RACE EIGHT
Another 2040 contest that will likely be a hurdle too high for many of these. ROCCO VARIETY (4) can only boast a solitary victory beyond 1850, but he finds the conditions to look for another. Forcing the issue here three starts back and pressing to the front, releasing, and slugging it out for the bronze. He can claim the last race raffle.
SWINGING GEORGE (8) has been starting from tough gates and lands another second line alley here. Making some late metres over the AP mile two back behind CAPTAIN OH CAPTAIN, he could not get warm last start. With the right trail, he might just improve on his middle trip figures to challenge.
ALWAYS AT NIGHT (1) chimed in late to grab the bronze at Kilcoy two starts back and from this gate can secure the easy trip and be ready to chase a podium result.
CIRCLE LINE (5) found them a little too slippery at HQ last time out when finishing at the rear. Just out of the money two back, he can chase some minor money from the tough gate.
SELECTIONS: ROCCO VARIETY (4), SWINGING GEORGE (8), ALWAYS AT NIGHT (1), CIRCLE LINE (5)
SUGGESTED BET: ROCCO VARIETY (4) to win
