One from two…
One from two yesterday as Puketiro (10 unit win) gave them a lesson, defying her poor second-up stats to get home at $3.00 for us.
Three today on TGIF, bit of a mix but all chances, try a Trixie…
A trio for TGIF…
Dreamstone
Wagga R4
Huge win from the front at Benalla in October but couldn’t repeat when trying same tactic a month later at the Valley. Rather fancied her back in grade 15 days ago at Seymour but she couldn’t see the 2000m out, so back to the 1800m may suit and gets fav jockey back up top (3:-2-0), $2.70 fav in this, can bounce back…
BET: 10 unit win
Oh No Mikki
Wagga R6
Great T&D stats have him right in this, does tend to get back so need him to be ridden closer to the pace in this dropping back to the 1000m. Fav jock Nick Souquet back onboard (9:3-3), down in grade and will appreciate the firm conditions, second fav at $4.60, watch for him late…
BET: 5 units ew
Cosmic Rhapsody
Stawell R7
Consistent backmarker but defied that to get home over the 1000m at Ballarat in August. Needed the resuming run 8 days ago and has decent second-up record (8:1-4) and does drop back significantly in grade to the BM58 that he won in last time. Drawn the carpark, but he’ll sit back anyway and if he manages to slot in midfield, he’ll be a danger late on, $21 looks tempting.
BET: 4 units ew
