4 from 4 placed…

A series of placings yesterday for all our picks, Gosford being abandoned…

Lord Spencer did better than expected on resuming, running into third as did Secret Location and Set The Sails, while Catalina Dreaming ran fourth.

Five for TGIF, some good odds on show from resuming runners…

Five for TGIF…

Kattegat

Orange R4

Not far away in most of his runs but struggling to finish off. Back to 1000m here may assist as his stats show (21:5-6), won his only start here and jockey onboard he’s placed three from six, might be his day today, $9.50 on offer…

Rule Of Time

Geelong R5

She’s a bit hit and miss but good on her day. Resumes from a six month break and has a good record here (3:1-2), in this grade ((8:1-3) and also first-up (3:1-1). Jockey is also 1:1 onboard. Trialled three times, this may be a touch short, but if she’s a bit closer than usual in the run, she can feature late, $18 today…

Sir Boo

Port Macquarie R6

Returns from a big 231 day break, and while he has a decent record first up, this again looks a bit short for this perennial backmarker. Could show up late, might need this one, $26 shot.

Cool Encounter

Rockhampton R6

Yet another resuming, though J Stanley rode him in a recent trial and sticks for the race… and yes, looks a bit short for him too. $14 shot.

Lady Shotgun

Gold Coast R7

The win here in December was just amazing before moving up in grade, where she’s been going round at odds without success, but ran a fast-finishing fourth a month ago here where she’s 5:3-0. Watch late, $42.0 fav in this.
