RACE SIX
With a brilliant 7 from 10 record here at The Creek, this could be the last Aus appearance for SLIP THE HUNDY (3) who is on his way to North America. Returning for a solitary run in each of his past two campaigns, claiming solid wins on each occasion, he has trialled smartly and can get some on-board spending money for his flight.
IM FEELING FIREY (2) took the trail last start in a veteran’s event from gate 1 when fighting on for the bronze behind subsequent winner KANYE CRUSADER. Game after working hard two starts back, he can be close enough to the action to issue a challenge.
CHEETAH LODGE (1) should appreciate an improved gate after his past three have been from wide out. Too far back last start, he powered home to score here three back and will be stalking awaiting the openings.
DAZZLE ME (9) spent a bit trying to get across from gate 4 last start and was left exposed early before finding cover. Descending on them here three back to score a smart win, he can chime in.
SELECTIONS: SLIP THE HUNDY (3), IM FEELING FIREY (2), CHEETAH LODGE (1), DAZZLE ME (9)
SUGGESTED BET: SLIP THE HUNDY (3) to win
