Redcliffe Race 4

Driver Of The Night - Leonard Cain Pace

Prize Money: $4,600

COPY WRITER (4) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1780m at this track, finishing second and just a nose from the winner. Won't find this any harder and she can take care of this line-up. COURAGEOUS LEO (9) is better than his last-start eighth over 1780m at this circuit. Capable of bouncing back. DOWNTOWN MANHATTAN (3) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1780m at this course. One for the multiples. CONNIES SPIRIT (7) draws for a trail and could be dangerous if the race pans out her way.

Didn't do much last time out, 9th (Fr2) over 1780m after showing early pace at this track well beaten by Doolittle Doozzie (2:12.80) in NR up to 40 on December 31 at $11. Before that 5th (Fr3) over 1850m after showing early pace at Marburg beaten 5 m by Gracenava (2:17.40) in NR up to 37 on December 14 at $9.50. Others make more appeal.

Two back was fourth behind Outer Change at this track over 1780m in a 3yo+ NR up to 39 on January 21 at $34. Then a handy effort when third behind Take Courage at this track over 1780m in a 3yo+ NR up to 37 on February 2 at $6. Forward performance expected.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Take Courage at this track over 1780m 3yo+ NR up to 37 last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres third at Marburg over 1850m same class on January 26. Looks very hard to beat.

Last start won by a nose when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at this track (2:13.70) beating Copy Writer in 3yo+ NR up to 37 on February 2 at $15. Sure to be in the finish again.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr1) over 1780m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 11 m by Well Said Nugget (2:11.80) in 3yo+ NR 40 to 44 on February 4 at $101. Showed ability the race before when he won by 2.75 m (Fr1) at this track (2:12.70) beating Rollonx in 3yo+ NR up to 39 on January 29 at $6. A big run would not surprise.
