Redcliffe, Thursday 9 January

RACE 1 

WHOS WATCHING LILY (2) took on strong company two starts ago when working hard in a 1.53.3 mile rate. Had no luck last start when held up at a crucial stage before finishing off strongly once clear. She has experience on her side and has been racing well. 

 

ART OF ROCK (4) closed strongly last start to just miss behind Moveheavennearth. He hasn’t missed a place since returning from a spell and looks hard to beat again in this race. 

 

PERFECTLY QUIRKY (6) has put together a good record in her four starts so far having won two and run second in another. She draws widest in this race but does possess good gate speed. 

 

BOSTON BRONSKI (8) is first up from a decent spell in this race. Showed promise last campaign.

 

SELECTIONS: WHOS WATCHING LILY (2), ART OF ROCK (4), PERFECTLY QUIRKY (6), BOSTON BRONSKI (8)

SUGGESTED BET: WHOS WATCHING LILY (2) to win. 

 

RACE 2 

WILLIEWA LIGHTNING (3) ran third last start from an awkward draw after making up late ground. Draws a better gate this time and can be put into the race. 

 

RANCHO MAN (4) was beaten just 26 metres in a trial behind Royal Speech where the winner rated 1.53.3 which looks strong form for this race. Looks well suited in this company. 

 

SHADYS DELIGHT (7) draws awkwardly behind a horse that is first up in this race. If he can find a clear passage through at the right time he will be thereabouts. 

 

SAINT LOUIS BEAT (8) ran on strongly two starts ago behind Tackas Last Dance. Can look to do similar. 

 

SELECTIONS: WILLIEWA LIGHTNING (3), RANCHO MAN (4), SHADYS DELIGHT (7), SAINT LOUIS BEAT (8)

SUGGESTED BET: WILLIEWA LIGHTNING (3) to win. 

 

RACE 3

CRIME TIME (5) faced the breeze last start at Albion Park and was beaten by Three Machs who had a soft run in the race. Looks likely to need to do the work in the race again. 

 

CONVAIR HUSTLER (9) has strung together four placings in a row his last four starts and will be looking to break through for an elusive win. 

 

ROLLONX (7) draws awkwardly inside the back row following a horse that struggled his last start in Sammys Secret. If he can get clear at the right time he would be hard to beat.

 

SUBTLE CHAY (3) was a winner two starts ago when leading and winning. 

 

SELECTIONS: CRIME TIME (5), CONVAIR HUSTLER (9), ROLLONX (7), SUBTLE CHAY (3)

SUGGESTED BET: CRIME TIME (5) to win. 

 

RACE 4 

MY ULTIMATE FELIX (5) finished off strongly last start in what was a fairly strong restricted win race. He can be running on strong again. 

 

MONTEREY JACK (9) was able to win four starts ago. He can be thereabouts again if able to get the right run into the race. 

 

TOMMY BLIGH (8) did the work two starts ago outside Splashndash and battled on very well when running into fourth. 

 

VALLANI MAGIC (6) burned hard in the early stages to find the pegs last start and just got tired late. Despite the wide draw she appears to be in the right grade. 

 

SELECTIONS: MY ULTIMATE FELIX (5), MONTEREY JACK (9), TOMMY BLIGH (8), VALLANI MAGIC (6)

SUGGESTED BET: MONTEREY JACK (9) to win. 

 

RACE 5

ENGLISH DANCE (1) won two starts ago when finishing best late once clear. He has previously run well leading and may prove hard to catch if able to control the race. 

 

KATACHA MAN (5) hit the line powerfully late last start over the 2040 journey. Back to the mile he will likely need to find a position up on speed, if he can he will be hard to beat. 

 

SHEREACTS (9) scored a big win last start after sitting off a solid tempo. She can look to do similar in this race. 

 

ZACH LOWE (8) has been in strong form in recent starts and will be looking to break a run of seconds in this race. He looks to have drawn suitably. 

 

SELECTIONS: ENGLISH DANCE (1), KATACHA MAN (5), SHEREACTS (9), ZACH LOWE (8)

SUGGESTED BET: KATACHA MAN (5) to win. 

 

RACE 6 

MY ULTIMATE VICTOR (8) took on a strong race two starts ago in a race he burned to lead and held a clear second although well beaten by Diamond Shooz. He looks better suited in a race of this nature and can bounce back. 

 

BETTING JEWEL (4) worked hard last start over the 2040 trip and was only just beaten. Is likely to be better suited stepping back to the 1780 and should prove hard to beat. 

 

LIMOUSINE CHEEKY (2) is a runner of interest having its first start for the stable of Shane Graham. She had solid NSW country form. 

 

MODERN SHEEN (3) hasn’t had much luck in recent starts. 

 

SELECTIONS: MY ULTIMATE VICTOR (8), BETTING JEWEL (4), LIMOUSINE CHEEKY (2), MODERN SHEEN (3)

SUGGESTED BET: MY ULTIMATE VICTOR (8) to win. 

 

RACE 7

THERESACHANCE (4) is a gate speed horse. He is generally extremely hard to beat when able to lead and he draws favourably in this race. 

 

MISTER DOMINGO (6) ran on strongly last start to score. This looks tougher and he draws poorly but does look to be in good enough form. 

 

SKYGIRL (9) first up from a long spell without a trial. She was racing well last time in and if she is fit enough first up she is likely to be thereabouts. 

 

DIEGO DELGADO (8) worked to the lead last start and was only beaten late by Flo Ryda. May be suited by a step back to the 1780 here. 

 

SELECTIONS: THERESACHANCE (4), MISTER DOMINGO (6), SKYGIRL (9), DIEGO DELGADO (8)

SUGGESTED BET: THERESACHANCE (4) to win.
