RACE EIGHT
A preview for next Saturday’s $125,000 Sunshine Stars Classic where the talented HAPPY AS CAN BE (4) can look to take advantage. Too classy for his older opponents last start from an awkward gate at Redcliffe, he can look to capitalise here.
STAY FOOLISH (10) has landed three wins this term, the latest when overcoming a second line gate at Bathurst to post a narrow margin. Runner-up to the ultra-smart SWEET ON LEXY three starts back, the gate stings for this preview, but he will be in the thick of it.
RACE FOR RICHES (7) was an impressive debut winner when attacking the line from off the pace to score in the final stride. Forced to sit parked last start, back to his own age is a plus.
TAKING A PUNT (1) broke maiden ranks with a dictating win at Redcliffe three starts back, just gripping on for the prize. With the chance of an economical trip, he is a podium player.
