Form Analysis: Redcliffe Aug 23

RACE TWO

NIKALONG HENRY (3) was a winner here 4 starts back when rolling forward from gate 4 to eventually press on and take control and then hold on for a narrow victory. Wide gates have been his undoing in his past 2 starts, the latest when retreating. Settling closer to the action suits.

MISSINMEMATE (8) was sent froward from gate 6 here last start when 2^nd up from a spell and working hard in the run moved up to look a winning hope. Collared in the last strides by SO BOBS YOUR UNCLE, he can trail through to make a challenge in this line up.

THERESACHANCE (5) has the tough gate but should find this easier than his latest outing when not too far from VIRGIL after settling in the pocket trail. With early speed, he can slide across to find position.

SO BOBS YOUR UNCLE (6) found the 1x1 trail from gate 5 last time out and with the good trip was able to make the closing shot a winning one. The gate makes it tough, but he can be swooping once again.

SELECTIONS: NIKALONG HENRY (3), MISSINMEMATE (8), THERESACHANCE (5), SO BOBS YOUR UNCLE (6)
SUGGESTED BET: NIKALONG HENRY (3) to win

RACE THREE

BONNIES CAM (9) started from the 2^nd line last time out at Marburg and with the race controlled in front by the leader and winner MAFFIOSO GIRL, his closing splits were strong wide off the track in grabbing the silver. Gunned down when setting the speed here 2 starts back, he can descend on them.

LA SAFRON (1) overcame gate 6 to claim victory here 4 starts back when finding the right race to cash-in. The 3 runs since that win have been in tougher company and from this gate against these opponents, he looms large from the ace gate.

KATACHA MAN (7) started from gate 9 here last week and was put into the battle in the early stages when sent around to sit parked. Grinding it out, he made one last lunge to get within a flared nostril of success. He will need a rub of the green from this gate.

WESTERN SHOWGIRL (8) took the trail from gate 1 here 2 starts back and via the passing lane was an eyelash from the winner. Only 2m in arrears last start, she will be making a closing play.

SELECTIONS: BONNIES CAM (9), LA SAFRON (1), KATACHA MAN (7), WESTERN SHOWGIRL (8)
SUGGESTED BET: BONNIES CAM (9) to win

RACE FOUR

ILLAWONG DREAMTIME (3) started from inside the 2^nd line last start over the 2138m at headquarters and was soon buried in a race where it just did not work in his favour. Facing some tough gates in the runs previous, he can settle much closer from the good gate to look for a drought breaker.

ARTISTIC SAINT (1) was a winner when leading throughout over the AP mile 6 starts back. Since that win, he has faced a string of tough gates, the latest when retreating from gate 5 to secure position. At his best on the front end, the improved gate gives him the chance to bounce back to winning form.

ROYAL PRINCESS (8) pressed forward in the early stages from gate 4 last start and after being initially outside the leader, secured cover. Finishing best for a smart win, she can feature again here.

MY ULTIMATE HESTON (7) tackled a tough contest last start when looking for shortcuts as LADY AVANA landed a smart win over the AP 2138m. With a cosy trip, he can be chiming in.

SELECTIONS: ILLAWONG DREAMTIME (3), ARTISTIC SAINT (1), ROYAL PRINCESS (8), MY ULTIMATE HESTON (7)

RACE FIVE

FORTYFIVE ROCK (4) was sent around them from the 2^nd line in the early stages last time and obliged to work hard in the run and was trying to fight on when not too far from the winner BEEF CITY STARZZZ. With good early speed he can take a good shot here and looks to get a chance to bounce back to winning form.

COUNTRY RUN (8) angled to the pegs from the 2^nd line last time out and was trying to make a closing play when grabbing the bronze behind BEEF CITY STARZZZ. Moving to inside the 2^nd line here can see him enjoy another easy trip against the poles and can be diving through in the stretch.

STUDLEIGH WILL (1) resumes from a spell after his last appearance back in March. Given a pipe opener at the trials, he lands the gate to get the options and make his play to feature.

BUKTHSYSTEM (5) tackled a tougher AP event last start over the mile and was thereabouts behind the winner STOKER ACE. The wide gate stings but he can feature in this field.

SELECTIONS: FORTYFIVE ROCK (4), COUNTRY RUN (8), STUDLEIGH WILL (1), BUKTHSYSTEM (5)
SUGGESTED BET: Exotics 1-4-5-8

RACE SIX

SWEET LOMBO (6) returns from a freshen, last seen when gunned down from gate 1 here last time out after seemingly having every conceivable after a steady opening half. A winner 2 starts back when showing too much speed up the passing lane, he can overcome the gate to return for the prize.

NON PASSARE (7) was a winner here 4 starts back when finishing hard over the top of them. Again, arriving here 2 starts back when making the closing shot a winning one, he will be probing for the openings to make a closing play.

BETTOR WATCH HIM (2) tried to take them all the way from gate 1 here 2 starts back and was in for the fight when not far from MONTANA FLASH. 4m away last time out, he has the gate to make an early play from the front and gets his chance to make a challenge.

ROWDYS ACE (8) secured a nice trip in behind the speed at The Creek last time out and then had the bullets to fire in the stretch to claim victory. Trailing through here, he will not be too far away.

SELECTIONS: SWEET LOMBO (6), NON PASSARE (7), BETTOR WATCH HIM (2), ROWDYS ACE (8)
SUGGESTED BET: SWEET LOMBO (6) to win

 

RACE SEVEN

GRETELS GIRL (6) has not favours from the wide gate here at her first run since May but does find a winnable contest with many of these searching for form. Never taken off a helmet in a recent trial where she found the line in nice style, the gate is the obvious concern, but she is up to the task.

ALWAYS AT NIGHT (2) will take added benefit from his latest appearance when 2^nd up from a spell. Returning when taking the trail from gate 1 and then making a closing dive to get within a head of the winner, he was 6m in arrears last start. Settling close to the action can see him challenge here.

DOOLITTLE DANDY (9) was asked to roll the sleeves and do it the tough way last start but was up for the challenge when holding on for the bronze. He can be thereabouts once again in this.

LOOKS JUST RIGHT (8) worked across to find the 1x1 trail over the AP mile 3 starts back and chased hard to hold on for the silver. With the right trip he can chime in here.

SELECTIONS: GRETELS GIRL (6), ALWAYS AT NIGHT (2), DOOLITTLE DANDY (9), LOOKS JUST RIGHT (8)

RACE EIGHT

TACTFILLY MIRACLE (3) will take good benefit from her latest offering when 2^nd up from a spell. Banished to the trials after the first up effort when down the line behind PRESS STATEMENT, she worked home from back in the pack for 3^rd last start. Firing the early bullets, she can capitalise.

TURN TURN FLYER (4) rolled forward to find position from gate 4 last start and was able to hold on for the bronze. Too far back the start prior when easing from gate 5, settling handy from this alley will give him the chance to be in the mix.

ALLY PINK (8) has placed at her past 2 in succession, the latest when easing early from gate 6 before making a strong closing play wide off the track. Trailing through can see her in the mix.

JOHNROD (2) was angled to the pegs from the 2^nd line last start for the easy trip and was not too far from the winner TULHURST LOVER. Settling handy from this gate can see him feature.

SELECTIONS: TACTFILLY MIRACLE (3), TURN TURN FLYER (4), ALLY PINK (8), JOHNROD (2)
SUGGESTED BET: TACTFILLY MIRACLE (3) to win


 

RACE NINE

HARRY CROFT (3) eased to the running line from this gate last time out when sent to the post as favourite but could not get warm over the concluding stages when finishing back in the pack. Forced to work wide off the track 2 starts back, settling closer to the action can see him take his chance in a wide-open contest.

FASTNFLASHY (4) eased from gate 5 before finishing in nice style to grab the silver here 2 starts back. Again, retreating when copping the five-hole last start, she moves one position closer this time and if able to snag a spot cheaply, will be thereabouts when they are hitting the line.

ROCK IN HEAVEN (1) has hit the board at her past 2, the latest when collared over the latter stages after trying to lead throughout from this same gate. With all the options she is in the mix once again.
 
TRENTLEIGH (5) features in a barn switch to join the Trent Moffat team. Down the line last start from the 2^nd line, it has been 12 months since he last tasted victory but can be thereabouts in this.

SELECTIONS: HARRY CROFT (3), FASTNFLASHY (4), ROCK IN HEAVEN (1), TRENTLEIGH (5)

RACE ONE

MAYWYN A JUG ORTWO (3) was sent to the post as fav last time out from gate 5 and was snagged back in the early stages. Making his run in the closing stages, he found the line in nice order to grab the silver when 1.5m in arrears of the winner. Placed in 3 of his past 4, he can break a big win drought.

PRINCE JOY (5) has hit the board at his past 3 in succession, the latest when setting the speed from gate 1 and grabbed in the last strides when a half-neck in arrears of the winner MONTANA FLASH. Limiting the early work from the wide gate can see him make a closing challenge in this.

ZED EXPRESS (2) eased to the pegs last start from gate 9 to look for some short-cuts and was strong to the line to grab 3^rd. Fitter again after 2 runs back from a long break, he can chime in here.

IMA BIRUBI BOY (9) tried to capitalise from gate 1 last start to take them all the way. Unable to see it out he had to settle for the bronze. The gate does him no favours here.

SELECTIONS: MAYWYN A JUG ORTWO (3), PRINCE JOY (5), ZED EXPRESS (2), IMA BIRUBI BOY (9)
SUGGESTED BET: MAYWYN A JUG ORTWO (3) to win
