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.
