RACE COMMENT
Placed in one of three appearances here at HQ, CHERRIES ON TOP (2) has likely found the conditions to add a victory to those figures. Breaking maiden ranks with a demolition at Redcliffe when positing a 49m margin, she overcame the outside second line last start with another strong win on The Triangle. This looks ideal. OUR ULTIMATE MILLY (1) will strip fitter following her latest appearance when dictating from gate 2 at Redcliffe and gripping on in the stretch to win by an eyelash. A winner back in August in a Triad Heat, she secures the options from this gate to issue the challenge. TARIFF TIME (4) is a 3YO filly that has won two of three to date, resuming from a let up at Marburg with a 7m victory. This is a tougher ask from the gate, but she can feature. POWERMOVE (8) should be tucked away in transit with an economical trip. Sent hard to the front before taking cover at 2138 last start before fading, a return to the mile is in her favour.The front line of this contest are all searching for form which might just pave the way for THE BLINGSTER (8) to secure the right trip. Resuming from a spell with a swooping win at Redcliffe, all four subsequent outings have been against far superior opposition to this. Just needs the gap. RAINBOW GAMBLER (1) has placed in three of his past five, the past two in succession. Eased to the fence from wide on the front line last start at Redcliffe, he comes up with all the options here and burrowing through, might have found the set up to issue the challenge. IM A RED HOT FOX (7) has the ODM embargo to start on the outside and last start added in a gait break to put her out of action. If she can start cleanly and pace throughout, she has claims. PLAYING FOR KEEPS (9) joins the Watson stable, arriving from Southern NSW. With a sound Redcliffe trial hit out, she finds the right race to feature fresh.
