MOTOR (2) faces a big class drop after her three starts since arriving in Qld have all been in mare’s qualifiers. Wide gates have dented her chances in the past two where she has retreated off the arm in each and with the improved gate, she finds the right conditions to look for a breakthrough.
GOSLING IN FLIGHT (9) angled to the pegs to look for shortcuts and luck last start and received both when arriving to claim a tidy victory. With another rub of the green, he has podium claims here.
SWEET JASMINE (8) looks in danger of being hemmed away, but of the gaps arrive in time she can chime in. Claiming 3rd when attacking the line in nice style at Redcliffe last start, she will be probing.
SELECTIONS: WHATELEY (5), SMOKE MY MOTOR (2), GOSLING IN FLIGHT (9), SWEET JASMINE (8)
