Two places…

Couple of big placegetters yesterday, with veteran mare Moscow Red backing up from a much-improved run 14 days ago to run third at a whopping $7.40 the place.

Cool Lad is dying for a longer trip, but still ran a nice second paying $4 the place…

Three today on Friday 13th…

Friday 13th three…

King Taurus

Goulburn R1

Went in the book in December, breaking maiden status with an easy win and followed that up with a fourth then a seventh in January. Tends to be up around the pace and resumes after 136 days and a trial a month ago. Will be better for this run, but retains Nick Heywood, so keep safe over this shorter distance at $16 on offer…

Sapphires Son

Goulburn R5

Veteran gelding finding it hard to add to his thin winning stats. Back up to 1500m nay help, but does need a big improvement to feature, $19 shot.

Ballarat Synthetic R7

Former HK sprinter noted with a superb win on NY Day this year, and we expected he’d push on but didn’t threaten, though wasn’t far away. Resumed from a 105 day spell a month ago with an eighth but won a trial last week and presents today as the $8 third fav. Has won second-up and expecting him to feature today.
