4-3-2 but no 1…

No surprise to see Gore abandoned due to the wild weather yesterday, reducing our book down to five, and best we could do was second, third and fourth in the Geelong Cup, with hot fav Gilded Water surprisingly beaten…

It’s seven from the book for TGIF, with a night meeting at the Valley ahead of the Cox Plate tomorrow before extensive changes are made to the course, let’s load up the account for the weekend!!

TGIF Super Seven…

Recovery Road

Scone R2

4:45pm

We’ve been keeping an eye on him, and he was noted running an improver’s fifth at Tamworth 25 days ago and tagged as such, then ran a better third at Coonamble when only a long neck away. Bell back onboard from that fifth, fitter and ready to play a part in this as he tries the 2200m for the first time, at $9 he’s the sleeper in this…

Shuri

Scone R7

7:55pm

Needed the resuming run at Newcastle 17 days ago, one of his wins came second-up but he does need to step up somewhat to figure here at $20.

BET: 2 units ew

Fortified

Mackay R3

5:34pm

Getting plenty of running time but don’t lets those numbers fool you, he’s ran last or next to last in small races in his past four. Needs to lift, $17.

Super Extreme

Canberra R7

7:03pm

Has been better this prep, and rarely far off. Step up the mile should suit, jockey has won one of two onboard, needs a step up to beat this fav, who’s beaten him in the last two runs, still rates a decent EW punt for us at $10…

BET: 4 units ew

Hot Too Go

Moonee Valley R3

9:15pm

Bit plain when boxed in at Caulfield 13 days ago but was going well prior. Will be dangerous back in this grade and steps out to the 2040m here, well in this as $6 second fav.

Berkshire Breeze

Moonee Valley R7

11:15pm

Open betting race this one and BB ready to peak fourth race into this prep. Likes this distance (5:1-1-1) and Mickey De’’s placed two from three up top, EW punt at $6 all day…

BET: 5 units ew

He’ll Rip

Moonee Valley R8

11:45pm

Certainly did that at Flem a month ago with a ripping finish to clean ‘em out at $8 for us. The jump to the mile shouldn’t be an issue, he’s won and placed there before, Benny Allen sticks, and though up in grade a touch he’s right in this at $5.
