The Redcliffe harness preview for Thursday 29th October is live, with Oli Cownie breaking down all eight races at The Triangle.
Oli has worked through the form to assess the key runners, main winning chances and best betting opportunities across the card. Check out his race-by-race analysis, selections and suggested bets below.
TASK AT HAND (8) secured a good run off the speed last time out and was running on late into second behind Whata Sweety. She should get a good run off the speed in this race and can be running on late.
MISTA WICKED (7) was forced to race without cover last time out when running a good third behind Whata Sweety. He should secure a good run off the speed and with luck at the right time can be running into the finish late.
AURELIE (6) was running on nicely last time out behind Free Reign at this track after securing a good run behind the speed. She has been prone to doing things wrong but if she brings her best manners she should be hard to beat.
HEIRTOTHECROWN (5) ran a good race on debut when finishing second behind Jewel Reason at Albion Park. He made a mistake in his latest outing and can look to bounce back in this race.
SELECTIONS: TASK AT HAND (8), MISTA WICKED (7), AURELIE (6), HEIRTOTHECROWN (5)
SUGGESTED BET: TASK AT HAND (8) to win.
| 8. Task At Hand (1) 952 |
HEZA DIRTY DANCER (7) was very impressive racing at this track in his second career start when sitting without cover and running out a big winner there. He draws inside the back row which looks a reasonable draw first up from a spell.
WAIT WHAT (1) appears to have some gate speed and may be able to drive through and lead in the early stages of this race from a good draw. He took on a stronger race last time out won by Skip To Me Lou and should appreciate what appears to be a slight step back in grade.
CALL KELLY (9) was running on nicely late last time out behind Slay Queen into second. She appears to be building back towards some of her better form this campaign and should be suited by the soft trailing draw in this race.
NUMBER ONE RANGER (6) draws awkwardly outside the front row in this race and may be shuffled back in the early stages. He was shuffled back early last time out and was running on late into fourth behind Slay Queen.
SELECTIONS: HEZA DIRTY DANCER (7), WAIT WHAT (1), CALL KELLY (9), NUMBER ONE RANGER (6)
SUGGESTED BET: HEZA DIRTY DANCER (7) to win.
| 7. Heza Dirty Dancer (1) 9389x |
BEAU STEELE (4) was restrained onto the pegs early last time out before running on reasonably late into third behind Good Word That and Yogi. He draws a touch awkwardly in this race but with the right run he should be thereabouts in this race.
KEAYANG TARA (2) has good gate speed and should be able to press forward and find a prominent position. She got back two starts ago and was running on nicely into third behind Copy Writer.
GHOST TRAIN (1) has good gate speed and should be able to drive through and lead early before having options from there. He handed over the lead last time out and battled away well enough for third behind Major Slip Up.
PARTY CHANGER (6) made a long wide run into it and did an excellent job there to keep coming late to finish third behind Major Ark and Jukebox Jet. He looks likely to be shuffled back from the draw and can be running on late again.
SELECTIONS: BEAU STEELE (4), KEAYANG TARA (2), GHOST TRAIN (1), PARTY CHANGER (6)
SUGGESTED BET: KEAYANG TARA (2) to win.
| 2. Keayang Tara (2) 05239 |
MAJOR ARK (1) burned to lead last time out and couldn’t quite get across early then when left to do plenty of work before fading late. She should be able to drive through and lead this time and looks hard to run down third up from a spell.
ROCKIN SWEET (7) should get a good run through in this race behind the likely leader in the race MAJOR ARK (1). He was left to do the work outside the leader last time out and battled on nicely for second behind Well Said Nugget. He should be hard to hold out.
MY SCIMITAR (3) led and rolled along genuine sectionals last time out while appearing to be quite keen. He should be much better sat up and saved for one run and looks to land in the right type of grade.
ART OF ROCK (4) was forced to race without cover last time out which isn’t usually how he is ideally suited in races. He draws a touch awkwardly in this race but looks to have a good chance with the right run.
SELECTIONS: MAJOR ARK (1), ROCKIN SWEET (7), MY SCIMITAR (3), ART OF ROCK (4)
SUGGESTED BET: ROCKIN SWEET (7) to win.
| 7. Rockin Sweet (1) 64792 |
MACS A DUDE (9) should secure a good run off the speed in this race from a soft trailing draw. He secured a good run two starts ago and wasn’t beaten far in third behind Mighty Ideal. He should be running on late.
OCTOBER RACKETEER (5) was a good winner last time out when holding the lead early and taking them all the way. He draws wider this time but if he was able to work his way to the lead early he would likely be hard to run down.
DIEGO DELGADO (8) was forced to do the work last time out when well beaten there. He should secure a good run off the speed in this race and can be running into it late.
LAST CALL (4) secured a good run on the pegs three starts ago and was running on strongly into a well beaten second behind the in-form The Tiger Army. If the race is run to suit she should be running on late.
SELECTIONS: MACS A DUDE (9), OCTOBER RACKETEER (5), DIEGO DELGADO (8), LAST CALL (4)
SUGGESTED BET: MACS A DUDE (9) to win.
| 9. Macs A Dude (3) 33439 |
THE TIGER ARMY (8) put in a huge run last time out when sitting without cover and fighting right to the line in a race taken out by Wehavtime. He draws to do no work in the early stages in this race and can be put into the race when the speed slackens after getting a good run through early.
TAKE OUT (2) has very good gate speed and should be able to find a prominent position in the early stages of this race from a good draw. He has poor numerical form but should find this a lot easier than recent outings including last start when forced to do some work outside of Allmighty Max.
ASHLEE NITRO (1) should get a good economical run behind the speed in this race and can be running on late. She scored another good win at this track when running over the top of Holme Boy last start after racing off the speed.
MITCHELLS RUN (10) was able to find the front last time out from a wide draw and took them all the way there. He draws less favourably this time but can be running on late if the race is run to suit.
SELECTIONS: THE TIGER ARMY (8), TAKE OUT (2), ASHLEE NITRO (1), MITCHELLS RUN (10)
SUGGESTED BET: THE TIGER ARMY (8) to win.
| 8. The Tiger Army (2) 62112 |
LLANFAIR LLEWELLAN (3) was able to secure a good run just behind the speed last time out and was running on nicely in behind Sweet Rocky. He looks to find a race that appears a touch easier on paper and he should run well again.
NAUTIE GALVINATOR (1) should have the speed to drive through and lead early before having options from there. He got back three starts ago and was running on nicely late into fifth not beaten far behind Our Ultimate Milly.
MY ULTIMATE VICTOR (2) has good early speed and should be able to press forward and find a prominent position in this race. He led two starts ago but just copped too much early pressure and was entitled to tire late.
OPALLANE (7) should get a good run through early in this race behind a horse which is likely to be keen to hold a forward position. He was a good winner two starts ago when leading all the way at Albion Park.
SELECTIONS: LLANFAIR LLEWELLAN (3), NAUTIE GALVINATOR (1), MY ULTIMATE VICTOR (2), OPALLANE (7)
SUGGESTED BET: LLANFAIR LLEWELLAN (3) to win.
| 3. Llanfair Llewellan (3) 04663 |
IM BUSTED (1) should have the speed to drive through and lead early in this race at a track and distance he has previously won at. He was able to secure a good run behind the lead last time out and was running on nicely late.
THE TORQUE EFFECT (2) zipped across last time out before taking a trail on Malarky and was very good there running a close up second in good time. She looks likely to secure a good run again in this race from a favourable draw and can be running on late.
SAME OLD DEVIL (6) has been racing in good form recently but does draw outside the front row which appears to make things tricky for him. He was running on nicely late two starts ago behind Maywyn Valentino at this track.
KEAYANG MOSCATO (5) hasn’t quite been able to recapture her best form for the stable of Donny Smith in three outings for the stable. She draws awkwardly in this race and will need to improve on recent efforts.
SELECTIONS: IM BUSTED (1), THE TORQUE EFFECT (2), SAME OLD DEVIL (6), KEAYANG MOSCATO (5)
SUGGESTED BET: IM BUSTED (1) to win.
| 1. Im Busted (1) 21782 |
LOCH LAMOND (7) put in what appeared to be a career best effort last time out when closing strongly to run them down in the concluding stages rating fast time. He appears to draw quite awkwardly inside the back row and will need luck at some stage to get into the clear.
KICK THE SWITCH (8) looks likely to get a good run off the speed in this race from a soft trailing draw. He was able to track Mister Seaside into the race three starts ago and proved too good rating good time. He should be running on late again.
MAJOR CRUNCH (5) drew poorly last time out when shuffled a long way back and was running on late into fifth. He should get a good run off the speed in this race and can be running on late.
PUMPKIN PAT (3) has very good gate speed and may launch forward in the early stages to attempt to find the front. She worked hard early five starts ago before taking them all the way there in a much weaker race.
SELECTIONS: LOCH LAMOND (7), KICK THE SWITCH (8), MAJOR CRUNCH (5), PUMPKIN PAT (3)
SUGGESTED BET: MAJOR CRUNCH (5) to win.
| 5. Major Crunch (4) 14335 |
