Get in!
Well we banged a few goals home yesterday!
Four winners, four seconds, five thirds and a fourth, which amounts to 56% of our picks hitting the frame, OK, a touch down from the previous day’s 66%, but still pretty impressive!
Pride of place in the winners circle went to Boldinho (5 units ew) with a devastating change of gears to win paying $10.80/$3.20, Oh No Mikki followed up his unlucky second to win at $4.80 (10 unit win), Indifference (5 units ew) paying $5.40/$2.10 and Far Too Easy (10 unit win) made it look, well, far too easy at $1.50…
Places for Bermadez ($2.20), Eaglelou ($2.60), Polygon ($1.70), Henry Hubber ($1.50), The Grey Goose ($2.20), Vasmee ($3.00), Loca ($1.70), Abb Roy ($2.4) and Tokyo Tycoon (ND), with Lochnaberry running fourth.
Not a bad tipping service for 99c, money well spent!!
Eleven on a busy little Sunday, and some nice EW punts on the cards…
This Sunday’s starting eleven…
CARRIBEAN KING
Sunshine Coast, 1
Far better showing 16 days ago with a close second, out to the 1200m today and with Bayliss sticking he can win this as $3.20 fav.
BET: 10 unit win
KERMANTIC
Sunshine, 8
Good resuming from a spell three weeks ago for fourth, will have taken from that run, Brodie Loy hops on and he rates a solid EW chance at $5…
BET: 5 units ew
STELLAR POWER
Sunshine Coast, 10
Going round at big odds lately ($151 today), old-timer who’d need to improve somewhat to figure…
BET: 2 units ew
DEEP STREAM
Bendigo, 3
Been waiting for him to re-surface since October when he debuted at Wingatui, spruiked and backed and screamed home from last of 14 to run fifth. Now appears at Bendigo as the $3.20 second fav, so someone knows something… Looks like a race in two with the fav but the extra 300m looks appealing so we’ll stick with our lad…
BET: 10 unit win
REAL GUN
Bendigo, 8
He’d been tracking along well with some nice wins and places for us prior to the failure at Wodonga 23 days ago. We’ll put that down to the heavy track and he gets back to a good surface today, got a good finish on him, so $8 looks value today.
BET: 5 units ew
DONATION
Horsham, 6
Went in the book July ‘21 with a classy win at the Bool and had only missed top four once in his first eight outings then was sent for a short spell this time last year before one more non-productive run in Jan this year. Obviously had some issues as he returns today after 11 months, will probably need the run but watch the market, $11 on offer.
BET: 3 units ew
KATTEGAT
Moruya, 5
Mixes his form, runs a lot of places but is very much at home on his home track & distance. Guymer has won twice up top and will ride him somewhere near the pace. Has an odds-on fav to get past but looks an easy EW bet in this.
BET: 5 units ew
WHEELS
Bordertown, 7
Another persistent placegetter, scratched the other day and presents here as $4.40 third fav stepping back up to the 2000m where he’s won before. Watch for him late…
BET: 5 units ew
GALENUS
Hobart, 8
Last run for third last very much out of character for him as he led and faded late. Would expect him to bounce back from that today, if do the $11 is tempting…
BET: 3 units ew
ALTERNO
Geraldton, 6
Bit of an enigma this one, rarely far away but struggling to find the frame. Gets back and is capable of a good finish, so back to the 1400m may help today, maybe an EW nibble at $13, feel there’s a win in him sometime…
BET: 3 units ew
MOMBASA
Geraldton, 7
Capped off a run of placings this prep for us with a last-to-first finish here 18 days ago. Knuckey sticks in this tight betting field, and he’s a no-brainer EW wager at $4.60, watch for him swooping home late.
BET: 5 units ew
