RACE ONE
NR 40 to 43:
The picket fence is building nicely for veteran pacer HEAR THE CALL (9) with three straight wins at Redcliffe. Tonight, he must overcome the outside back row draw to prevail once again.
AFTER DARN (7) will relish a peg line trip in transit, with any luck in running she can go very close to taking the prize.
OUR RUBY ROSE (1) has early speed and most likely takes up the running here over the short trip. She will be clinging on in the stretch.
JET FORCE (8) may drop to 3 pegs to take the shortest way home, he ran on well at his last start behind Shakatie.
SELECTIONS: HEAR THE CALL (9), AFTER DARN (7), OUR RUBY ROSE (1), JET FORCE (8)
SUGGESTED BET: QUINELLA 1, 7 & 9
RACE TWO
NR 53 to 60 1780m:
Solid contest with multiple winning chances.
CHAINLINC (6) was a last start winner in 1.56.0 at this track and trip coming from near last at the bell, he will have to repeat the dose to claim back-to-back victories.
ARTISTIC SAINT (8) is racing in fine form, just missing out last week by a neck when leading up the 3 wide line over the middle trip in solid time.
SO AM I (5) maps awkwardly again from another poor barrier, he may be forced to go back and come with one run tonight.
THE IRISH EAGLE (4) from this exact draw pressed forward to lead last week. Breaking 30 for every quarter he weakened in the stretch, but it was a solid performance all the same.
SELECTIONS: CHAINLINC (6), ARTISTIC SAINT (8), SO AM I (5), THE IRISH EAGLE (4)
SUGGESTED BET: CHAINLINC to win

NR 49 to 52 1780m:

FAVREAU (7) is racing well for in form trainer-driver Jonah Hutchinson, he looks well poised once again.

SHAKALAKABOOMBOOM (7) relishes Redcliffe, another mare racing well and has solid stats at the trip. A win would not surprise with luck in transit.
BORDERLINE (3) has won at 2 of her last 3 starts, she maps a tad awkwardly tonight but can figure in the numbers again.
MAJOR TRALEE (2) is doing good things at the present, finishing top 2 at his last 6 starts. The only query here is the 0/12 record at the distance.

SUGGESTED BET: MON BEL ANGE to win
RACE FIVE
NR 30 to 40 1780m:
MATAI REACTOR (8) chased hard behind FEEL THE THRILL last week when running second, the run was full of merit after being close to 10 lengths off the leaders. Tonight, with the chance to sit closer in the run he can go one better.
TULHURST CUDDLES (6) was back in the winners stall last week with a last stride victory. She is in the mix again despite the tough gate.
SUBTLE ADVICE (4) was shuffled back last and his spot in transit, despite this fact he worked to the line nicely.
FURIOSA (2) has early speed and may jump on the bunny and give rivals something to catch.
She is looking for career victory number two.

SUGGESTED BET: MATAI REACTOR to win

SHESFEELINSPECIAL (2) has the speed to zip over and find the marker line, running a place is on the cards.
ASH AND JO (6) was good winning two starts and then things didn’t pan out in a slowly run race last week. She can bounce back with an improved showing.

SUGGESTED BET: Quinella 4 + 9
