Form Analysis: Redcliffe May 09

RACE ONE

In a race where many of these are taking their first look at The Triangle, THE REAPER (5) lobs in with placings at three of his past four starts and importantly is a four-time winner on this deck. Chasing last start when 8m behind TOP OF THE MOMENT to hold 3^rd, he finds the conditions to score.

NATTY PAGGER (7) has failed to his the board in nine attempts here, including three starts back where he took on the pacers in a Trot Rods event. Finishing in 5^th when beaten the same margin at his past two starts behind TOP OF THE MOMENT, he finds the opposition to issue a challenge.

SET ME FREE (6) has had a mixed season and will line up here fresh after fading late in the McNeil Final last start behind HAMMER SON. Taking her first look at the track, she can chime in fresh.

INSTANT DELIGHT (9) is the query runner, making her first appearance in Aus after arriving from the Deep South of NZ. With a pair of AP trials to prepare, the pacing bred mare stays under watch.

SELECTIONS: THE REAPER (5), NATTY PAGGER (7), SET ME FREE (6), INSTANT DELIGHT (9)
SUGGESTED BET: THE REAPER (5) to win

RACE TWO

With a single placing in his three appearances here, JACCKA WATCH (5) arrives in much stronger form than at each point of those other three. Best of the chasers last start when runner-up to RILEYS MOMENT, his effort four runs back in the McNeil Final was huge. He is right up to taking this.

HAMMER SON (2) was making late metres last time out over the AP 2138 after starting form the front tape and finishing 2m from the winner MILLY AN EYRE. A winner off the front tape four runs back when finishing best to score, settling handy here can see him positioned to throw it down.

CALL ME TROUBLE (8) has the 40m to overcome and might just be a risk on this track. Responsible for some huger performances at The Creek in recent starts, if he can step and trot, he looms large.

ALDEBARAN MISTY (3) makes her Qld debut for the Butler stable, arriving a six-time winner. With three of those wins in a smart 3YO season, she will be second up from a spell and is right in this.

RACE THREE

SAINT JUJON (2) was back in the pack and trying to chase when the speed went on last time when well covered behind OLLIE OLLIE. Placed her previous four in succession including a late charging half-neck deficit behind SARASUN, she can be close enough and this line up be a huge threat.

MORETTA (1) was forced to do it the tough way first over last time out but continued to fight to the wire when 4m in arrears of the winner in holding 2^nd. A tough 3^rd behind TEAM SPORT here two starts back, she has the gate advantaged and can burrow through to claim the maiden breaker.



BLING US DELIGHT (3) secures his best gate after three runs back from a spell have seen him not be treated well. Snagged back from gate 5 last time, he can get handy this time to feature.

AUNTY BEC (5) was wide off the track over the closing stages last time when chasing in vain as TEAM SPORT controlled it in front. The gate dents her chances here.

SELECTIONS: SAINT JUJON (2), MORETTA (1), BLING US DELIGHT (3), AUNTY BEC (5)
SUGGESTED BET: SAINT JUJON (2) to win

RACE FOUR

DONTTELLMEAGAIN (1) was runner-up on debut when a head from the winner LOCHINVAR JEWELLS. Releasing to MORE SASS and holding 4^th in the APG Final, she was then not far from subsequent winner RYLEE RHAYNE BOW. Race experience and the options are both a big advantage.

BETTOR CULLECT (2) is a filly on debut for Grant Dixon by Gotta Go Cullect and is the first foal of Bettor Be Happy. With a solid preparatory trial where she did everything asked of her when finishing off nicely from four back on the poles to claim the trial. She is a big watch first up.

QUIK CHANGE (9) tackled the older horses from outside the front-line last start over the AP mile and was making some nice metres in the latter stages after retreating early. Back to his own age is a plus.

TAKE A CHANCE (5) held on to 4^th when making his debut last time out behind DELE ROW. The gate makes it an ask here, but he should take good benefit from his first appearance.

SUGGESTED BET: DONTTELLMEAGAIN (1) to win

RACE FIVE

A tricky race to line up amongst a field that have all been to the well plenty of times- 1633 times in fact when combining all nine runners. HEAVENLY WISDOM (9) was asked to do it tough last start and fought gamely when holding 2^nd to the handy 3YO QUEENSLANDER. Despite the gate she can arrive.

LITTLEDEE (4) will strip fitter following her return from a spell at Marburg where she was strong to the line in the closing stages to grab the bronze. An all the way winner at this track and trip three runs back, she can settle handy to the action to make a stretch challenge.

LANCELOT BROMAC (7) will step out on this deck for the 29^th time at his 505^th career start but chasing his first win here. Beaten just a head two starts back before a 3m 3^rd last time, he can chime in again.

BERTILS FIREFOX (8) has been in nice touch of late and was making good metres int eh closing stages last start when a 6m 2^nd to BETTING BARON. With he right trip, he can be chiming in.

SELECTIONS: HEAVENLY WISDOM (9), LITTLEDEE (4), LANCELOT BROMAC (7), BERTILS FIREFOX (8)
SUGGESTED BET: HEAVENLY WISDOM (9) to win

RACE SIX

Placed in six of her past seven starts, KEAYANG TARA (1) looks to find the appropriate opposition and set up to claim a breakthrough. Buried three back on the poles last start when finding late space to grab 2^nd behind SPRINGFIELD SPIRIT, the start prior she was just a half-neck away. This looks ideal.

ENGLISH DANCE (8) has been runner-up at his past three in succession, the latest when taking gaps on the passing lane to get within 3m of TORQUE TO THE MUSIC. Just a head away two starts back from inside the second line, he can get the right trip to issue a closing challenge.

OUR UNCLE NEV (2) was sent forward from gate 5 last start over the AP mile and doing it the tough way was grafting it out in finishing 5m from the winner. He can be close enough to feature.

TOMMY BLIGH (7) released from gate 1 here last start after being sent out as the fav. Unable to go with them over the closing stages and fading, his run two back was a tough effort. He can chime in.

SELECTIONS: KEAYANG TARA (1), ENGLISH DANCE (8), OUR UNCLE NEV (2), TOMMY BLIGH (7)
SUGGESTED BET: KEAYANG TARA (1) to win

 

RACE SEVEN

A win here two starts back gave ASHLEE NITRO (9) her 20^th win here on The Triangle to solidify her ranking as the most wins ever at this track by a mare. Making some late metres last start in a mare’s qualifier behind PLATINUM REVOLUTION, a solid tempo will can see her descend on them.

REGAZZO DI TILLY (3) has hit the board in all four starts since returning for his 3YO campaign, the latest from behind the speed and holding 2^nd to FOR REAL LIFE. Beaten a head and then 4m in successive runs behind the smart WISPER A SECRET, he can throw it down to them here.

SOHO CASABLANCA (5) has been runner-up in two of his four on this deck and lines up with a pair of wins in his past three starts. Fighting them off from the front last start, the gate dents the chances.

TORQUE TO THE MUSIC (8) was a strong winner last start when sent forward from outside the front line over the AP mile and taking control was able to see it out. With the right trip, he is right in this.

SELECTIONS: ASHLEE NITRO (9), REGAZZO DI TILLY (3), SOHO CASABLANCA (5), TORQUE TO THE MUSIC (8)
SUGGESTED BET: ASHLEE NITRO (9) to win

RACE EIGHT

SHADOW MINISTER (3) faces a significant class drop to get into this contest. Strong to the line last start when 6m from the winner BETTERTHAN POPSY, he was just a half-head away two back behind subsequent winner SPEAK WITH SAM. He can settle close enough to descend and pinch the prize.

MIKI MAGIC (1) was a winner here four runs back when taking control from gate 2 and once in front fought them off to claim a neck margin over the 2040 trip. Grabbing the bronze behind STRONG RESPONSE two starts back, she found her fellow 3YOs too slick last start. With options she can strike.

ROCK NIEN (8) has placed at his past two starts, the latest when doing plenty of work wide off the track from outside the second line. Under 5m from KARLOO BRADLEY two back, he can feature.

BAILEYS WITH LEGS (2) is chasing a hat-trick after successive all the way wins and three in her past four. Leading throughout over this trip and then at Marburg, she is right in the fight.

SUGGESTED BET: SHADOW MINISTER (3) to win

RACE NINE

A smart winner over the AP 2138 last start when swooping home over the top, HIPSTAR (8) has good figures here on The Triangle and should find the right map to chase another victory. A solid run under the circumstances two starts back from gate 5 behind OUR MAJOR DAY, he can capitalise.

MISTERFREEZE (9) did not have much go his way last start over the 2138 trip at HQ and would have been closer if any gap had of presented. Eased to find position two starts back when trying to make late ground behind LYRICAL GENIUS, he can secure the right cart home here to make a play.

DESPONDENT (1) has some tidy figures here at Redcliffe that show 16: 5-2-4. Not seen in April, he was taken back last start and faced a battle against the tempo behind THE HIGH COMMANDER. The gate is a huge plus.

BITCOIN (4) was strong to the line last start when chasing from deep field to grab 4^th behind HIPSTAR. Under 5m from the winner two starts back, he can be chiming in here.

SELECTIONS: HIPSTAR (8), MISTERFREEZE (9), DESPONDENT (1), BITCOIN (4)
SUGGESTED BET: HIPSTAR (8) to win

RACE TEN

Runner-up in his only previous appearance at this track, ASTERISM (5) has been placed at his past two starts, the latest when making some nice metres wide out around the tight Marburg track. Under 2m from the winner here two starts back, he is going well enough to pinch this.

O B LEGAL (3) claimed a 70Heat here two starts back after settling in the 1x1 trail and claiming a 5m margin over subsequent Saturday night winner OUR ACTION MAN. Beaten by gate 10 in the Final which was controlled in front by MR MCLAREN, he can be close enough to challenge here.

PLAYA BLANCA (1) could not get across from gate 2 last start after having an early look and then was wider when making nice metres to grab 2^nd behind NO DOUBT. With all the options, she can feature.

YOUNG CONQUEROR (7) will be sweating on the 1 wanting to control the tempo and under that scenario would be stalking the speed. A gritty 2^nd last start at Marburg, he will be probing.
