A winner and two thirds…
Back in the winners’ circle yesterday with Drift Net skating home despite a betting drift (ha!) giving us a great return for our 5 units ew, paying $6.80/$1.90.
Add two thirds to that in Hayai Mesu ($1.50) and Flattered ($1.55).
Six from the book today and plenty of chances…
Thursday’s Six of the Best…
Interllectus
Te Aroha R6
Slightly easier task for him here, he’s been thereabouts this prep without winning, this is his chance as $3.90 second fav in a small field.
BET: 6 unit win
More Than Words, Mormaire, June Bug
Riccarton R8
MTW has been going round at odds and rarely far off without winning. Her T&Ds suggest she’s right in this very even betting contest.
Mormaire resumed with a solid third at odds when resuming 27 days ago and while her win rate is poor, she rates an EW chance at $15.
June Bug finished last prep poorly and resumes from a 125 day break. All her wins have been on soft and she’s 5:0-0 first-up, so not sure she can feature here as a $31 shot.
BET: MTW 5 units ew, M 3 units ew, JB 2 units ew, exotics could be spicy…
Croatian Belle
Bendigo R6
Impressive winning her first two, has gone OK since but without threatening to win. Both wins have been over this distance, she resumes after a 6 month break and Micky Dee has won up top. Fav will be hard to knock off, but our girl can run a place at $9.
BET: 4 units ew
Call Him Iggy
Bendigo R8
The two wins from his first two runs were impressive before he headed to a BM70 at Flem. Resumed 18 days ago with a solid third, first time on soft going, has won second-up and presents today as $4.40 second fav. On-pacer, fitter, and a real shot from the ace draw, if J Mott gets him out sharpish he’ll take some catching in this even betting race.
BET: 5 units ew
