Friday 23rd December 2023

A promising third…

One scratching left us with three yesterday, Gold Tracker (5 units ew) the only placing with his typical late finish, paying $1.60. More to come if they can get him on pace…

Just the seventeen today, bit quieter Saturday than usual as we head for Christmas…

Seventeen from the book…

CINDY FALLS

Te Rapa, 1

Prefers softer ground where her form sits, faded late up in this grade a month back, up to the 2100m here, maybe a place at $13…

BET: 2 units ew

IDYLLIC

Trentham, 3

The win three back was unreal before hopping up to this grade for a couple of midfield finishes. Tuned up for this with a win in a small fielded trial win, Lisa sticks, and she presents as the $3.10 fav here, can win this.

BET: 8 unit win

BELCLARE

Trentham, 6

Form this prep well back from what she’s capable of, though last run was only 1.7 lengths off the winner. Lisa onboard here too, makes her an EW shot at $9…

BET: 2 units ew

MANIFIQUE, TESTIFY ME, INMYSHADOW

Trentham, 7

Hard to see Manifique beaten here after her 8.3 length demolition 14 days ago, justifying her $1.70 fav status here. TM ($12) and IMS ($19) can spice up the exotics…

BET: Manifique 10 unit win, other two 2 units ew, exotics with M to win

GREYT MUMMA

Moonee Valley, 2

Resumes after 168 days, plenty of talent, lost a couple under Billy Pinn’s DQs, Froggy jumps onboard and she rates an excellent EW shot as a $5 shot.

BET: 5 units ew

PHILOSOPHER

Moonee Valley, 5

On-pacer, perfect for the Valley, gets Ms Hefel up top and will be hard to catch, can make it three in a row here as $3.60 fav.

BET: 10 unit win

TURBEAU

Moonee Valley, 9

Finished well at Morks three weeks ago and sports good second-up stats (7:2-2). $7 second fav, EW here.

BET: 5 units ew

POSSIBLY SO

Randwick, 3

Ran on well on resumption, up to the mile should suit but up in grade, so EW shot at $26.

BET: 2 units ew

LITTLE RICH BOY

Murray Bridge, 4

Rarely far off and ran third for us 8 days ago at SP $14. EW chance again at $10 in this.

BET: 3 units ew

MORE SUGAR

Murray Bridge, 5

Resumes from 101 days away, and she’s back in grade and distance. Will need to be closer in the run as she usually gets back, rates an EW punt at $9.

BET: 3 units ew

LUNAR HERO

Murray Bridge, 7

Resumed 15 days ago, and though up in grade we spruiked him to go close and he duly obliged. Up again to BM82 but rates EW again as a $10 shot.

BET: 3 units ew

COSTA SMERALDA

Wyong, 4

Nice win on debut here in September. Was down to run in the week but returns here today as $3 co-fav, race in two.

BET: 10 unit win

SAVVY LAD

Eagle Farm, 5

Up in grade, won last time despite a drift in betting, $19 shot here but still EW at $19.

BET: 2 units ew

BRILLIANT MIND, BOLD TYPE

Cairns, 4

Stablemates who both won last time out, $2.50 and $4.40 in the betting, back around them both in exotics.

BET: Exotics appeal here.
