RACE ONE
ALWAYS IN COMMAND (2) was snagged back at the start last time out over the AP mile and settled a long way back in the pack. Making his run wide off the track, he was attacking the line strongly to get within 2m of the winner. Only 5m away 2 starts back, from the gate he looks to get his chance.
LURAH (8) wasn’t hustled early from gate 2 last time out and with the leader setting a solid tempo, the field looked to be struggling to keep in touch. Angled into clear space at the top of the stretch, she powered home strongly to arrive for the prize. Saved for one shot again, she can challenge.
OUR UNCLE ALAN (7) will need his share of luck from this gate as he looks set to be buried in the run. Starting fav 2 starts back he couldn’t go with them and on the back-up from Thurs has some hope.
HOT DOGMA (1) was buried on the pegs here 3 starts back and was best of the chasing pack behind the big winner OUR UNCLE ALAN. With the cosy trip available from the gate, he is an exotic player.
SELECTIONS: ALWAYS IN COMMAND (2), LURAH (8), OUR UNCLE ALAN (7), HOT DOGMA (1)
SUGGESTED BET: ALWAYS IN COMMAND (2) to win
