Four from six…
Four dividends from six yesterday, with You Ess Ess Are running second, and fourths from Frankel Star, Winning Aces and Tactfull.
TGIF, and four from the book today, all with prospects at nice odds…
Four chances on TGIF…
CHAKANA
Tauranga, 5
Returning from a 19 month absence. Went over to Aussie after a very good prep here two years ago, and ran three nice races. Back in NZ with Stephen Marsh she presents today over a shorter trip, and you would think this is probably a tune-up for her. $19 outsider in a small field.
BET: 5 unit win
MALI STON
Tauranga, 7
Won four on the bounce two years back, the last one at G2, and has been competing at that level since. Drops significantly in grade today, and has gone well over the mile (8:2-3) and on this going. $6.50 shot in an open betting race, definitely a chance…
BET: 5 units ew
ROYAL FOX
Cranbourne, 5
OK, he’s a perennial backmarker with a good finish, so we’re thinking the stretch out to 2080m has got to suit. The second placing first up behind Plenty of Ammo was decent, expecting him to break through today at $5.
BET: 5 units ew
WINCHESTER RIFLE
Launceston, 6
First time in Tassy, this is his fav distance and this is another open betting race. He’s at $10 and right in this.
BET: 5 units ew
