Three out of four ain’t bad… again…

Three out of four AGAIN yesterday…

The Light Fandango rattled home late for third at $1.50, Social Conscience also ran third after trying to lead all the way, $2.30, and Alterno improved radically to run fourth…

Six for TGIF, winners are waiting…

TGIF six…

December, Trobriand

Tauranga R5

Both these are resuming from a 100 day spell, having run fifth and seventh in the same race at Matamata in October. Both have won first up and have claims based on previous form and well capable of featuring here at $7 and $9…

BET: Both 4 units ew, include in exotics

Bold Type

Townsville R5

Seems to be stuck in second gear at the moment but he’s got stats for Africa and Wiggins sticks, have to think he’ll be in contention again at $2.50…

BET: 8 unit win

Catalina Dreaming

Townsville R9

Very consistent mare, has run two thirds this T&D so far this prep, big filed, $4.40 second fav, easy EW punt…

BET: 5 units ew

Flattered

Pakenham R3

The run in May at the Hillside in Open class was top notch, screaming home from last to run second, his fourth in six runs, then ran third at Sale before heading to the paddock. Resumes after 163 days last  month with Billy sticking, got a shade too far back on the tight Valley track but still zoomed home for third. Billy sticks again, a winner in waiting as $3.30 fav, goes in for me…

BET: 10 unit win

Winchester Rifle

Launceston R5

Has some talent but needs to lift on recent runs. D Pires is a nice booking, open race, but EW best at $8.

BET: 3 units ew
