Three winners, 35% return dividends…

Three winners from yesterday, plus two seconds, two thirds and four fourths, a 35% dividend return…

Tommy Shelby was produced with a beautifully-timed run to get up for us at $3.40, Major Share put up a gritty performance to hold on at $3.30, while All Play provided a nice win at $2.80 in the get-out at Ascot.

Eight from the book today, and some winners in there we feel!!

Sunday 8

Dealt With, First Dance

Pukekohe R6

Two in this, and they look like the quinella, if not the Exacta…

DW impressed on debut 15 days ago, trainer said he was a bit skittish, but he won well he looks like he’s going places, $3.20 to win this and the step up to 1400m looks fine…

FD was noted breaking maidens in only her third run at Ellerslie in October, and she’s since run a close fourth and a fifth there, Wozza sticks, looks the logical runner-up.

BET: DW 10 unit win, 10 unit Exacta these two…

Donation

Benalla R5

Been going well at the picnics, then won at Kerang 22 days ago. Steps up in grade again, this doesn’t look massively strong, so rate him a chance in this open betting race as $7.50 third fav now he knows where the winning post is…

BET: 5 units ew

Ditterich

Cowra R5

Cleared maidens last month and though up in grade and a drifter in the market, he ran well enough for third at Orange 20 days ago. Goes round again in the BM58, drops back to 950m, that’ll make him very hard to catch as he’ll jump out and lead. Tight market, $4.40 co-fav of three, but we’re sticking with him…

BET: 5 units ew

Pahang

Cowra R8

Tends to get back early but can find a finish. Likes the distance, gets his fav jockey and rates an EW shot even at $23.

BET: 3 units ew

Seiryu

Gatton R9

After the win at Lismore in July, where she flew home form the back, we thought she’d turned the corner after two disappointing runs, but she ran fifth, albeit not too far away. Resumed 23 days ago with an even run, will take benefit from that but would like to see her a bit further forward in the run as she does get back. $10 on offer…

BET: 3 units ew

Rudhyar, Miss Intention

Mt Barker R8

Rudhyar is now plying his trade out west, and the big drop in grade worked on Boxing Day as he got up on the line for us. Up to the BM64 shouldn’t pose any problems, he’s won in higher grades than that. $4.20 second fav in another open race, must go in…

Miss Intention produced a better run 14 days ago, finishing fast, watch for her late at $10…

BET: Rudhyar 5 units ew, MI 3 units ew, exotics
