NZ today…
Let Fly
Ellerslie R1
Finding it tough to feature in this grade, but a bit closer last time out here. Doesn’t want it heavy, EW at $9.50.
BET: 3 units ew
Shamus
Ellerslie R6
The mile seemed to be his undoing here 35 days ago but had won here previously for us at big odds. Back to 1300m will suit, $8 on offer.
BET: 4 units ew
Aegon, Not Ideal
Ellerslie R7
Aegon back from a stint in Aussie, so hard to rule him out here at $5 in a wide open betting race.
Not Ideal, the name says it all at the moment, this is his distance, but needs to improve as $51 outsider…
BET: Aegon 4 units ew, NI 2 units ew
Marengo
Ellerslie R8
Only missed the first two once in seven runs, resumes today from a huge 245 day break. Trialled under Wazza and can go a good race in another open betting event at $6.
BET: 5 units ew
Testify Me
Wanganui R7
Not shown much this time in, EW at $9.50.
BET: 3 units ew
Jack In The Box
Wanganui R8
Finished well for third 14 days ago at Tauranga, but he’s a real mudlark, and is 8:0-0 on top of the ground, don’t think this is his day, $8 on offer…
BET: 2 units ew
Aussie today…
Mathew
Caulfield R3
Generally thereabouts and the push out to 2400m could help, EW shot at $21.
BET: 3 units ew
Naval College, Berkeley Square, Mankayan
Caulfield R8
NC improved on his first run despite getting blocked in the run late on, gets an upgrade in D Lane, looks set to figure in this at $6.50.
BS is in great form, winning or placing in his last five races, will be swooping late, $8 looks tasty.
Mankayan has form at this track and at this distance, this is a step up though, $23 today.
BET: NC & BC 5 units ew, M 2 units ew
Mollynickers
Caulfield R10
Another who’s been close without winning, EW shot at $9.
BET: 3 units ew
Ramones
Rosehill R2
Resumes after 6 months away but has trialled up nicely. Placed 3 from 4 first-up, EW at $15.
BET: 3 units ew
Sonofdec
Rosehill R3
Not shown much since winning in May, likes it soft, has a decent finish, so not out of this at $19.
BET: 3 units ew
Drift Net
Rosehill R4
Two runs this prep earned him next-time tags, she can make amends here at $4.40.
BET: 5 units ew
State Of America, Goldman, Sky Lab
Rosehill R9
SOA is in superb form, biggest challenge to date, but will be descending late as $4.60 second-fav.
The other two are around the $20 mark, looks a bit tough for them, possible places…
BET: 3 units ew
Tara Jasmine
Doomben R1
Bit hit and miss, $18 on offer.
BET: 2 units ew
Namazu
Doomben R8
Ditto but capable of better on resuming today. Trialled twice, $34.
BET: 3 units ew
Eaglelou
Morphettville R3
Surprise $41 Hall of Famer for us here two weeks back, pushes out to 1950m and up in grade, chance on that at $16.
BET: 3 units ew
Artful Tawny
Morphettville R5
Thereabouts recently, up in distance and still rates a chance at $6.
BET: 4 units ew
Deepfloat Diva
Morphettville R6
Down in grade a touch, will go close in this at $4.20.
BET: 5 units ew
Blazing Tycoon, Miss Intention
Ascot R1
At $81 and $101, this would be some quinella! Unlikely, interest only
BET: Both 2 units ew if you feel inclined…
Saloon Bar
Ascot R8
In very consistent form, this is a jump but could feature late at $26.
BET: 3 units ew
