RACE TWO
Developing a smart record on this surface, the chance to tackle a qualifier has presented at the ideal time for SMOOTH CASH (8). Sent forward to find the front from gate 5 last start, he was too classy in pulling clear for a 10m margin with a further 7m back to 3rd. With three wins and two seconds in five attempts, the tempo should suit.
THE HERVEY BAY (3) comes into this after going around here on Wednesday night where he was able to press forward from this same gate and asked to work hard. Runner-up three starts back over he AP mile after being sent forward from gate 7, he can throw it down to them once again.
BETTATHANIDEAL (7) was angled to the pegs from the second line last start and was hoping for some luck when 7m from the winner. If Teddy does good, he will be in the ideal position to strike, just needs those factors in his favour.
TEDDY FEELS GOOD (1) made his first Qld appearance here five starts back from this same gate and got it all wrong when not handling the track. Runner-up in two starts since, if he gets it right, he can arrive
SELECTIONS: SMOOTH CASH (8), THE HERVEY BAY (3), BETTATHANIDEAL (7), TEDDY FEELS GOOD (1)
