Close…

Dammit, so close to a winning double from our two yesterday, with Dillinger sporting good second-up stats and out to the mile and proved to be up to the fight with a gritty win at $2.50.

Telegraph resumed under A Bullock and we were very keen he’d bounce back to winning form but just got nicked on the line by the well-supported second fav, next time for him for sure…

Six from the midweeks, more winners!!

Midweek Six

State Of America, I Am The Empire

Randwick-Kensington R4

SOA on three on the bounce going through the grades in the Spring before a close fifth at Listed level. Resumed from a break 11 days ago over a too-short 1400m needing the run and finds a more suitable assignment here up to 1800m and down in grade. Possesses a great finish, so look for him late, $6.50 on offer…

IATE on the other hand is a frontrunner, resuming from a 144 day break and is placed 3 from 4 first up, has trialled so could threaten if ready in this small field…

BET: SOA 5 units ew, IATE 3 units ew, exotics

Matawai

Sandown R5

She’s returned well with a win and a third, faces her toughest challenge yet in this small field dominated by two very good horses, but B Shinn sticks, so a chance at $4.40.

BET: 5 unit win

Splash Landing

Strathalbyn R6

Resumed 14 days ago here with a tidy fifth, and will have benefited from that run. Good EW bet at $7 in a very open betting race, watch late!

BET: 4 units ew

Winning Aces

Belmont R5

Bolted home for us at $31 two weeks ago, so why not again? $16 in this, we’re onboard again!

BET: 5 units ew

Blazing Tycoon

Belmont R7

Inconsistent, so you really don’t know what you’re gonna get on the day… Tends to run from the back and can produce a finish, $23 on offer…

BET: 2 units ew
