Happy birthday to us!!
We’ve hit a rich vein of form around our second anniversary!
Two years of tipping for you, and our Hall of Fame now features over 150 winners or placings in double figures, plus countless other winners!
Ha She made it worth the wait yesterday as Ryan Hurdle rated her beautifully at Naracoorte (4 units ew, $6.50/$2.60).
Earlier, our banker bet in Talisker strolled home at $1.30 (sell the farm, 10 unit win).
Chandon Burj (4 units ew) came back from Saturday racing to run a close second at $1.90.
A quieter Monday, surprising there’s no NZ racing today, three meetings from Aussie, with five tips, let’s have a look!
Five for Monday…
AND WE DANCED
Wagga, 5
Former Waller runner now with new stable, returns from a 15 month spell and she’s been running nicely in her lead-up trials. Gets a nice claimer up top, will relish the drop in grade, and if she’s anything like, she should clean these out as $2.90 fav.
BET: 10 unit win
OH NO MIKKI, BACKWATER TRADER
Wagga, 8
ONM’s early career was excellent but been a bit patchy since. Resumes today, another one who’s trialled up well with a win here 12 days ago. Watch for him late, just needs to be closer in the run, $8.50 on offer. BT couldn’t uphold his next-time status at Leeton last time out after previously blocked for a run while flashing home here in late August. Same profile as ONM really, and a chance at $19…
BET: Back both 3 units ew, will spice up the exotics…
HANDSHAKE
Warrnambool Racing Club, 5
Tricky one this… Handshake has been there or thereabouts in his last seven runs, and we fancied him to get up last time, but just beaten by Morpurgo, who had been scratched but spruiked by his trainer. They clash again today, but with Zaynudin adding a new element. Good race… We’ll stick with Handshake but include the others in exotics…
BET: HS 8 unit win, exotics
JET JITSU
Warrnambool Racing Club, 8
He won a few nice races for us last year but been off the boil this prep. Has a good finish in him, steps up to the 1400m and back in grade, so we rate him an EW shot at $11.
BET: 4 units ew
