Form Analysis: Redcliffe Oct 10

RACE ONE

With the trotters rarely traversing The Triangle, THE REAPER (6) knows his way around here and can boast the same number of starts on this deck as the rest of the field combined. Winning four times here, his recent form has been strong, including a win two starts back and he can capitalise.

NATTY PAGGER (5) found the 1x1 trail from the 30m tape last start and made a closing play where he was able to grab the bronze behind GETOVERROVER. 6m from INSTANT DELIGHT the start prior along the passing lane, he finds the right set up here to issue a challenge.

REGAL APPOINTMENT (7) tackled stronger company last start when taking the trail but unable to go with them over the closing stages. A previous winner from two attempts here, he can chime in.

ANDOVERLOV (9) has been runner-up at his past three in succession and will need to overcome the big 50m impost to go one better. He looked to have every chance last week and can feature again.

SELECTIONS: THE REAPER (6), NATTY PAGGER (5), REGAL APPOINTMENT (7), ANDOVERLOV (9)
SUGGESTED BET: THE REAPER (6) to win

RACE TWO

Faced with an inside second line gate at her first appearance since crossing the Tasman and sent out as the fav, ILLAVABUBBLES (1) was shuffled to a three back position and needing plenty to go her way. Holding on for the bronze when 4m from APHRPDOTE, the gate improvement is a huge plus.

TURBO TOMMY (7) started from outside the second line over the sprint trip last time out and angled back to the poles in search of the short cuts. Making good metres in the closing stages to be 6m astern of the winner, he can secure the soft trip from the start here to issue a challenge.

SOHO CASABLANCA (5) has not had much luck with barriers in recent starts, lining up off the second line at his past two. With another wide gate here, the smaller field will help his podium claims.

BALBOA SHANNON (2) was sent to sit parked last start and after the tough trip from the wide gate, just faded over the closing stages. He might need to roll the sleeves again here.

SELECTIONS: ILLAVABUBBLES (1), TURBO TOMMY (7), SOHO CASABLANCA (5), BALBOA SHANNON (2)
SUGGESTED BET: ILLAVABUBBLES (1) to win

RACE THREE

Exposed early before taking cover last start over the AP 2138, LANAI (2) just could not go on with it over the closing stages. Asked to hang tough outside the leader two starts back when a beaten fav, he can look to take control here and from the front be gripping on.

FOREVER MOMENTS (1) took the trail form this gate last start and used the passing lane to finish 4m from the winner KEAYANG MARVEN. Buried away two back when midfield behind EURO BEAT, she will be in behind the speed again here awaiting the gaps to take a shot.

ALTA SENSATION (7) was luckless last start after retreating to find the poles from gate 5 and hitting dead ends. Taking his first look at this deck, he will secure the soft trip and be probing.

KEAYANG MARVEN (5) cashed in here on Thursday when tackling a similarly graded contest and finishing best from a second line gate. Despite moving wide off the front line, he can chase a repeat.

SELECTIONS: LANAI (2), FOREVER MOMENTS (1), ALTA SENSATION (7), KEAYANG MARVEN (5)
SUGGESTED BET: Exotics 1-2-5-7

RACE FOUR

Skirting the system to maintain his place in this maiden line up, ITS ONE LIFE (5) broke through for victory at HQ on Friday when leading throughout. Looking to be out of bullets swinging for home, he rallied strongly to kick back and score. Runner-up to IRON CLAD the start prior, this is within reach.

FOUR FEATHERS (2) has now placed at his past two, the latest from gate 5 on this deck when making a late raid to get within a head of the winner ART OF ROCK. Just 3m away at Marburg two starts back, he has the gate to get handy in the early stages and throw down a challenge.

DEEP REGRET (4) was able to slide in behind the leader last time out over the AP mile and using the passing lane held on for the bronze. Unplaced in three previous attempts here, he can grab a minor.

HELL OF A HAND (8) was sent to the post as fav last start at Marburg where she was first up since April. Grabbing 2^nd from the 1x1 trail when under 2m from the winner, she will strip fitter here.

SELECTIONS: ITS ONE LIFE (5), FOUR FEATHERS (2), DEEP REGRET (4), HELL OF A HAND (8)
SUGGESTED BET: ITS ONE LIFE (5) to win

RACE FIVE

A typically wide open up to 40 rated contest here where MISS PAU (2) might just be able to pinch the prize. Closing out in nice order to grab the silver two starts back behind BABY GINNIE, she was not suited over the 2138 last start at The Creek. With the right trip, she can arrive.

PERFECT FEELING (9) was taken back from gate 6 last start over the AP mile and was too far back to eat into the deficit as IT AINT ROYAL controlled it from the front. Making late metres to grab the bronze two starts back, he can be chiming in here to issue a challenge.

LANCELOT BROMAC (3) broke his duck on this deck at his 29^th attempt the last time he raced here back in May. That was also his last victory and settling in the running line, will keep chasing.

DATSINAHURRI (8) resumes from a spell after being beaten in red figures last start. With 13 victories on this deck, she can secure the right trail in the early stages to feature.

SELECTIONS: MISS PAU (2), PERFECT FEELING (9), LANCELOT BROMAC (3), DATSINAHURRI (8)
SUGGESTED BET:

RACE SIX

Faced with the outside front line last time out, OUR UNCLE NEV (1) made an error and was banished to the trials. Earning the return with a slick piece of work, three starts back he led throughout over the middle trip. A three-time winner on this deck, he can burrow through to take them all the way.

SISTA BLISS (7) maps for the perfect trip in behind the speed and will await the passing lane to take her shot. Striking trouble last start after easing from a wide gate, she was sound to the line when midfield to NEVADA YANKEE two starts back. The gate is the big asset here.
 
MUCH BETTOR (8) loves a soft trip off speed and from this gate can dart down to the poles. Grabbing 3^rd at his past two in succession, the latest behind TAIRLAW TOLL, he can chime in.

ROCKNROLL TIMES (9) grabbed a second division qualifier on Saturday night when making a strong closing burst to arrive on the wire. He will be wide at some stage again here.

SELECTIONS: OUR UNCLE NEV (1), SISTA BLISS (7), MUCH BETTOR (8), ROCKNROLL TIMES (9)
SUGGESTED BET:  OUR UNCLE NEV (1) to win


 

RACE SEVEN

The early speed to find position might just be all the difference for TUNGSTEN TERROR (2) to grab another victory from this alley. Not suited over the middle trip at HQ last start, he was buried in the run from inside the second line two starts back. He can take control here and look to grip on.

IMA BIRUBI BOY (3) fired out to find the front three starts back over the AP mile when collared in the closing strides by TRALEE MAXIE. Out of the money in both appearances since, the latest when striking trouble in the run, he can flash some early hustle and might even grab the trail to challenge.
 
CRIME TIME (1) is let down by his lack of arm hustle and will be trying to rev up here to hold the trail spot. Finding space to break free and score at Marburg last start, if the gap arrives in time, he can cash in.

VERMONT (8) was locked away on the poles last start and found the space to break free and rattle late to be under 5m from the winner DELIGHTFUL RAINBOW. A return to The Triangle is a big plus.

SELECTIONS: TUNGSTEN TERROR (2), IMA BIRUBI BOY (3), CRIME TIME (1), VERMONT (8)
SUGGESTED BET: Exotics 1-2-3-8

RACE EIGHT

Second up from a spell, the set up looks right for HOLME BOY (1) to chase his fourth victory on this deck. Beaten by a wide gate when resuming and snagged to the rear, he possesses good early hustle and with his previous three wins here all secured when leading throughout, he gets his chance.

MONTEREY JACK (6) is afforded no favours from the outside paint but can do some work in his runs when needed. Making good metres over the latter stages from a second line gate last start to grab the silver, he can make a play for the prize here.

SHEZ GOT BLING (4) settled back in the pack over the 2138 last start and had the closing speed to descend on them for a narrow victory. 3^rd two starts back, she is never too far away in this type of contest.

TOMMY BLIGH (5) has hit the board at his past three in succession, the latest when closing out from back in the pack for the bronze. Arriving from outside the second line two starts back, he has claims.

SELECTIONS: HOLME BOY (1), MONTEREY JACK (6), SHEZ GOT BLING (4), TOMMY BLIGH (5)

RACE NINE

After three runs back from a break, BACK IN TWENTY (3) should be tightened from the outings and importantly finds a big improvement in barriers. Drawn gate 6 once and the second line twice in the three return appearances, he can look to force it in the early stages here to chase the prize.

OUR MAJOR DAY (9) was sent around them from outside the second line last start to sit parked and was just out of the money after the tough trip. Sitting parked from outside the front line the start prior when under 3m from the winner, he can overcome the second line to challenge.

KASH US BACK (5) was buried away from inside the second line two starts back and rattled late to be just 1m from the winner. Beaten by gate 7 last start, he can be chiming in here.

COMMODORE JUJON (8) has some tidy figures on this deck which show six wins and 10 minors. Midfield last start behind TAIRLAW TOLL, he can follow through in the early stages to chime in.

SELECTIONS: BACK IN TWENTY (3), OUR MAJOR DAY (9), KASH US BACK (5), COMMODORE JUJON (8)
