RACE EIGHT
SMOOTH CASH (1) is a five-time winner in the Sunshine State, with four of those here on this deck. Unable to see it out last time over the AP 2138m when under 4m from the winner, he rattled home two back to be under 2m from the winner. He gets every chance from the gate to dictate.
BEACH MAGIC (7) had to ease to secure position last start from gate 3 and was trying to make a closing raid when 3m from the winner. A beaten fav from gate 1 in a slightly tougher contest two starts back, he should stalk the speed and be positioned to issue a closing challenge.
WINDY HILL WALLY (6) will be out to remain undefeated since joining Jack Butler, going back-to-back over this track and trip. Overcoming gate 5 in both victories, he can feature once again.
KNOCKAWARWON (5) is the big query runner, having his first start in over 18 months. A two-time winner from just six NSW appearances, he has trialled nicely in readiness and will derive great benefit from the outing.
SELECTIONS: SMOOTH CASH (1), BEACH MAGIC (7), WINDY HILL WALLY (6), KNOCKAWARWON (5)
SUGGESTED BET: SMOOTH CASH (1) to win
