A winner! And two thirds…
They’ re working us hard for wins this week, Damreel our lone winner yesterday with a beautifully timed from just off the pace to put ‘em away at $3.70.
Ang Pow and Capital Girl supplied a couple of third placings at $2.10 and $1.45…
Eight from the book as we head for the weekend, with some outrageous roughies…
Eight for TGIF…
BALALAIKA
Otaki, 4
Resuming after a 6 month spell, and is 4/4 first up without winning. Will not mind the anticipated heavy conditions and she looks a good EW bet at $5.50.
BET: 4 units ew
WANJIRU
Kyneton, 8
Returned from a 5 month spell last month at Seymour with a tune-up run over a too-short distance, Finished last prep with two nice wins for us, and he’ll be better for that run and back up to the 1450m today and also back in grade
BET: 4 units ew
DEVINE MISS, GORUSH LIGHTNING
Wagga, 4
DM returned from a short spell in the paddock and ran a nice third on resuming at Canberra. She’s placed 2/3 second-up and gets her fav jockey up top, and while she’s up in grade, she’ll appreciate both the distance and the track conditions. She’s an EW chance at a generous $14. Veteran GL won at odds for us two back, and while he drops back in grade, this may be a touch too much for him, $34 on offer.
BET: DM 3 units ew, GL 2 units ew, could be some value in exotics…
DUCHESS ADELE
Wagga, 6
She’s not showing enough at the moment, and while she’ll enjoy the track and distance, only worth an interest bet.
BET: 2 units ew
GEM OF THE LOCHS
Coffs Harbour, 4
Another one who spaces out her wins, but is capable of a big finish, and has won at odds for us previously. This prep has produced two fifths up in Queensland, and as usual the booking of Benny Looker will assist. EW shot at $5.50
BET: 3 units ew
TAIKUN TOMMY
Coffs Harbour, 8
Third up, and as shown on resuming, is also capable of a big finish, just needs to be a tad closer in the run. $18 on offer…
BET: 2 units ew
SILVER BO
Albany, 6
Formline makes grim reading apart from that solitary win (one of only two) back in October. We’d get all those 2 unit EW punts back in one hit if she got up at the $81…
BET: 2 units ew
