Track – Good 4 Rail – True Race 1: Sabois Maiden Plate 1000m Never Short debuts here for the astute Jaensch stable, has had the one trial and I thought it was a nice piece of work without being asked to do much. Finds a race here with little depth and can be winning on debut. Bohemian Forest ran well first up but did have her chance to win, finds a winnable race here, not sure the drop in...
Track – Currently Rated Good 4 Rail – +14m 1200m to 400m, +12m 400m to WP, +9m Remainder, Sectional 619m. Race 1: Sabois + BM 82 Handicap 2500m We kick off the with stayers race, just the usual suspects going around here. Olympic Academy has opened a short price favourite for the in-form Grant Young Stable. Doesn’t look much speed here on paper. Blake Says: No interest at all here. Olympic...
Track – Currently Rated Soft 6 Rail – Out 2m 1600m – 1200m, True Remainder. Race 1: Benchmark 75 Handicap 1250m Hard Empire is flying this prep, strong win last start, should come across from the wide barrier here to sit on the speed and give them something to catch. Mystified is going OK, wins rarely but finds a suitable race here, looks unders but must be respected. Will be surprised if one of...
Track – Currently Rated Good 3 Rail – Out 3 metres 1000m to WP, True Remainder. Race 4: Sabois Maiden Plate 1550m Bar Gem is going well, has stuck on strongly in his past two starts in decent races, looks to have found a very suitable race here rising in distance, will race on the speed and should prove hard to catch. Pearl Bandit hasn’t done much in his career to date but finds a race with...
Track – Good 4 Rail – True Race 5: BM 60 Handicap 1350m Exalted Dee is an honest type racing well, hit the line nicely last start at Murray Bridge and looks to find a very winnable race here for the in form Grant Young Stable. Should get a soft run on the fence midfield, will need luck but if Raquel can get her into the clear, she should be hard to hold out late. Aussie Jack was a good winner...
Race 1: UBET Handicap 1600m They went very slowly here. Burrum’s Buzz (1st) sat just behind the speed, travelled up strongly and was the strongest late, got the job done, is probably better suited with a stronger tempo. Kirona (2nd) led, kept finding in the straight but was entitled too. Billet Doux (3rd) settled last, took the lead 200m out but knocked up late, the slow tempo didn’t suit. Race...
