\n

SEVEN\u2019S (11)<\/strong> has a nice soft gate and some decent wet track form to his name ahead of this second-up assignment.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Archibald-trained gelding\u00a0ran on\u00a0nicely to just\u00a0miss out on\u00a0a place on the Gold Coast first-up over\u00a01400m, a decent effort given he was wide without cover for the majority.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His second-up form stands\u00a0out\u00a0and Tommy Berry piloting is a big plus.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

WITHOUT PARALLEL (13)<\/strong> appeals\u00a0for\u00a0Matthew Dunn.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The four-year-old daughter to Time Test almost never runs a poor race, resuming to finish just outside the placings here at\u00a0Doomben\u00a0first-up, before tackling the\u00a01200m\u00a0at Eagle Farm a couple of weeks ago\u00a0where\u00a0she was strong all the way to the line for third.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The shifty track played a big part that day, but as a noted wet tracker, she should find conditions to suit third-up with the inside alley offering her every chance.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
Tip of The Day<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

KATOTO (5)<\/strong> has been kept on ice for this Listed assignment.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We got a good feel for what Chris Waller\u2019s filly is all about at Kembla Grange second-up last month when she overcame some late traffic to bolt in and claim her maiden.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is tougher again up from midweek level, but with a soft Sydney trial between runs and the low gate offering her every opportunity to park behind the speed, she looks like a serious JJ Atkins<\/a> prospect in the making.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No. 10 Angel Ladder <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

ANGEL LADDER (10)<\/strong> has some good\u00a0improvement\u00a0still to come for Ciaron Maher and connections.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She went around in search of her hat-trick off a three-week break in the Mick Dittman Plate at Eagle Farm last month,\u00a0leading for\u00a0a long way before the candle burned out towards the end.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In saying that, she had a stack of ground to make up from the wide alley and was entitled to weaken in what was her first look at Stakes level.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Better for the experience now and likely to push forward again from a softer gate this time to lead,\u00a0she\u2019ll\u00a0take running down when it matters most.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

ABOUT TO EXPLODE (12)\u00a0<\/strong>looks\u00a0a nice bet if they go hard early up front.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The son to Spirit\u00a0Of\u00a0Boom was unlucky not to claim another win over the\u00a01200m\u00a0trip at Eagle Farm last time out,\u00a0finding a stalking position early in behind the speed and letting down with a serious turn of foot to finish a nose off Cloudland.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This smart five-year-old has done little wrong all prep and although his last go around here\u00a0wasn\u2019t\u00a0great, he\u00a0looks\u00a0a huge chance dropping back slightly\u00a0in trip.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Race 6 – MAGIC MILLIONS Fillies and Mares Plate (1600 METRES) <\/div>\n
No. 2 Pinito <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

PINITO (2)<\/strong> has had a trial between runs following a disappointing effort in the Queen of the Turf<\/a> earlier\u00a0in April.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She was far from disgraced that day from a wide\u00a0barrier\u00a0but clearly outclassed in a lot of ways.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

James McDonald takes the ride on Saturday, and she should be ready to run a big race over the mile with fresher legs. Maps to get right back from a good gate and save her best for the finish.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

CHISPA (11)<\/strong> is up in grade and trip, looking to build on a comfortable win on the Kensington track down south last week.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The decision to race on the quick backup signals some clear intent from the Waller stable, and\u00a0there\u2019s\u00a0no question\u00a0she\u2019ll\u00a0eat up the extra\u00a0200m\u00a0after savaging the line.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Oaks<\/a> could be in her sights if she races well here, and from a soft gate, J-Mac will have her in a prime spot up on the speed\u00a0I\u2019d\u00a0imagine.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She\u2019s\u00a0third-up now and ready to peak for Grahame Begg coming off a solidly run race in\u00a0the\u00a0Hollindale\u00a0last time out on the Gold Coast, where she was forward early and strong all the way for third.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No knock on her over\u00a02000m\u00a0given\u00a0she\u2019s\u00a0cashed a cheque in all three tries over this trip. Draws to get forward with ease from the low gate and her fitness should do a lot of the talking now.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Automatic entry into the Stradbroke Handicap<\/a> is up for grabs in the last,\u00a0and\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0not a\u00a0half bad race for BOOMTOWN BOSS (13)<\/strong>, who gets the blinkers on second-up now for Tony Gollan.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I thought he ran on nicely to feature in the money in The Archer at Rocky fresh from a spell, over racing early but really knuckling down well once he shifted over to the fence down the straight.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The form out of that has been good since with\u00a0Rothfire\u00a0winning the\u00a0Doomben\u00a010,000<\/a> last week, and if he gets some early luck in running from a tricky gate, I think Tommy Berry will have plenty of horse to work with late.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
