8 Flash Inferno
Ran past 4 Lockwood Loop when second in a small field last week. Wide draw can work for him in this despite his poor record in pink.
Selections: 8-4-2-6
5 Chief Logger
Did well to win on debut after a slow start at Hatrick on Friday. Should handle this track & trip. 2 Big Time Kimetto qualified well on this track in June. Has raced elsewhere in his three starts to date but this should suit him better. Quaddie cover.
Selections: 5-2-7-8
4 Fire Warning
Has fired to three straight wins in quick times on three different tracks. Should repeat. Quadrella anchor.
Selections: 4-8-5-6
7 Talkin' Trash
Trialled well enough here before stumbling out of the traps when resuming with a fifth placing at Hatrick. Fitter for that so should deal to this field.
Selections: 7-2-5-6
8 Opawa Jordan
Slick winner over this distance two starts back & there was a lot to like about his fourth over more ground last Tuesday. Up in class but capable. 6 Tira Miss You will have her confidence boosted by her all-the-way win a week ago. Has operated successfully in this class before. Wide spread in the quaddie.
Selections: 8-6-3-5
7 Big Time Carly
Solid second here before a fair fourth at Hatrick. is better on this track & fitter for both of those outings early in her campaign.
Selections: 7-2-6-3
3 Opawa Simpson
Better effort on the straight track followed an unlucky outing here. Box manners can let him down. 4 We Ride isn't reliable early either but continues to race well in spite of that.
Selections: 3-4-2-7
7 Jay Walker
Group one winner that hasn't raced since running sixth in the NZ Derby. Trialled well enough at Addington recently to expect a forward showing. Might need the first four selections to open the quaddie however.
Selections: 7-3-2-8
4 Hendrix Ruler
Swamped late when a brave fourth over 457m. Beat 2 King Harvest three weeks ago. Quaddie spread in a quality field.
Selections: 4-2-6-5
2 True Ability
Has chased home three quality hounds at the last three meetings here. Likes to run up the track but should be assisted by the 3 & 4 dogs in the early rush.
Selections: 7-3-2-8
8 My Mini Me
Led for most of the way over 520m at Hatrick clocking some super early sectionals. This looks to be the perfect set up for her.
Selections: 8-5-2-7
Best: Talkin' Trash
Next: Big Time Carly
Value: Flash Inferno
