Another next-timer…

Livalittle scorched home too late for a narrow second, surely next time for him!

Eight for TGIF today, and dare we say it, all in with a chance!

TGIF Eight…

Boy

New Plymouth R1

2:38pm

Had run a second and a couple distant fourths this prep before a closer fourth over the mile just behind today’s fav 16 days ago, suggesting the rise to the 2000m today will suit nicely. Gets Masa up top, EW all day at $4.80, watch for late money…

BET: 5 units ew

Empressive

New Plymouth R7

6:05pm

Impressive on debut in June when she came from way back to get up by a nose at big odds beating Show Merican and looks a great EW punt in a very open betting race at $10.

BET: 5 units ew

Tydeus

Port Lincoln R4

6:30pm

Resumed 16 days ago out in the sticks from a 7 month break with a nice win, has won two from six second-up and rates a decent chance with fav jockey back onboard (7:2-2-1), $4.50 on offer.

BET: 5 units ew

Setteveli, More Sugar

Port Lincoln R6

7:50pm

S has been racing just OK and rarely far off but without threatening. Drops back to the 1000m which means he’ll have to jump better than usual in order to feature, if so, he’s an EW shot at $6.50.

MS is back from a six month break, has placed three from seven first-up and has won here. Keep safe at $15!

BET: Both 4 units ew, exotics

Midnight Ruler

Port Lincoln R8

8:55pm

Resumed at Clare needing the run as suspected after seven months away but he’s back on his fav track where he is 9:2-2-0 in the rest of his career and back on firmer ground. EW again, he can feature at $17..

BET: 4 units ew

Mazzini

Launceston R6

10:00pm

He’s 2:2 and backed up the 7 length debut win with an all-the-way win this T&D three weeks back. This is tougher and there’s three others in this small field with impressive credentials, making for a fascinating race, but we’ll stick with our lad, $3.10 shot.

BET: 8 unit win

Lady Galadriel

Launceston R7

10:30pm

Backed into ref figures hugely on resuming 23 days ago after an 8 month break, but just ran out of puff late, only beaten a long neck into third, and will strip fitter for that effort, can beat this fav, $3.40 on offer…

BET: 10 unit win
