RACE TEN
Securing the right trip in behind the speed last start over the mile, THE HERVEY BAY (10) was able to find the space when needed, hit the front and hold on in the closing strides to score. Taken back from gate 4 the start prior when unable to get going late, he can overcome the awkward draw.
COPPERFIELD (3) was first up from a break here last week when eased to find the poles and then when shown open road in the stretch, went within a half-head of the win behind THE HERVEY BAY. With added fitness from that run, he can be close enough to throw down a challenge.
MISTERY ROAD (4) has not been seen since February 22 when he claimed a strong win when parked over this trip, claiming his first victory at the middle distance. 3rd to LEAP TO FAME two starts back, he is in the mix.
ROCKS OR DIAMONDS (8) took them all the way here two starts back from gate 5 to claim a tidy win at the mile. With over seven weeks until his next appearance, he will strip fitter and be searching for openings.
SELECTIONS: THE HERVEY BAY (10), COPPERFIELD (3), MISTERY ROAD (4), ROCKS OR DIAMONDS (8)
SUGGESTED BET: THE HERVEY BAY (10) to win
