RACE ONE
DAPPER (8) will strip fitter from his outing here last Thursday when returning from a spell. Pressing forward to find position from gate 5, he was within 4m of the winner when they crossed the line. Some early spice in the run will aid his chances and he can either be saved for one shot or work around them early to capitalise.
BEEF CITY BLAZE (1) was building towards a win after 3 successive placed performances and franked that assessment when finishing over the top of them to score here last time out. Settling in the 1x1 trail, he worked home over the top to a 4m victory. With the economical trip, he can be ready to challenge once again.
RIVERLEIGH ROCKET (6) is probably better suited if this was a sprint event, yet he has a strong record on the track that shows a top-3 in 9 of his 11 here at the Peninsula. Claiming the bronze here 2 starts back, he can be thereabouts.
MISTER HART (7) will need a slice of luck at some stage to find open space, but he is going well with not much really going his way. Probing in behind them for space last start when not too far away, he will be searching for gaps again here.
SELECTIONS: DAPPER (8), BEEF CITY BLAZE (1), RIVERLEIGH ROCKET (6), MISTER HART (7)
SUGGESTED BET: DAPPER (8) to win
