GOING: N

LADBROKES MATES MODE POTS PACE 1660m

Track: GOOD      

BURNS BAY (5) finished fourth at this track two runs ago before finishing fifth at his latest appearance over 1660m at this track, beaten 10 metres. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player but does need to overcome a wider draw than previous starts. BOTTICELLI (9) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1660m at this track, finishing third and just 6 metres from the winner. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. APHRODITE (3) disappointed last time when ninth over 1660m at this track after a tough run and settling at the rear. Can atone. QUIK CHANGE (7) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him finish second over 1780m at Redcliffe.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Hell Of A Hand at Redcliffe over 1780m in a NR 47 to 52 on July 3 at $4.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Monsieur Delacour at Redcliffe over 1780m in a NR 52 to 57 on July 9 at $10. Can continue the good form and take this out.
