Three out of four ain’t bad…
Three out of four yesterday, though we needed to wait till the get-out at Warwick Farm for our winner…
No-one was tipping Sweysive (5 units ew), even though he presented as the second fav, and drifted to an unwanted price of $7.50/$2.60 before the off, but we were confident with Josh Parr onboard and the additional 200m that he’d be in the mix, and he was never headed, a super win that’s been on the cards…
Cornelian Bay (2 units ew) ran a much-improved race for third at $3.50, while The Years (5 units ew) was a touch disappointing to run fourth, but he’s he still on the list…
Four more for Thursday, three really good EW bets and a roughie…
Midweek’s fantastic four…
The Light Fandango
Ballina R4
An improved effort 14 days ago for second this T&D and certainly rates another chance in this at $4.80 with promising apprentice Siena Grima onboard.
BET: 5 units ew
Social Conscience
Sale R7
Hasn’t been that far away this prep, has a late finish in him, good track stats and fav jockey T Stockdale hops back on (9:2-3), rates a decent EW shot in this at $9.50.
BET: 4 units ew
Yosemite Falls
Rockhampton R4
Went in the book with a gritty win in Jan last year but has had a couple of breaks away and resumed three weeks ago here. She’s an out and out frontrunner but needed that race as she faded behind another of our BBers in Graysong, who’s since won again. Huxtable sticks, won second up, must include as she’ll be fitter today, $5.50 on offer.
BET: 5 units ew
Alterno
Geraldton R7
Been an awful long time between drinks for this lad, some significant improvement required in order to feature here, interest only at $18…
BET: 2 units ew
