Three from six…

Three placings from six yesterday as The Years ($1.80), Hayai Mesu ($2.30) and Miss Intention ($3.30) helped us keep some money in the coffers…

Busy little Thursday as we have the meeting in Ashburton, where we have three tips, including a thumbs-up from an owner, plus two at Bendigo… All tips feature between the $3.50 and $7.50 mark, so an EW SuperYank looks an interesting option…

I’ll give it five!!

MISTER GOLDIE

Ashburton, 4

Ran a big race at Riccy three weeks back, running second for us at $6.60 place odds, may be ready to back up the form he shown when spruiked up in November. Sam Wynne sticks, and the extra 200m looks like suiting, good EW bet today at $5.00/$2.00…

VINDICATOR

Ashburton, 6

Noted Jan last year screaming home for third under a poor ride, and marked down as such. Vindicated (haha) himself by winning in June at Timaru but plagued with a couple of break since then. Good first-up record and resumes here after another 5 month spell as a $7.50 shot, and he can work his way to the front from the wide draw, can give them something to chase…

MILLEFIORI

Ashburton, 7

Scratched at the barrier 12 days ago after the next horse in the stall was fractious. Owner says she’s back to build her confidence, but happy that she’ll go well here after running Emanon close last month. $3.40 on offer, we’re onboard!

SOCIAL CONSCIENCE

Bendigo, 5

Went in the book almost 2 years ago, early career form was very consistent but has dropped away last few runs. Better suited here than his last run at MV, drops significantly in grade to where he’s won before, likes the ground, has good first-up form, plus jockey is 4:1-2 up top. $5.50, came make the frame or even win it…

BET: 5 units ew

NUMPTY

Bendigo, 8

She really mixes her form up, but capable on her day and sports a 50% place record from 26 runs. Also back in grade and likes this distance, so another EW shot in this at $6.50.
