Hall of Fame!!
An early abandonment took away our best bet in Oenology, but if you waited until later, then you would have locked into Moxatation (3 units ew), who made the most of the drop in grade and rise in distance to get up for us at $23.00/$5.00, and an entry into the Hall of Fame!
Nine from NZ races today, and a couple of dozen from Aussie to come!
NZ today…
Not Ideal
New Plymouth R2
Former HK runner, not going well though and is 4:0-0 on heavy, only point in his favour is the 1:1 at this distance, $16 outsider.
BET: 2 units ew
Ladies Man, Gospodin
New Plymouth R5
LM resumes from a six month spell, placed 5 from 6 first-up, good record on heavy and nice T&D stats and drops hugely in grade from the G1 Bonecrusher. Easy EW bet at $11.
Gospodin never got into the G2 Foxbridge 21 days ago, better suited here, $17 on offer.
BET: LM 5 units ew, Gospodin 3 units ew, exotics
Badgeringdawitness
New Plymouth R8
Well-supported on resuming 20 days ago to win at Hawera. Likes the heavy, placed 4 from 8 over the mile, $8 makes him another easy EW bet.
BET: 4 units ew
Cork
Riccarton R5
Led all the way two runs back to win for us but never got into it 14 days ago here. Won this T&D, better suited up to the 1800m and definitely a horse for the heavy (19:5-4). $4.80 in a very close betting race and a small field.
BET: 4 units ew on NZTAB
More Than Words
Riccarton R6
Finished well for fourth here 14 days ago, and hasn’t been far off in most races this prep. Down in grade a touch and up to fav distance, watch for her late at $15.
BET: 3 units ew
Raziah, Great Time
Riccarton R7
Raziah was at big odds on debut at Puke in April, ran eighth but not far away, then backed that up at New Plymouth a month later, booming home for a close second and earning the next-time tag. Repeated the dose at Wanganui a month later before heading to the paddocks, resumes after 105 days following a trial win two weeks ago, and well worth following today at $6.50.
Great Time powered home for a tremendous win at Riverton by 5 lengths in March then ran a close sixth when up to the 1200m here in early May. Spelled since then, resumes today with Tina onboard, and if she’s come on, she’ll be the sleeper in this at $19, keep safe…
BET: Raziah 4 units ew, GT 3 units ew, exotics
June Bug
Riccarton R9
Cantered home here on the synthetic in late July and ran a close third there 21 days ago. Will probably lead, EW shot at $19…
BET: 3 units ew
Flemington
Baraqiel, Headwall
Flemington R1
Baraquiel won his first four then found the Flem straight a challenge when running third two months ago. Will be better for that experience and well worth following at $8.50 in this open event.
Headwall missed the placings for the first time in eight runs 14 days ago at Rosehill, chance to bounce back at $13.
BET: B 5 units ew, H 3 units ew
Si Si Milano
Flemington R2
Working through the grades nicely, up again here after a second at Pak 15 days ago, EW shot here for sure at $9.
BET: 4 units ew
Symphony Of Colour
Flemington R3
Was going well prior to the break, up in grade and this will be a test but she’s a decent filly so could provide some value at $19.
BET: 3 units ew
First Settler, Ndola
Flemington R4
FS impressive in his two wins from two, up in grade, can go on with it as $7.50 second fav, but fav here hard to beat. Easy EW bet.
Ndola moving along similarly, won two from three, third fav at $9.
BET: Both 4 units ew, exotics with fav.
Berkshire Breeze
Flemington R5
Ditto for BB this prep, beaten by Horrifying 6 weeks ago, can get revenge here, $3.60 fav.
BET: 8 unit win
Pinstriped, Antino
Flemington R8
Finished first and fourth in the Memsie, tougher here as $10 and $14 shots but chances to fill places.
BET: 3 units ew, exotics
