RACE TWO
Still searching for his first win here at The Creek, the conditions might just have fallen in favour of OBI ONE (2) to open his account. Gate 6 was his undoing last start when retreating and the tempo was against him and two back, he was strong to the line for 2nd behind THE RACONTEUR. This looks his chance.
NICKS PICK (1) went a stretch of four starts where he was beaten no further than a half-neck, making the closing challenge on each occasion but just coming up short. Picking off some late metres last start behind KASHED UP, he looks set for another economical trip and can be ready to strike.
THREE RIVERS (12) is the query runner and given no favours from out in gate 12 at his first run back from a spell. The winner of 4 from 7 in his career, he needs to step up here, but a recent trial caught the eye.
FALCONS (8) is at his best saved for one shot and from this gate he looks set to be buried but will be searching for an opening. Not much was ion his favour from gate 5 last start, and he will be probing.
SELECTIONS: OBI ONE (2), NICKS PICK (1), THREE RIVERS (12), FALCONS (8)
SUGGESTED BET: OBI ONE (2) to win
