Redcliffe Race 9

Mazda Aspley Open Discretionary Handicap

Prize Money: $11,620

CLASSY OPERATOR (4) is a progressive pacer who heads north off four successive wins at Menangle and has been kept up to the mark with a trial win. If he gets the stand start right he'll be tough to stop. MYDADSAID (3) was racing very consistently with a string of wins and placings before tracking up to four wide last time so prepared to forgive that result. Has trialled nicely since. Major player. THROWYAARMSAROUNDME (2) is a newcomer from NZ and must be considered after recording a win and a placing in his last two outings at Addington. KINGMAKER (7) is a four-time fresh winner readied with two trial wins so keep him safe.

Last start was restrained when 9th (Fr6) over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten 8 m by Despondent (1:58.80) in NR up to 70 on June 18 at $51. Two runs back was restrained when 12th (Fr6) over 2138m at Albion Park, beaten 23 m by Alta Magacian (2:36.60) in NR up to 70 on May 31 at $151. Latest form makes this a pretty tough assignment.

Last start was well beaten into tenth behind Last Time Joe at Albion Park over 2138m in a B 5 on June 1 at $10. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 2138m after showing early speed and racing wide at Albion Park, at the bell was 2nd-1.3m 2WNC beaten 1.3 m by Nicks Pick (2:33.80) in B 5 on May 18 at $3.10. Rates highly. Big chance.
