Two thirds…
Rotorua’s abandonment yesterday knocked out six of our tips, the remaining six providing two thirds in Matriarch Rose ($1.20, awful ride) and Legal Challenge ($2.50, good finish).
Six today as we kick off the week, mostly from the Ashburton meeting, and some good odds on offer….
Six the the best…
AMBERECHO, HENRY HUBBER
Ashburton, 2
They’ll need to go well to beat Challa in this, Amberecho finishing behind him in both runs this prep already, bet EW shot at $5.50. Henry Hubber has been in good form, stringing four wins together earlier this year and running second on resumption. I like the $10 on offer, he’s value at that…
BET: Back both 4 units ew, exotics with fav
SECOND THOUGHT
Ashburton, 5
She’s been very consistent and resumed well at Riccy from third two weeks back. Has won here, and definitely worth a second thought at $8…
BET: 4 units ew
BRANCASTER BOMBER
Ashburton, 7
Resumed with a close-up fifth a month ago, good T&Ds and better than his form suggests. Worth including at $18…
BET: 3 units ew
NORTIBUTNICE
Ashburton, 8
Gritty win at Riccy in March, followed that up with a win over this fav first up a month back after winning a trial. Drawn out, but don’t feel inclined to jump off her today as $4.50 second fav.
BET: 5 units ew
HAYAI MESU
Swan Hill Jockey Club, 8
Noted with a real tough win to break maidens back in March. Did just OK in the jump to BM64 but two runs this prep back in the BM58 have been more suited to her, gets Harry today and looks like adding to the single win back up to the mile. $5 shot.
BET: 5 units ew
