RACE TWO
Taking further benefit from his latest outing where he was third up from a break, MONTANA FLASH (5) has to negotiate a tricky alley, but the small field can help offset that issue. Catching the eye with some smart closing panels last start behind AUNTY BELLA, he can arrive.
MISSINMEMATE (1) faces a sharp gate improvement after being no closer than gate 5 at his past six attempts. Still producing two wins in that period, the latest of those two starts back when charging home from back in the pack for a smart win. Settling closer can see him throw down the challenge.
OYSTER STRIDE (4) should find this easier than recent outings including his last start when finishing with the silver from gate 1 after taking a passing lane shot. Limiting the early burn has him in the mix.
TRACER BULLET (2) grabbed 3rd in a Trot Rods event last start when 4m from the winner. Beaten by a wide second line gate here two starts back, he can dart straight down to the poles for an easy trip.
SELECTIONS: MONTANA FLASH (5), MISSINMEMATE (1), OYSTER STRIDE (4), TRACER BULLET (2)
