Patience pays off…

Our patience with Firriato (10 unit win) was finally rewarded with a well-timed run by Opie to get up for us at $2.50.

It’s My Turn (5 units ew) ran second at $2.40.

TGIF, and it’s racing at New Plymouth plus nine meetings in Aussie, including a night meeting at the Valley. Eight from the book, let’s fill those wallets ahead of Cox Plate day…

Eight for TGIF…

CROATIAN BELLE

Moonee, 1

Won her first two (here) but has had her career interrupted by a couple of breaks. Returned here late August with a solid run for fourth, will have taken benefit from that and rates an EW shot at $8.50 with M Zahra taking the ride.

BET: 4 units ew

JOLTIN’ JOE

Moonee Valley, 3

Has run well here but needs to be closer in the run on this tight track. If so, EW shot at $19.

BET: 3 units ew

SECRET LOCATION

Mornington, 7

Form a bit in and out but drops in grade for this, EW shot in an even betting race, $7.

BET: 4 units ew

Another backmarker, two runs have been OK, ready for this as $4.60 second fav.
