Redcliffe Race 7

Dan Costello Photography Pace

Stake: $7,512

JOHN WAYNE NZ (1) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 13 metres into 11th at Albion Park over 2138m. Has the benefit of a far better draw, finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. MISTER SEASIDE (2) turned in a much better run at his latest appearance when he scored by 2.25 metres over 2040m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Won't find this any harder and he can make it consecutive wins. HEZ DUSTY (5) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1660m at Albion Park last time out. COMMODORE JUJON (7) is worth some thought despite his last-start sixth over 1780m at this track on August 5.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 11th (Fr6) over 2138m at Albion Park beaten 13 m by Race For Riches (2:33.90) in 4yo+ on August 8 at $61. Before that, a game effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 2138m at Albion Park beaten 19 m by Stripes (2:35.00) in 3yo+ on August 4 at $19. Can make amends.

Two runs back 9th (Fr4) over 1660m after showing early speed at Albion Park, beaten 14 m by Western Arterra (1:58.90) in 3yo+ on July 30 at $8.50. Hard to have on those efforts.

Last start 6th (Sr3) over 1780m at this track, beaten 6 m by Hes Sweet (2:06.40) in 3yo+ on August 5 at $17. At the run before was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr7) over 1660m at Albion Park beaten 13 m by Western Arterra (1:58.90) in 3yo+ on July 30 at $19. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to take this out.
