RACE ONE
MASTER CHARLES (2) was shooting for a hat-trick of wins two runs back when gate 6 over the AP mile was his downfall. Not suited last start when asked to sit parked outside MI FURIOSO TORO, he finds conditions to bounce back. UHURA (1) has not been overly inspiring in three runs in Qld, the latest when retreating from gate 7 to settle rearward. Further fitness and the improved gate can be the catalyst for a shaper return. MAFFIOSO GIRL (9) bounced back to winning form at Marburg last start when finding the gaps to launch a closing raid. The confidence helps but she will be relying on some factors from this alley. WESTERN SHOWGIRL (7) has placed at her past two outings, the latest when working home wide off the track at Marburg. The economical trip here is a plus.
SELECTIONS: MASTER CHARLES (2), UHURA (1), MAFFIOSO GIRL (9), WESTERN SHOWGIRL (7)
SUGGESTED BET: MASTER CHARLES (2) to win
