BEST BET - #3 - Tricketeer (NEXT BEST)
Interesting little race we have here to open the card and I am keen to have something on Tricketeer who should relish getting out to the 1200m. THe Michael Nolan trained runner looked like she was going to thrash them when resuming over the 1000m at the Sunshine Coast but he only started going just too late in the piece to come second but there was a big gap to third there. He gets in well at the weights here, can make his own luck and if responds a bit sharper this time when asked for it I think he wins.
THE DANGER - #4 - Oceans Of Energy
Oceans of Energy is a very smart filly for Matt Dunn that debuted at the races at Grafton over the 1000m under Andrew Mallyon and he only had to ask for a bit of effort there when she motored away to clear the field and score in style. She hasn’t done too much in the lead up trials to this but clearly the debut run lived up the market expectations and she can improve into this and make it another win.
VALUE BET - #2 - Russian Alliance
Russian Alliance hasn’t done much wrong in his three career starts for the Kemp stable. On debut at his local track of Toowoomba he was far from disgraced when fourth in the field before taking a little break from the races. She’s returned in super order where she showed her class in both of her return runs, winning after doing similar in both, letting down hard on the turn from wherever she lands up in the run to score impressively. She can complete the hat trick now.
