Two thirds…

Two thirds from our three yesterday, so a small return on our EW Trixie in Valieva ($1.40) and Miss Intention ($2.70).

Six from the book to start the week…

Six for Monday…

Tranzed

Otaki R7

Noted in November with a tough second, earning a next-time tag, but that was a big step for him in the G3 NZ Cup at Riccy. Back to this grade and distance he’ll be competitive for sure today, $4.20 second fav in an open race…

BET: 10 unit win

King Taurus

Moruya R2

Another recent addition to the book, he strolled in 15 days ago here, suggesting the rise to 1425m will not be a problem for this on-pacer. Nick Heywood sticks, looks like a race in two, $2.80 on offer

BET: 10 unit win, 10 unit quinella with Puntin

Forty Four Cubits, Sapphires Son

Moruya R3

FFC was fifth at this T&D 15 days ago at big odds, $23 here today and slightly preferred to SS who throws in the occasional win but has struggled mostly this prep, he’s at $18.

BET: FFC 3 units ew, SS 2 units ew, could spice up the exotics placings…

Kattegat, Gorush Lightning

Moruya R6

Kattegat is a frontrunner who led for along way here 15 days ago before getting nabbed on the line, so coming back 100m to the 1200m could suit if he strings them out. Great T&D stats, EW shot at $5.50.

GL is a 10 year old veteran, also has super T&D stats, but he hasn’t put them to use in recent runs. Resumed from two months off here, also 15 days ago, with a fifth and not too far off, but does need to find something to figure at $21.

BET: K 3 units ew, GL 2 units ew, exotics
