RACE SEVEN
After looking to dictate in front at the 2138 two starts back, IRON CLAD (2) led until deep stretch when collared late by the quality colt KINGMAN. Scoring a starchy victory last start in slick time when parked at the mile, he has the gate to cash in.
SHEER ARTISTRY (6) is a filly tackling the boys, but her recent form suggests she will be a major player. Attacking the line strongly in the Qld Oaks three runs back when 7m from the winner, she was then a game 2nd from gate 7. Too slippery in front last start, she can look to challenge.
ATTACHMENT (7) is afforded no favours from this gate, but the small field will be of benefit. Strong to the line in last week’s Triad Final when just 5m from BRONSKI ZULU, he is in the mix.
DRAGON (4) settled in the running line from gate 10 last time out and had the closing speed to arrive for a narrow victory against older horses. Back to his own age, he is a podium player here.
SELECTIONS: IRON CLAD (2), SHEER ARTISTRY (6), ATTACHMENT (7), DRAGON (4)
SUGGESTED BET: IRON CLAD (2) to win
