Couple of near misses…
Hit a couple of posts in Buritz and Hasty Duchess, both running late into fourth, and they remain on the watchlist for next time…
Nine on a busy Friday…
Nine for Friday…
DESTINATION
Canterbury, 7
Mixes his form a bit but very capable on his day. The second two back at BM88 had merit, and he drops to BM78 here and rates a good EW chance at $8.
BET: 5 units ew
FABRIKKA
Moonee Valley, 4
Resumes as a $126 outsider, tends to get back and doesn’t bode well on this track in a dash for cash. Interest bet only…
BET: 2 units ew
ACQUIESCENT
Moonee Valley, 7
Tried to lead all the way at this T&D three weeks ago, finishing a close fourth. He’s been impressive in all three runs and he can bounce back here as $3 fav.
BET: 10 unit win
LUNA CAT
Moonee Valley, 8
Two very good runs this prep, with smart finishes from the back to place, including a second here. Ridden a bit more on pace and she’ll be a huge threat here as $5 second fav.
BET: 5 units ew
HIGHGROUND
Rockhampton, 3
Going well this prep, loves this T&D, was unsuited by the heavy track last time out and can make amends here as $2.30 second fav.
BET: 8 unit win
KATTEGAT
Canberra, 9
Not going well enough and only rates an EW interest bet here.
BET: 2 units ew
LOLAROSIE
Lismore, 7
Another one that mixes her form, sandwiching in a win here between two ninths in her last three. Slight drop in grade gives her an EW shot at $7.
BET: 3 units ew
AVENUE OF HEAVEN
Lismore, 9
Resumes from a 5 month spell, the win in August was impressive, and she can feature in the small field at $6.50.
BET: 5 unit win
NUMPTY
Kilmore, 5
Consistent mare who’s usually thereabouts, and is co-fav here at around $3.80, backable ew in a close betting race.
BET: 5 units ew, 8 unit win if the money comes…
