Redcliffe Race 8 - Dan Costello Photography Maiden Pathway Pace
SHAKE (2) lines up for the first time. By Tall Dark Stranger and hails from the Grant Dixon stable. Has been trialling well and a nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Could kick off with a win. HEAD RUSH (8) returns to Queensland after tackling the Gold Crown series in Bathurst. Found that beyond him but is better placed here. Contender with even luck from the back row. VICE CHAIRWOMAN NZ (4) showed improvement in finishing runner-up at Marburg last time out. Could progress further third up. STRAWBERRIESNCREAM (6) could be an improver after a drawing on the second line on debut.

Two runs back 5th (Sr2) over 1780m at this track beaten 35 m by Nitrator (2:09.70) in MAIDEN on August 6 at $21. Fitter and draws well so look for improvement.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after showing early speed, behind Oneandonly at Marburg over 1850m in a No NR on March 23 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second behind Bettor Be Bodhi at Marburg over 1850m in a 3yo+ No NR on April 5 at $13. Fitter again so could go one better.

Finding that maiden win elusive. Last start 6th (Fr5) over 1730m after showing early pace at Bathurst, beaten 24 m by Ultimate Crusader (2:07.80) in 2yo No NR CG on March 27 at $2.15. The run prior was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr5) over 1730m at Bathurst was 8th-19.1 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Revvin Reynard (2:05.00) in 2yo No NR CG on March 20 at $51. Major player.
