Two poor rides…

Two from the book and two poor rides in our opinion, ridden way too far back to be able to make any impression at the sharp end of the race, nothing we can do about that!!

Six on TGIF, featuring the completion of the abandoned Magic Millions meeting which was abandoned last Saturday on the Gold Coast, and so VERY rough odds on offer…

Six roughies on TGIF…

Sky Lab

Gold Coast R1

Form is possibly slightly better than it looks, and he’ll certainly enjoy the give in the ground he’s likely to get today. Can’t write him off, $13 shot…

BET: 4 units ew

Zoubaby

Gold Coast R5

Big jump in grade but ran a close fourth in a G3 20 days ago after a dominant win at Randwick two weeks previously. Should be thereabouts if she races handily, $34 on offer…

BET: 4 units ew

Gorush Lightning

Moruya R7

Struggling of late but gets fav jockey onboard, $26 shot.

BET: 2 units ew

Sapphires Son

Moruya R8

Again not racing with any great impression, $34 shot, even with J Penza up top…

BET: 2 units ew

Scenic Rim

Dalby R5

Another who has been struggling to make an impression in recent runs, will need to improve a lot to feature here at $31…

BET: 2 units ew

Bullet Wing

Penola R8

Resumed 41 days ago at Morks, and we thought with his front-running style he might be dangerous back at the 1000m sprint, but he jumped last and stayed there. Second-up stats are good, back to his favoured 1400m, ready to improve, $8.50 on offer.
