Nice winner…
A winner from our two tips yesterday, with Ditterich (10 unit win) finally getting his act together, and though a little green still, got up nicely for us at $3.40.
Eight for the midweeks, and some big odds on offer…

Nortibutnice
Riccarton R7 – 5:47pm
Resumes from a four month break, very nice first-up stats (4:2-2), great stats also for T&Ds, on the soft, and in this class, and trialled up with a second recently. Must keep safe, value bet at $8.50…
BET: 5 units ew
Primo
Sandown R3 – 6:50pm
Was in solid form early in his career before running last twice mid-year last year in BM72s before heading to the paddock, possibly with an issue. Resumed three weeks ago from a long break obviously needing the run under Jye, who sticks today, $31 outsider but sole win came second-up and at this distance. Possible sleeper…
BET: 3 units ew
Valieva
Strathalbyn R1 – 3:35pm
Keeping us waiting for that maiden win and pushes out to the mile here. Jockey is 4:0-3 onboard, will get her chance, $6.50 on offer.
BET: 4 units ew
Wheels
Strathalbyn R6 – 6:30pm
Ex-Kiwi mare, she clattered home late six days ago at Oakbank, and on the quick back-up here. Drops in grade again but still needs to find something, $19 shot.

Hayai Mesu
Strathalbyn R7 – 7:05pm
Form has fallen right away recently, only one win in 34, roughie’s chance only at $23…

Frankel Star
Strathalbyn R8 – 7.40pm
Resumed from a long break 24 days ago and barely figured but will have taken benefit from the too-short run. Expect him to improve on that, could make a place, $51 on offer…
BET: 3 units ew
Fortuneer
Ipswich R5 – 7:33pm
Lightly-raced mare resuming, won her first three career starts and went well in subsequent races up in grade. Back in grade here, has had a trial, and can win this as $2.40 fav.
BET: 8 unit win
