RACE SEVEN
First up in Qld lasts start, FIRESTORM RED (10) faced a wide second line gate at the middle trip and was sent forward to sit parked in the early stages. Grafting it out and just missing the money behind SEND IT, he will need to come wide again at some stage here, but a return to the mile aids his chances.
STORMTIDE (1) was sent out as the fav last start from this gate in Saturday night company and taking the trail, was 3m from the winner when missing the money. Runner-up to JAZZY STAR two starts back, he snares all the options to throw down the challenge.
ROCKS OR DIAMONDS (8) resumes from a spell and slides into veterans’ grade first up after turning 7YO. If able to settle in the trail, his chances will improve, and he can be chiming in.
CARDLESFROMHEAVEN (9) could not get warm last start at the middle trip as SEND IT pulled clear. Beaten by gate 7 the start prior when retreating off the arm, he can be joining in.
SELECTIONS: FIRESTROM RED (10), STORMTIDE (1), ROCKS OR DIAMONDS (8), CARDLESFROMHEAVEN (9)
SUGGESTED BET: FIRESTORM RED (10) to win
