Marburg Race 8 - Thank You QLD Junior Harness Association Pace
STUDLEIGH MARK (5) had been racing in great heart, then was again in fine form last start when he finished second over 1780m at Redcliffe, beaten 4.5 metres. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating once more. MAJOR SLIP UP (1) ran eighth last start at Redcliffe over 1780m, beaten 16 metres. Has the ability and should be right in the finish. CELESTINE (2) was unplaced two starts ago, then things went amiss last start when she broke and finished 4 metres away in fourth over 1780m at Redcliffe. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Beautifully placed and is able to make amends. ULTIMATE HUNTER (6) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1780m at Redcliffe on March 24. Include in all combinations.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 8th (Sr1) over 1780m at Redcliffe, at the bell was 4th-5m 2WWC beaten 16 m by Favreau (2:12.80) in NR 45 to 49 on March 17 at $11. The start before 5th (Sr2) over 1850m at this track, at the bell was 6th-9.4m 2WWC beaten 14 m by B Mac C (2:15.50) in NR 48 to 52 on March 2 at $71. Certainly up to this and expected to atone.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 1780m after showing early speed at Redcliffe, at the bell was 3rd-3.5m on the pegs beaten 4 m by Arnold Street (2:10.80) in NR 45 to 50 on March 20 at $14. Before that, 7th (Fr2) over 1660m after showing early pace at Albion Park, at the bell was leading 3.6m on the pegs beaten 11 m by Pocket Book (1:59.30) in NR 45 to 49 on March 14 at $13. Rates highly. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing eighth after being driven well back, behind Our Ultimate Luka at Albion Park over 1660m in a NR 45 to 49 on March 14 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind War Club at Redcliffe over 1780m in a NR 45 to 50 on March 20 at $6.50. Top contender based on recent form.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Sr3) over 1780m at Redcliffe, beaten 21 m by Always Promise Me (2:10.90) in NR 43 to 47 on March 24 at $14. Before that was well back in the run when 6th (Sr3) over 1850m after racing wide at this track, at the bell was 7th-14.3m 2WWC beaten 16 m by B Mac C (2:15.50) in NR 48 to 52 on March 2 at $34. Not keen on his chances in this field.
