---|---|---|---|---|
A keen early contest with Redheads Rock and Lammer pushing for the lead with Must and Destination Sydney on their backs. REDHEADS ROCK (8) has gone close all three runs this preparation and was a 9-10F at Gatton the latest. Has to come back 150m but doubt that will bother. Has the blinkers applied again and can break through. LAMMER (6) is a quick improver from the Fogden barn and can prove the danger. Found one too good here the latest as favourite after mucking the start and gets some key gear changes. AVENUE OF HEAVEN (9) is a solid top-three hope with race experience now on board. BETCHA BABY (11) disappointed last time out but back can go close back to easier company. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Redheads Rock.
