BEST BET - #2 - John Rambo
John Rambo is first up here for Tony Gollan and ran very well when he was first up in his only campaign last time out so I think off the back of a recent trial where he was moving along quite nicely, albeit ridden quietly, I think that he should go well here. He’s already won one and placed runner up in two of his four career starts so I think the talent is there undoubtedly and regardless of what happens he should be strong here.
THE DANGER - #4 - Flying Mikki
All you can do is win and that is what Flying Mikki has done in her lone career start thus far when stepping out at this track and trip in August and sitting two wide the trip before taking over at the 200m and never being in doubt from there in a very impressive debut. She’s had heaps of trials to lead her back into racing and I think she has been placed here with some real intent so go close.
VALUE BET - #8 - The Lions' Gate (ROUGHIE OF THE DAY)
The Lions’ Gate resumed off of a long 32 week break for Matty Dunn and looked very strong at Eagle Farm a fortnight ago when doing so, so I am not knocking him at all off of that. He jumped awkwardly there but recovered well through the run until getting his chance in the straight and working home very well but his first up condition combined with the tough run just told late when headed into third. Go close here now.
