EACH WAY R8 N3 BARNSLEY
ROUGHIE R10 N13 GENERAL COS
Race 1
3 THE REAL BOSS spanked his rivals at his debut and looks hard to beat here. 1 IMAGINALTHEPEOPLE was a winner here over this distance on debut on a soft track, can figure in the money.
Numbers: 3 – 1- 4 – 5
Bet :WIN 3 THE REAL BOSS
Race 2
3 AILEACH was a big winner on a heavy track on debut, gets similar conditions here and can go on and win again. 2 MIRACLES APLENTY was a dominant winner at his only start on rain-affected ground, and should run well here.
Numbers: 3 – 2 – 6 – 5
Bet: WIN 3 AILEACH
Race 3
Liked the trial of 2 HIRTSHALS in preparation for this. There should be enough speed in the race to allow her to balance up and be hitting the line hard. 4 ALLENA & 5 LIPS N’ HIPS can race on speed and be in the money.
Numbers: 2 – 5 – 4 – 3
Bet: WIN 2 HIRTSHALS
Race 4
10 CRYSTAL AMOUR resumed with a tidy effort behind Peridae in class record time last start. She comes here fitter and from gate 1 should get a nice run in transit and looks hard to beat. 3 THE DANGER should lead and give them something to run down, while 8 WAKATA was beaten in a 4 way blanket finish time out, and is a chance again in this.
Numbers: 10 – 3 – 8 – 4
Bet: WIN 10 CRYSTAL AMOR
Race 5
4 BALAERIC looked set to break his maiden last start, when dashing through the inside, only to be run down late. He’s found a winnable maiden here, although he is very well found in the market. 7 FIDGETAR made good ground late in a 1000m maiden at Toowoomba, and looks to be suited up to 1350m here, and is a rough hope.
Numbers: 4 – 7 – 10 – 6
Bet: WIN 4 BALEARIC
Race 6
1 WHYCATCHIM ( I have share in him) was good first up winning in track record time, before chasing a jet last time at Doomben. He has ran second on a heavy track in Victoria, and looks the leader and winner here. 3 TRUCULENT & 4 MUDDY ROPE are next best, and look to fill the placings.
Numbers: 1 – 3 – 4 – 9
Bet: WIN 1 WHYCATCHIM
Race 7
8 BIMINI ROAD brings some strong form lines to the mid week grade here, drawn well, looks the winner. 4 GREEN LUCK was good winner here on the heavy track last time, can win again. 6 DYNASTIC had trouble getting out and building momentum when finishing a well backed, narrow second last start, can place here.
Numbers: 8 – 4 – 6 – 1
BET: WIN 8 BIMINI ROAD
Race 8
3 BARNSLEY looks to be the big improver here, gets a wet track, a good jockey change and a good barrier. He gets a good run in transit, and is the horse to beat. 12 HIDDEN BUDGET resumes here on a wet track, and loves these conditions. 4 PATRONIZING & 7 LIPSYNC are both capable on their day, and can run well here.
Numbers: 3 – 12 – 4 – 7
Bet: EACH WAY 3 BARNSLEY
Race 9
12 FUTURE EVENT is the young horse on the way up, handles the conditions and looks the horse to beat here. He should race on speed and make his own luck. 15 MR ATTITUDE is rarely far away, gets in with a low eight and can place.
Numbers: 12 – 15 – 11 –8
Bet: WIN 12 FUTURE EVENT
Race 10
Last leg of the Decathlon, and im hoping we are well in front, as I’m keen to play a big roughie here in 13 GENERAL COS at + $20. There looks to be some genuine tempo on paper, and he will be getting a cosy run along the inside. His wins have been excellent in Toowoomba, and while this is a step up in class, he can measure up.
Numbers: 13 – 15 – 3 – 4
Bet: Each Way 13 GENERAL COS
