Form Analysis: Redcliffe Aug 16

RACE ONE

RIVERINA FLASH (7) is still chasing his first Qld victory but might just have found the conditions to strike. Following a good beginner, if able to settle leaders back, he will just need the lane with some momentum to take his shot. Beaten by gate 6 last start but not far away, he can snipe.

TORQUE IN CONTROL (2) started from inside the second line last time out and was locked away before sprinting hard to the line when the gap arrived to claim a 2m margin. Beaten by wider second line gates at her previous two starts, she can be handy enough to issue a challenge here.

JUST ONE GOOD ONE (9) forced his way to the front last time out where he was able to take them all the way. Back to the second line in this line up makes it a tougher ask.

TULHURST CUDDLES (4) faced this gate last start and was griding it out first over when finishing 5m in arrears of the winner. A tough 3^rd here three runs back, she will be in for the fight once again.

SELECTIONS: RIVERINA FLASH (7), TORQUE IN CONTROL (2), JUST ONE GOOD ONE (9), TULHURST CUDDLES (4)

RACE TWO

HEY MISTER TAYLOR (2) has placed at his past three, the latest from gate 5 where he was sent out as the fav and was making a late raid to be under 2m from the winner. Beaten a similar margin two starts back when making a strong run from the second line, he looks up to the task.

SMIRKS LIKA BOSS (6) will be first up for the Shawn Grimsey barn off the back of a freshen. Starting fav last time out in a much tougher contest when midfield, he took them all the way from gate 2 when deep in the red here two starts back. The wide gate stings, but he is a classy customer.

FORGIVE ME (1) fired off this gate last start and from the front was able to see it out with a half-neck to spare. Placed in both prior runs, she has the options to chase back-to-back victories.

OCTOBER RACKETEER (7) has a pair of wins form his past four starts, the latest when descending on them from the 1x1 trail to score. With the economical trip, he will be probing for the openings.

SELECTIONS: HEY MISTER TAYLOR (2), SMIRKS LIKA BOSS (6), FORGIVE ME (1), OCTOBER RACKETEER (7)
SUGGESTED BET: Exotics 1-2-6-7

RACE THREE

BETTYS GOLD CLASS (3) made the most of gate 1 last start when burrowing through to lead and take them all the way. Making late ground for the bronze three back, she was snagged to the rear two back from gate 4 and never a factor. Up close to the action, she can capitalise in a tougher contest.

ROCKSLIDE (6) was snookered three back from gate 1 last start and searching for the openings when 5m astern of the subsequent winner HOLD ONTO YA BLING. Retreating from gate 4 here two starts back before making some nice late metres, the gate is an ask, but he can chime in against these.

ROCK NIEN (5) was sent forward from gate 5 last start and doing it the tough way was grinding it out to the line in holding on for the silver behind MERGE RIGHT. He can be thereabouts once again.

FIRE AND ICE (1) was chasing from inside the second line last time out but could not sprint when the power went on. With all the options this time, he can be in position to feature.

SELECTIONS: BETTYS GOLD CLASS (3), ROCKSLIDE (6), ROCK NIEN (5), FIRE AND ICE (1)

RACE FOUR

O B LEGAL (3) was a winner of a similar graded contest here two starts back when fired off the arm from this same gate to set the speed and take them all the way. Buried away last start after retreating from gate 4, he has a great record here on The Triangle and can look to build on it.

LUXURY LAD (7) has two wins from his past three starts, both wins over the AP mile. Rattling late to arrive three starts back after starting from outside the second line, he took them all the way last start from gate 3 in a PB. He just needs the gap to arrive with track to work with.

FLO RYDA (1) was asked to hang tough outside the leader last starts and was not too far from them. This is a big step in grade but with the offset of the gate can be in position to feature.

SCOTCH EN ICE (8) will strip fitter from his latest appearance where he was returning from a spell and made some nice metres in the closing stages. With the right trip, he has podium claims.

SELECTIONS: O B LEGAL (3), LUXURY LAD (7), FLO RYDA (1), SCOTCH EN ICE (8)
SUGGESTED BET: O B LEGAL (3) to win

RACE FIVE

VOODOO FELLA (9) started from inside the second line last start and was soon snookered in the run and needing a gap that did not arrive when chasing home behind SHADYS CULLECT. A winner from gate 4 here three starts back after securing the 1x1 trail, the tempo looks right for him to arrive.

JUSTROLLINGAROUND (3) overcome the outside second line gate here two starts back, finishing hard over the top to pull clear to a 7m margin. Asked to roll the sleeves and do it the tough way last start when beaten a half-neck, she might need to grind it out again to issue the challenge.

PAGO PAGO (1) was beaten by the outside second line last start when trying to make a wide run over the concluding stages. Finishing hard to be just 2m away, he is nice touch and is right in this.

HIGH ON MONTANA (5) has no favours from the wider gate for this assignment but taking his last start out of the equation, has been going well enough prior to be a factor for this contest.

SELECTIONS: VOODOO FELLA (9), JUSTROLLINGAROUND (3), PAGO PAGO (1), HIGH ON MONTANA (5)
SUGGESTED BET: VOODOO FELLA (9) to win

RACE SIX

MISTER HART (2) started from inside the second line last start and was soon angled off the inside to make a wide run over the closing stages. Making the closing dive to be just a blister short of the biscuits, he can flex some arm hustle early here and look to see it out for his 20^th Redcliffe victory.

GRIGORA (1) was sent forward from gate 5 last start and despite the tough trip was in for the fight when holding on for the silver as GABBYS IDEAL took them all the way. A starchy winner here two runs back, he can be stalking the speed here ready to strike.

CHANCELESS CENTURY (7) settled in the 1x1 trail last start and chased home to be 4m adrift of the winner. With the chance of a soft trip behind the speed, he can chase the lane to grab a minor.

FOVEAUX MAJOR (8) descended on them after retreating from gate 5 here two starts back and pulling away to a 5m margin. With the right running line cover, he will be finishing hard.

SELECTIONS: MISTER HART (2), GRIGORA (1), CHANCELESS CENTURY (7), FOVEAUX MAJOR (8)
SUGGESTED BET:  MISTER HART (2) to win


 

RACE SEVEN

GABBYS IDEAL (6) made the most of gate 1 last start to burrow through, hold the front and see it out with a smart last 800. Bets of the chasers behind the smart FRAYA three runs back, the gate makes it a tough ask, but with the early hustle to find position can take her chance.

DIEGO DELGADO (7) made the most of the ace here last week, darting through to hold the front and take them all the way with 6m to spare on the wire. This gate makes it a tricky ask as he could be in danger of being locked in the box, but he just needs a half glimpse of space to throw it down.

MATAI REACTOR (5) is never far away in this level of battle and was able to overcome this same gate last start when rattling late to score. With the right tempo he can descend on them.

FLASH FREDDIE (8) angled to the inside from this gate last start and chased late to be midfield as GABBYS IDEAL took them all the way. He will be probing for the openings again.

SELECTIONS: GABBYS IDEAL (6), DIEGO DELGADO (7), MATAI REACTOR (5), FLASH FREDDIE (8)
SUGGESTED BET: GABBYS IDEAL (6) to win

RACE EIGHT

ABBEY DIADEMA (8) was sent out as the fav here last week from this same gate and in a luckless result never spotted a gap when needed. 6m astern of the winner, she met a similar fate three runs back when needing a gap that did not present. This looks the right set up for her to cash in.

ROLLONX (7) has placed in three of his past five starts, the latest when trying to see it out from the front but collared in the closing stages. Needing a slice of luck form this alley, he looks set to be locked away, but if the gap opens, can dart through to issue a challenge.

SABOTAGE (4) started inside the second line last start where she was locked away and when the gap opened darted through to grab the bronze. Positioning cheaply will be key to her chances.

OFFICE BAD BOY (6) worked forward from gate 3 here three runs back and takin control was able to see it out in claiming a 4m margin. Wide gates have stung in both runs since and hurt again here.

SELECTIONS: ABBEY DIADEMA (8), ROLLONX (7), SABOTAGE (4), OFFICE BAD BOY (6)
SUGGESTED BET: ABBEY DIADEMA (8) to win

RACE NINE

RISKY BUZINESS (3) darted out to set the speed last start over the 2040 but was out of bullets a long way from the judge. Snagged off the gate over the same trip two starts back, he should relish a return to the sprint trip in the 30-40 grade and gets his chance to chalk up another victory.

CHASIN DREAMZ (6) was a winner in this grade from this gate three starts back when sent forward to take control and able to hang on for a narrow victory. Out of the money in both runs since that win, she can force the issue again in the early stages to throw it down.

AWAYOVERNIGHT (8) will move to the inside second line with the early scratching and from there will need a slice of luck to see some open space. If the gap opens he can chime into the money.

CIRCLE LINE (9) was sent around them from the second line last start and faded late to be midfield. IN this grade, he is never too far away.

SELECTIONS: RISKY BUZINESS (3), CHASIN DREAMZ (6), AWAYOVERNIGHT (8), CIRCLE LINE (9)
SUGGESTED BET: RISKY BUZINESS (3) to win

RACE TEN

STARS OF AMERICA (1) is moving closer to opening the account after successive placings, the latest when using the passing lane to grab the silver behind LAST CALL. He moves to the front line after facing the inside second line at his past two and looks to have found optimal conditions.

HEZA BLING (8) has placed at his past two starts, the latest when settled in the 1x1 trail from this same gate and trying to rally over the closing stages as LAST CALL took the prize. Runner-up behind PRIOROTY BETTING here two starts back, he can be issuing the closing challenge.

TAKE COURAGE (3) settled in the trail last start and was trying to make a late rally when midfield behind LAST CALL. A 2YO tackling the older performers, she can be thereabouts again.

SAINT LOUIS BEAT (6) has good speed out of the machine and if allowed to let slide could go close to clearing them here. Holding on for the bronze here two starts back, he can feature.

SELECTIONS: STARS OF AMERICA (1), HEZA BLING (8), TAKE COURAGE (3), SAINT LOUIS BEAT (6)
SUGGESTED BET: STARS OF AMERICA (1) to win
