OHW needed the run
Just the one in Chico Sonado yesterday, dominated but faded badly, needed the run, maybe next time…
Five on a holiday Good Friday, let’s see if we can make it a Better Friday!!! Try the late qadi at Geelong including our picks…
Five for Good Friday…
CAP DE JOIE, GRINGOTTS
Geelong, 5
These two will make it interesting, both in fine form at the moment, and we spruiked CDJ to get home two weeks ago at the Valley, she’ll be finishing on late as the $2.25 fav, while Kiwi-bred Gringotts has strung two together and goes here as second fav at $3.50.
BET: Edging to CDJ, 10 unit win, 10 unit quinella with the Kiwi…
KAPALUA SUNSET
Geelong, 6
She got up for us on the same day as CDJ, but here, and while she moves up in grade, Mott sticks, and she looks a value runner here at $23…
BET: 5 units ew
BERMADEZ, VERANSKOVA
Geelong, 7
Some good ‘uns in this, but Bermadez is on the return today after 4 months off, and sports a very decent first-up stat (5:4-0) and was running in Listed races prior to the break. Has won for us previously, and the $19 also makes him value. Veranskova boomed home at Flem two weeks back, and must be considered on the back of that as a $7 shot…
BET: Back both 5 units ew, exotics
MAKTASTIC
Ascot, 5
Only one win in 25, but 11 placings. E+Ran seventh in his last two, but drops in grade and distance for this and presents as the $3 fav. Parnham up top points to win number two….
BET: 8 unit win
PLAINLY SPOKEN
Ascot, 1
Returned from a short spell 12 days ago and faded on the run in after some support in the betting. Fitter for that, and is well-regarded, chance here at $26…
BET: 4 units ew
