RACE SEVEN
BEEF CITY STARZZZ (5) was snagged off the arm here two runs back and from deep field made some late metres to be 8m adrift of the winner. Not suited last start at the 2040, he can press ahead here and with the two main players in 5 and 6, look to maintain the advantage.
TRUE GRIT SHADOW (6) faced this same gate last week and was sent forward to sit parked where despite the tough run he was able to grind out the silver when 3m astern of the winner. A similar scenario sets up here and he will be issuing the challenge.
HOIHO (8) is a newcomer to Qld that joins the Jonah Hutchinson barn. The winner of 16 lifetime races, he has not shown his best in recent months, but a change of scenery can revitalise him.
AROONA (3) is still chasing a win in 2023 after 15 attempts have come up short. Releasing last start from gate 1 after burrowing through, he can settle forward here and look for the money.
SELECTIONS: BEEF CITY STARZZZ (5), TRUE GRIT SHADOW (6), HOIHO (8), AROONA (3)
SUGGESTED BET: BEEF CITY STARZZZ (5) to win
