BEST: Race 4 #4 TRUE KISSES $13 bet now

NEXT BEST:  Race 3 #5 BEL BLASTER $6.50 bet now

 

 

Race 1: 10-14-5-12

Tricky start with expectations around $500k first starter 10 TAQDEES leading the market from the leading juvenile stable and shown leading ability in jumpouts. 14 TRISCILLA was ok on debut but like them off one run against debutants and Williams stays. Been to jumpouts since. Gear change on  5 ELLE STREET who had tough run and excused last time. Thought 12 WHITE SLIPPER earned consideration from what seen at Caulfield jumpouts. 1 SOMETHING VIOLET has come back well as evidenced recent Cranbourne trial.

Suggested: Don’t get too involved. If must 14 Triscilla and Williams fair start.

 

Race 2: 4-3-1-12

Again full of first starters but they will want to be moving to nail those we have seen. Pick of the first timers for mine is 12 THE SWORD (trialled publically in spring) now reappears in blinkers.  4 HOLY BLADE was good chasing last time and that pattern suits here.  Blinkers added. 3 BOWERMAN, an expensive yearling, put away after sound debut. Nothing flukish about speedy debut of 1 ELITE LEGACY. Good race.

Suggested:  One for Williams and Weir – 4 HOLY BLADE

 

Race 3: 5-2-7-9

Like 5 BEL BLASTER at odds out to 1300m after good return at shorter trip.  2 MR SINATRA in typically consistent maintaining form Weir like preparation. 7 BOORADLEY has Mertens but will need to get away from the fence. Respecting 9 BRAHMOS (an expensive $420k Moody yearling purchase) now with Sadler and has Williams for debut.

Suggested: Good gamble 5 BEL BLASTER

 

Race 4: 4-1-3-8

Liked the last start win 4 TRUE KISSES for Weir, which was touch overdue. Not much between 1 RIVER GODDESS and 3 SUMMER GLEN from last runs. 8 MISS ARRIETTA appears here as a maiden but think the 1600m suits on the big track.

Suggested: lasts starter winner 4 TRUE KISSES to do it again.

 

Race 5: 10-4-1-9

Thinking 10 MULINELLO will appreciated the better conditions here – not that it raced poorly on the heavy last time.  1 WALLOON REGION drops in grade and looks better placed than competitive recent efforts. 9 HERO MASTER – with any luck from inside draw – can figure.11 BACK TO THE BOWLER finds a weakish race.

SUGGESTED: Not many winning hopes 10 MULINELLO on top.

 

Race 6: 5-1-8-4

These 1000m races here are attractive to 5 KALASHANI LAD and looks well in after the claim with the race weights compounded by BM 90 Weir runner 1 GUN CASE. A chance for sure but 5 kg separates them and that’s enough for me. 8 GIBBON is in peak form, 4 ORUJO hasn’t won lately but perhaps hasn’t been in a winnable race like this.

Suggested: Staying with 5 KALASHANI LAD.

 

Race 7: 6-8-4-5

A staying race with depth and again going Waterhouse/Bott with 6 CISMONTANE who had little luck 2nd time out this campaign at Canterbury. 8 KELLSTORM is racing well and solid here with Williams up for Weir. 4 DEMONS RUN is a solid on-pacer with the blinkers off and 5 HOT RUBY is in career peak form.

Suggested:  Sydney visitor 6 CISTMONTANE way to go.

 

Race 8: 5-9-8-6

Looks best race of the day but 5 SMOKIN BELLA comes here in excellent form and can win again. 8 FOUR SISTERS wants more rain, 9 LITTLE INDIAN wants more luck, 6 TRINITY HILL wants a break.

Suggested: Winning form stays with 5 SMOKIN BELLA
