RACE FIVE
This is the best line up ever assembled for this race, with the barrier draw opening it up even further with LEAP TO FAME (8) set to start from inside the second line if the emergency is not required. That makes it a much tougher ask at his first Redcliffe appearance, yet he still has the class to restrain and circle them. Each return run this season have been super and he is up to the task.
FUTURE ASSURED (4) has been super in two runs back from a spell, carving out a big mile first up from gate 4 when taking control and then sitting parked from gate 7 second up, again breaking 1.52. This will be his first look at Redcliffe which is a partial concern, but he looks ready for the next step.
SPEAK THE TRUTH (9) is a perfect two from two on this deck and comes into this after a fighting 3rd last start. Asked to sit parked outside LEAP TO FAME at 2138, he was brave. Following through early, he is in the fight.
BETTERZIPPIT (11) will have Brendan Barnes engaged for his first Qld assignment and has been given no favours from outside the second line. Claiming the Nullarbor Slot Race two starts back, the tempo was against him when resuming at Menangle. This is a deep race with plenty of place prospects.
