Moving on…
No return from our Friday three yesterday, let’s move on with four from NZ and 21 from Aussie…
NZ today…
Double Take
Ellerslie R4
Ex-HK runner who won resuming here last year but has done very little since, needs to lift somewhat, $34 shot…
BET: 2 units ew
War Of Succession, Vistown
Ellerslie R5
WOR resumed from a massive 469 day break at Wanganui in April and had trialled nicely, but never featured. Showed some nice form prior, got V Colgan up at Ellerslie 21 days ago and duly saluted at nice odds. Definitely worth keeping him safe as $4.50 second fav, drops in weight with the apprentice onboard.
Vistown generally thereabouts but finding it hard to win one. EW shot at $11.
BET: WOR 5 units ew, V 3 units ew, exotics
Ever Charm
Ellerslie R10
Two wins at the start of the prep but been struggling to follow up. Backmarker who might need longer, but EW chance at $21… Jockey has a good record (3:1-1).
BET: 3 units ew
Aussie today…
Cindy Falls, Matriarch Rose
Flemington R3
CF resumed here 21 days ago, finishing fast into nice third, she’ll be fitter for that run and should relish the extra 200m, $4.60 on offer.
MR was just behind in that race and can also feature here at a juicy $19.
BET: CF 5 units ew, MR 3 units ew, exotics
Yaldi
Flemington R6
Debuted in Aussie here 21 days ago with a close third, can go on from there, EW in this at $11.
BET: 4 units ew
Marble Nine
Flemington R9
Very consistent, back in grade, and an easy EW bet as $4.80 second fav.
BET: 5 units ew
Gentileschi
Randwick R3
Just missed 21 days ago, can make amends here, $6 on offer.
BET: 5 units ew
Carribean King
Randwick R4
Does get back in the run but finished fast for a very close fourth on resuming last month, has placed on heavy and could threaten late at $8 in a very open betting race…
BET: 4 units ew
Federer, Captain Amelia, King Ratel
Randwick R6
Federer resumes from a long break of 259 days, won his first two before a sixth prior to the break, can make a winning return after trialling up well, $4 fav.
CA finished last prep well but hasn’t come up in two runs back this time in, needs to lift but does drop in grade.
KR was in fine form in his last prep, but obviously had some issues as he returns from a mammoth 847 day break. Has trialled three times and will obviously take benefit from the run, $101 on offer.
BET: F 5 units ew, CA 3 units ew, KR 2 units ew, exotics would be fabulous!
Velocious, Zoubaby
Eagle Farm R5
V produced a super win at Te Rapa 14 days ago and debuts in Aus as a $10 shot here, EW for sure.
Z didn’t show in the G3 a month ago but the previous second here was nice, rates an EW chance at $14.
BET: F 5 units ew, Z 3 units ew
Rustic Steel
Eagle Farm R6
Will be better for resuming run but will probably need this too, $34 shot.
BET: 2 units ew
Rise At Dawn, Democracy Manifest
Eagle Farm R7
RAD resumes, and with a 3:3-0 first-up record, it’s hard to leave him out, $13 shot here.
A succulent Chinese meal awaits DM once more, especially if he can get up at $41!
BET: RAD 5 units ew, DM2 units ew
Midnight In Tokyo
Eagle Farm R10
Strong from the back on resuming, chance if she goes on with it, $21 on offer.
BET: 3 units ew
Set The Sails
Townsville R1
Has an unbeaten fav to beat but he won well here 11 days ago, $5.50 second fav.
BET: 4 units ew
Contributingfactor
Newcastle R7
Easiest grade he’s contested for a while, which makes him a decent EW punt at $17, sleeper…
BET: 4 units ew
Sonofdec
Newcastle R8
Never emerged 21 days ago at Scone but was a close third here prior, $5.50 in a small field…
BET: 4 unit win
Sachem
Morphettville R9
Ditto this one but second here previously and can make amends here at $7.
BET: 4 units ew
Rudhyar
Pinjarra Scarpside R6
Resumes as a $71 shot here, might need it…
BET: 2 units ew
Mr Mondello
Selangor R7
Pops up occasionally, nicely drawn, EW.
BET: 2 units ew
