Race 1. (12:50) Ive Print Hcp 1300m
* Above offers may only be available to select customers.
Back Me
1 Miss Dunsford (Bet Now: $3.10) gets the nod in the opener. Daughter of Dissident that debuted over 1200m at Pakenham where she was specked at odds but was trucking in the run. Just a matter of getting clear air and once she got it, she exploded and surged hard late to win. Off that, she’ll eat up 1300m and be strong late.
Danger
2 Born Hustler (Bet Now: $5.50) is an interesting runner. With the colours and name, you’d assume she’s related to Brooklyn Hustle and that she is, being a half sister. Jumpouts have been pretty good. Debuting at 1300m I find interesting but being out of Tarzino, it’s understandable. Market will be the guide.
Long Shot
5 Merchelle (Bet Now: $6.00) returns to Victoria for Team Kav after debuting on the Parks track at Morphettville when wide with cover and worked to the line okay but was no match for a sharp filly in Aitch Two Oh. Fitter and up to 1300m, I think she’s in the ball game for sure.
Race 2. (13:25) Tile Importer Mdn Plate 1200m
* Above offers may only be available to select customers.
Back Me
12 Shohei (Bet Now: $1.95) on top but even money is too short. Well bred filly that debuted at Newcastle and tried hard from near the speed but had to settle for a game second to Sabino, with a gap to third. Has been accepted a few times in NSW but has been scratched in waiting for a dry deck and she gets it here.
Danger
2 Fuller (Bet Now: $3.90) is a son of Pierro for Chris Waller that resumes. Hasn’t raced since his debut at Yarra Valley back in December when on speed and tried hard but no match late for the finale of Ain’tsheserious. Form out of the maiden has been strong, liked a recent jumpout and maps super on speed.
Long Shot
3 Galaxy Ruler (Bet Now: $14.00) is one for wider multiples. Resumed at Geelong when off the pace and was there to threaten. He did make ground but was never a threat when fifth to Hongbao. Fitter and up to 1200m are two big ticks, plus the stable is in form. Including in exotics.
Race 3. (14:00) Thoroughbred Club (bm70) 1400m
* Above offers may only be available to select customers.
Back Me
6 Lady Court (Bet Now: $3.40) looks ready to rock and roll first up for Peter Moody. Had a two run Spring prep, debuting with an impressive on speed win at Pakenham before being smashed in betting at The Valley and for mine, she just didn’t handle the tight track. Two jumpouts to get ready and fresh at 1400m tells me she’s ready to go, potentially with an eye towards Brisbane.
Danger
4 Versilia (Bet Now: $2.60) is the hard fit/in form horse but I am surprised she is favourite. Last two starts/wins have come over 1400m at Pakenham. Visually, they have been impressive wins, but she has been blessed each time with perfect rides/runs. But, at least she took advantage, maps well again and stable is flying.
Long Shot
5 Succeed Indeed (Bet Now: $15.00) is the one at odds I could speck. Ran over this track/distance last time out when dragged back from a wide gate and was never a threat, but liked the way she finished off. If the inside gate is used to advantage, I think she could be dangerous at a price.
Race 4. (14:40) Behind The Barriers 14/5-bm64 1300m
* Above offers may only be available to select customers.
Back Me
5 Lafargue (Bet Now: $4.40) on top but not really a race I want to get involved in. Danny O’Brien trained three year old that spanked them in a maiden two back at Echuca before going to Sandown when back off the speed and chased strongly when a close up third to Black Bolt. Should get into a sweet spot from the gate and he has the hard fitness.
Danger
Market will be fascinating with 1 Arran Bay (Bet Now: $4.60), who resumes for Phillip Stokes. This guy has been kept on ice since the Spring/Summer, where he won a couple of races on the bounce before ending the prep with a third at Flemington. Two jumpouts and a trial suggest he’s ready to go here, but market will be the guide.
Long Shot
7 Defrosted (Bet Now: $17.00) has done little wrong this time in for Grahame Begg and commands respect in a race like this. She ran over 1400m last time out at Sandown and tried hard from on speed but was clearly no match for Rebel’s Choice. She’ll put herself near the front and give her all.
Race 5. (15:20) Ladbroke It (bm70) 1200m
* Above offers may only be available to select customers.
Back Me
10 Foturi (Bet Now: $5.50) has returned in super order. Two runs this time in have come at Pakenham, resuming with a maiden win over 1200m before stepping up to 1400m when wide no cover for the trip yet stuck on well when third to a talented animal, Baretta. Back to 1200m I like and with luck from the gate, he’ll take beating.
Danger
7 Cirrina (Bet Now: $5.50) is several weeks between runs for Michael Moroney since racing over 1200m at Mornington where she tried hard from on speed but failed to finish it off when second to dominant winner Quintello. She’ll be near the front and giving a sight.
Long Shot
6 Cheerful Legend (Bet Now: $7.50) is an interesting runner. John Sadler trained three year old that resumes and returns to racing as a gelding. His Spring/Summer prep was sound, which included a game effort during the Carnival behind Extreme Flight. Just one soft jumpout, market watch for sure, especially with this stable.
Race 6. (16:00) Ladbrokes Mega Multi (bm78) 2100m
* Above offers may only be available to select customers.
Back Me
17 Detonator Jack (Bet Now: $3.30) is heading towards a Derby path you would assume with a win here and this should be winning. He’s a very progressive animal for the Maher/Eustace camp, winning 2/2. Bolted up over the mile last time out where he got completely lost when hitting the front and really, the margin flattered his rivals. With a bunny to chase, he’ll be far more effective.
Danger
13 Austrata (Bet Now: $3.80) has found winning form for Chris Waller. Can he hold it? Peach from J Kah saw this well bred galloper win over 1800m at Sandown last start. He was there to be beaten but had the ideal sit and was strong to the line. Like him up to 2100m and is the only threat.
Long Shot
12 Lunatic Fringe (Bet Now: $11.00) might want one more but the stable is going well and her return was quite encouraging, which came over the mile at Sandown when a solid fourth to a pretty classy filly I feel in My Whisper. I think that form is good enough to measure up here. Just whether she wants one more, not sure.
Race 7. (16:40) Ladbrokes Live Betting (bm70) 1400m
* Above offers may only be available to select customers.
Back Me
16 Oriental Legend (Bet Now: $4.80) for me. John Sadler trained three year old that comes back to 1400m after racing over 1800m last time out when on speed and tried hard, but just wanted to lay in under pressure and tired late when fourth to Deepstrike. Back to 1400m I like and Zahra is a strong left handed whip rider so the laying in should be negated.
Danger
15 Princess Rhaenys (Bet Now: $8.50) is a quality mare for Peter Moody that makes her long awaited return to racing. She did a good job when last in work, which was around this time last year. Had the two runs, winning fresh before a fourth to Hungry Heart in the Vinery Stud at Rosehill. Market will tell you if she’s ready to go.
Long Shot
7 Governor Landy (Bet Now: $13.00) is in career best form for Tony Noonan. He is looking to make it three on the bounce, the latest win being a spank job over this trip on the Hillside course and he really powered to the line. Drawn tricky, more depth here, but hard to knock the way he’s racing.
Race 8. (17:15) Ladbrokes Same Race Multi-bm78 1600m
* Above offers may only be available to select customers.
Back Me
I’ll take a chance with 1 Hosier (Bet Now: $6.00), who resumes for Team Williams. Created such a good impression during the Winter/Spring before a howler on Stakes Day at Flemington, but was found to be sore behind, so he had excuses. If he’s right to go, he’s better than these. Market will be key.
Danger
10 Eagles Crag (Bet Now: $3.40) is a quality animal for Archie Alexander that resumes. Whether this is a prep run for Warrnambool, not entirely sure, but he does have a fair amount of quality and stable finds J Kah first up, which is usually a good lead. Recent jumpout was strong and does no work from the gate.
Long Shot
2 Trosettee (Bet Now: $18.00) looks set up for a Warrnambool assault big time I feel, potentially the Cup. Australian debut came over the mile at Mornington where he was given the suck run out the back and worked to the line strongly when fourth to It’s Tornado Storm. Staying at the mile tells me this is a prep run for the Bool but he has plenty of ability.
