Form Analysis: Redcliffe Oct 20

RACE ONE

SHORT LEG SUE (3) chalked up another minor last time out to make it six successive placings. With the cosy trip three back on the poles, she loomed up but could not repel the close out of TACTICS ARE ROLLIN in finishing with the bronze. With the speed to lead, this is surely her chance to cash in.

IMA MIDNIGHT REBEL (8) returns from a spell after four starts to begin her career netted a 3^rd here two starts back. Down the line last start behind PRETTY GOOD REASON, she comes into this without the benefit of a public trial but finds the right first up field to challenge.

FANCY LIKE BARBIE (1) was banished to the trials here two starts back in her first Qld appearance and when returning retreated from a wide gate. Settling handy, she is a podium player in this.

BURTON (4) has had two runs back in his latest campaign, the latest when retreating from gate 6 and striking some trouble in the run. With wide gates in all four career attempts, he has claims here.

SELECTIONS: SHORT LEG SUE (3), IMA MIDNIGHT REBEL (8), FANCY LIKE BARBIE (1), BURTON (4)
SUGGESTED BET: SHORT LEG SUE (3) to win

RACE TWO

SUBTLE CHAY (4) was sent around them from the second line last start and asked to do the work outside the leader. Wide off the track over the latter stages two back when grabbing the silver, he was collared by SWOOPING EAGLE three back. He finds the right maiden to open the account.

EXWHYGEETEE (9) was having an early shot last start and forced to take evasive action before dropping in behind the leader. Holding 2^nd and unable to improve the number in the steward’s room after the race, he has now placed in 3 of his past 4 and despite a tough gate can challenge again.

GOTTALUVASUNDAYSESH (6) will take benefit from his latest outing where he was resuming from a spell. Sent forward to sit parked and grafting out a half-neck 2^nd, he can feature again here.

PAYOUT (8) has grabbed 3^rd in 4 of his past 5 starts, the latest when trying to make a closing raid behind JADES DIAMOND. Trailing through can see him be thereabouts again here.

SELECTIONS: SUBTLE CHAY (4), EXWHYGEETEE (9), GOTTALUVASUNDAYSESH (6), PAYOUT (8)
SUGGESTED BET: SUBTLE CHAY (4) to win

RACE THREE

ARTFUL MASTER (1) will be first up in three years with the now 6YO coming into this with a win and 2 minors from his 6 career starts recorded as a 3YO. Overcoming gate 5 to score here on Oct 17, 2019, he put in a smart trial in readiness for the return and might just pinch this from the gate.

WUNDERLAND (4) is on the back-up from Monday night where he was able to display superior closing speed from the 1x1 trail to take a 1m margin. Runner-up at Tamworth three starts back, he struck trouble at his next appearance. He finds another suitable assignment to throw it down.

OCTOBER RACKETEER (5) eased from gate 5 last start before closing smartly to finish 2m from the winner REEDS VISION. A tidy effort two back behind DOLLARBILL, he has claims from the tough gate.

DELIGHTFUL RAINBOW (9) was obliged to sit parked throughout here on Monday night and was game in holding on for 3^rd behind WUNDERLAND. She has podium claims once again.

RACE FOUR

LITTLEDEE (8) pressed ahead from gate 4 last start and was able to get to the front and once in control see it out for a narrow victory. Just a neck adrift of the winner at headquarters three starts back, she can press through at the start to settle handy and make her play.

ROCCO VARIETY (5) fired off the arm from gate 6 last start to take control and was able to walk them through a 67.2 opening half. Despite the pedestrian pace early, he could not finish them off when finishing 4m away. He can light the fuse again here to throw down the challenge.

CAUGHT OUT (2) can fire some early bullets here to look for the poles or sit in behind the speed. Runner-up at her past two attempts, the latest just a head margin, she has claims again.

DARBY BRIGHTS (9) was sent forward from gate 5 last start to sit parked and after the tough trip was midfield ,7m in arrears of the winner. A passing lane 3^rd two back, she can be joining in late here.

RACE FIVE

NON PASSARE (1) started from inside the second line last time out and eased away from the poles in transit, was then making a closing raid to be just a half-neck from the winner. 3m from ALL THE FOURS two starts back, he has the alley to chase down a win that has proven elusive this season.

HANDSOME HARRY (4) returns from a freshen after just tapering in his past few starts. A winner here five back when eased from gate 6 before descending on them in the stretch to take a 3m margin, it was followed with a 2^nd at the 2040m trip. In this line up he can make a challenge fresh.

KUDOS MASON (5) was having his second Qld start here last time out when securing the trail from inside the second line when 4m astern of the winner. Strong to the line first up, he can join in.

SIGNOR JUJON (7) was making a late dive last start and had to settle for the bronze when a head away from the winner. Attacking the line smartly at The Creek three back, he will be probing.

SUGGESTED BET: NON PASSARE (1) to win

RACE SIX

THE GROGFATHER (4) will have just his second appearance here on The Triangle and finds the right contest after meeting tougher opposition in recent attempts. Doing it the tough way outside the leader last start, he was a beaten fav two back behind SCOTCH EN ICE. This is well within reach.

BRIDGE COIN (7) follows through behind a smart beginner and will be sweating on getting to the passing lane with momentum. Making a closing raid from back in the pack when 4m from KATACHA MAN here last start, it followed a 3m 3^rd to CANT BLUFF YOU. He will be probing for open air.

THE IRISH EAGLE (3) burrowed through to hold them wide here two starts back and despite copping plenty of heat was able to claw his way to victory. Fading out last start, he can make a play here.

KATACHA MAN (6) made them pay here last week after he was able to keep them wide early and then walk a 62.6 opening half on the way to leading throughout. The gate dents his hopes this time.

SUGGESTED BET:  THE GROGFATHER (4) to win

RACE SEVEN

VERMONT (8) is in search of a hat-trick of wins after successive victories over this trip. Angled to the inside from a second line gate last time, she was able to work into space and attack the line in the closing stages for a neck margin. Overcoming the second line in both wins, the threepeat is on.

JAYDES TERROR (1) was back in the pack and unable to get warm over the closing stages last start which followed a midfield return after being snookered in the run. Scoring a tidy win here four starts back, she lands all the options from this alley to issue the challenge.

DUKE (2) pressed ahead from gate 4 over this trip three runs back and was able to graft out a tidy win. Trying to make ground at his past two, settling closer to the action can help his chances.

GETALOADATHISBRO (7) found the front last start and after pinching a steady second panel was unable to see it out when 2m in arrears of the winner. Needing some gaps here, he will be searching.

SELECTIONS: VERMONT (8), JAYDES TERROR (1), DUKE (2), GETALOADATHISBRO (7)
SUGGESTED BET: VERMONT (8) to win

RACE EIGHT

MYSTICAL JAZZ (3) charged off the arm from gate 6 here two starts back and from the front was able to take them all the way. Beaten by the outside second line at The Creek last start, she gets back to The Triangle where she has a win and a pair of minors in four attempts and the gate to help.

ALLSTAR SEA (2) was returning from a spell over the AP mile two starts back when he grabbed the silver from the pocket trail. Trailing them home last start from the second line, he will be tightened from the two runs back and with the improved gate secures his chance to throw it down.

MY SECRET BEACH (8) has been runner-up in 3 of his past 4 starts, the latest when charging forward from gate 5 last start and trying to see it out. Collared in the closing stages, he can chime in again.

THE CASUAL GOOSE (6) is given no favours but has been hitting some nice arears including a win here last start after pressing on from the second line to take control. He has claims despite the gate.

RACE NINE

COPY WRITER (1) should appreciate a return to The Triangle after campaigning on the big deck in recent weeks where she has chased a mare’s qualifying win at her past three. Grabbing the bronze behind CALA JANE last time, she was only 1m away three back and has all the options here.

GINGER MICKY (7) darted across from gate 4 last start to find the front and once in control was able to take them all the way. A steady opening half before putting it out of reach through a solid last 800m was the scenario last start and fitter from that 3^rd up run will be searching for closing gaps.

NEVADA YANKEE (2) went straight to the front here last start from gate 3 and was never in danger thereafter in claiming a 7m margin with a smart last 800m split. He gets his chance again from this gate.

STORMTIDE (4) bounced out in front last time and from the front was able to take them all the way with 5m to spare. Not suited off the second line at Marburg two runs back, he is a podium hope.

RACE TEN

NO DOUBT (2) was runner-up at The Creek last start from gate 1 where he took the trail after a slick opening panel before running the winner HY VOLTAGE to a head. Buried from inside the second line two starts back, he has the speed to find the poles and can look to take them all the way.

THE SPORTZ STAR (1) was hemmed away from inside the second line last start over this trip and could not get into the contest over the closing stages as GELDOF arrived. Placed in 3 of his 5 on this deck, he can secure the perfect trip here to issue the closing challenge.
 
JUST JOSHIN (5) has a pair of wins from his past 4, the latest here last start from this same gate where he owned superior closing power to descend and pull clear. He is right in the fight again.

MISTY CREEK (4) was a winner here three runs back when easing into the 1x1 trail from gate 5. Collared over the 2280m two back, he was freshened before a 6m 4^th here on Monday.
