Sunday Nine…
Show Merican
Rotorua R1
1:05pm
Noted finishing last prep in mid June with a huge run from the back at outrageous odds ($129) and earning a next-time tag. Won a trial last month here under Sam Collett, must keep safe today at $6…
BET: 5 units ew
Cream Tart
Rotorua R2
1:40pm
Resumes after an impressive win in June, following a very tidy debut second. Was down to run Friday at Taupo but missed out, and has trialled nicely twice. C Grylls sticks, looks hard to beat as $2.70 fav.
BET: 10 unit win
Jack In The Box
Rotorua R6
4:03pm
Dedicated mudder and has form here but has fallen away last two runs, will need some significant improvement to figure here as $26 outsider.
BET: 2 units ew
Gospodin
Rotorua R7
4:40pm
Another veteran mudder, but he’d been plodding a bit before running a close third at Te Rapa two weeks ago, could provide some EW value at $51…
BET: 3 units ew
Recovery Road
Coonamble R2
3:47pm
Made his debut this time last year, well-supported in the market and winning at Ballarat on the synth. Ran a little green but dug in well to win, then ran last a Flem before heading to the paddock. Warmed up with a couple of tidy trials in June, then needed the resuming run at Scone. Thought he might have figured a month back ago at Mudgee but no deal. However, he was noted running an improver’s fifth at Tamworth 12 days ago and tagged as such. B Nock is a nice booking and he can figure in this at $5.
BET: 5 units ew
The Impeckable
Coonamble R3
4:20pm
Finished fast six days ago for second and the push up to the mile looks suitable. The apprentice replace A Bullock but does provide some weight relief, win chance in this field as $2.80 fav.
BET: 8 unit win
Oakeys Choice
Queanbeyan R4
5:05pm
On the two day back-up from Canberra on Friday if he goes round, interest bet based on that at $5.50 in a small field.
BET: 5 unit win
Cindy Falls
Seymour R6
5:45pm
Drops in grade for this but best form on softer ground. Has won 1:1 at the distance, so worth a small EW punt at $26…
BET: 3 units ew
Catalina Dreaming
Cairns R5
6:25pm
Short-course specialist who resumed two weeks ago out in the sticks with a close third in a small field. Good T&D stats and looks a decent EW shot in the field at $7.50.
BET: 4 units ew
