Redcliffe Race 4 - Garrards Horse & Hound Pace
REDS ABLAZE (9) resumes after finishing sixth at her latest appearance at Albion Park on December 6. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw but finds a suitable assignment and will take plenty of beating. HES SWEET (2) turned in a much better run last start, finishing second over 1780m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw and rates a leading hope in a similar assignment. MATTEO (6) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 1.5 metres at this circuit over 2040m. Top-three conveyance. SMARTER THAN YOU (4) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at this course over 2040m. One for the multiples.

Two back was fifth behind Path To Greatness at Albion Park over 2138m in a 4yo+ NR 50 or better on March 21 at $31. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Allmighty Max at this track over 2040m in a 3yo+ NR 53 to 59 on April 15 at $6. Heading the right way now.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won by 1.5 m (Sr2) at this track (2:27.90) beating Miki Moo in Up to 3 LTW on April 15 at $2.40. Has a great overall strike-rate and it is hard to knock winning form.
