Another Magnificent Seven (from ten)…
Ten tips, one winner, two seconds, two thirds and two fourths on a busy little Sunday…
Another astonishing winner in Lost His Beans (8 unit win), I nearly lost mine when he dropped out the back, seemingly trapped on the fence, and no apparent chance at the final bend, but he found a way through right on the fence and steamed home to win a blanket finish in most impressive fashion at $2.60. He’s belting through the grades and that’s five straight wins for him, one to watch!!
Seconds for Divakara ($2.60, next time) and Tydeus ($1.50, got too far back), thirds for Effortkat ($2.90) and Coin Toss ($2.30, also next time) and fourths for Enrico and Telegraph.
Five from the book on Labour Day, and strangely enough all at Te Rapa, let’s have a look!!
Five from Te Rapa…
Ess Vee Are
Te Rapa R1
Needed the resuming run last month and ran a better race up in distance 15 days a go at Rotorua. The further jump out to 2400m should really suit, and with three-time winner S Weatherley onboard and his good record at the track, he looks the one to beat in this, $3.30 co-fav, watch for him late in the piece…
BET: 10 unit win
Jack In The Box
Te Rapa R2
Far better run on his favoured heavy going 12 days a go, steaming home for third, but gets a good track today and he’s 6:0-0 on that surface, so interest only today at $19.
BET: 2 units ew
Gospodin
Te Rapa R5
Ditto for this lad, likes the track but needs some cut in the ground, same as above at $8.
BET: 2 units ew
Vistown
Te Rapa R6
We rated her a real chance 23 days ago at Tauranga, but she couldn’t finish it off. Sam sticks, drops back to 1300m and the firmer surface may assist, EW at $11 in a very competitive betting race…
BET: 4 units ew
Erin Go Bragh
Te Rapa R7
Led all the way for a nice win on debut at Taupo 17 days ago, a touch green but nevertheless a win, can’t him for that… Wozza jumps on today, that’s no knock, can’t see why he won’t improve for the run, but it is a big jump from maidens to G2. We’ll keep him safe though, at $26…
BET: 3 units ew
