Sunday winner…
Our Sunday Seven produced a winner a second and a fourth…
Rumours Abound bled last time out and we suggested she could bounce back and she certainly obliged with a powerful finish to win with something in hand at a nice $3.80, Kattegat running fourth in the same race.
Bold Response was resuming, and probably needed the run as he finished second, definitely a next-time tag on him…
Ten from the book on Auckland Anniversary Day and more winners in waiting…
Anniversary Day Top Ten…
Vistown
Tauranga R5
An improved run for fourth a month ago, hasn’t won for some time bit Jasmine’s been onboard for both wins. Back in grade, EW as second fav at $4.80.
BET: 4 units ew
Ever Charm, Global Currency
Tauranga R10
EC caught the eye 38 days ago breaking maidens when well-supported with a huge run from the rear. Now he’s got the idea he’ll be hard to beat again as $5.00 co-fav.
GC also ran an improved race a month back at Taupo for second, can find the frame again also as co-fav of three.
BET: EC 5 units ew, GC 3 units ew, exotics
Puntin
Warwick Farm R6
The win 21 days ago was dominant and impressive, going for the hattrick today and looks hard to beat, looks like the rise to the mile will suit, $2.00 fav.
BET: 10 unit win
Saltcoats, Regal Lion
Warwick Farm R7
Expected Saltcoats to make the hattrick 9 days ago but he got a bit too far back and even his trademark finish was not enough. Rises to the 2400m and fancy him to make amends in this with JMac taking the ride, $3.60 second fav.
RL has run two better fourths but might find this a bit tough at $19.
BET: Saltcoats 10 unit win, RL 2 units ew
The Light Fandango
Grafton R8
Rattled home for third, likes the track 3:1-1, $4.20 fav in a big field and rates a decent chance here.
BET: 5 units ew
Prepare For Change
Pinjarra Scarpside R5
He’s had a very chequered career, with only one win from 18 to date, and resumed early December from a huge break of 508 days, suggesting he might just need the run, as it proved as he never emerged from the pack at huge odds. Better in the next one three weeks later, keep safe EW in this at $19.
BET: 3 units ew
Alterno
Geraldton R6
A much improved run 18 days ago here when bolting home late, but will need to be closer over the shorter 1213m, $21 on offer.
BET: 3 units ew
Mombasa
Geraldton R7
Not a great winning strike rate but good place record and good track stats. Generally gets back but has a great finish in him and the rise back up to 1925m suits. Good EW shot at $19.
BET: 3 units ew
