HENRY HUBBER
Gore, 4
Returns from a five month spell after he won four on the bounce, loves the track and the heavy, will be on the scene again late in the piece, think he wins as $3.20 fav.
BET: 10 unit win
MORMAIRE
Gore, 8
Form has tailed off a bit but she drops in grade for this, EW at $14.
BET: 3 units ew
FOREIGN RAIDER, CYCLONE SALLY
Flemington, 1
FR bolted home from the back at Pak a month ago and followed up 11 days ago beaten by a runway winner but well ahead of the rest. The extra 200m will be useful, $5 in an open betting race has her in contention.
CS is in good form for us, front runner who was super-gritty when hanging on at Moe for us last time out. In her case the extra 200m might be tough, but she’ll lead them a merry dance for much of this at $12.
BET: FR 5 units ew, CS 3 units ew, exotics
INSULATION
Flemington, 2
Huge from the back winning at Sale in early August and backed it up with another win at Morphettville a month ago. Back in grade and easy to back EW as the $4.20 fav.
BET: 5 units ew
JOLTIN’ JOE
Flemington, 4
Bolted home under Olly 2 weeks ago for second at Sale, that’s his style so the extra 100m should assist. Olly sticks, $19 on offer, sleeper…
BET: 3 units ew
VULTAN
Flemington, 7
Obviously needed the run at Sandown 25 days ago, but will need to find a bit of his old form to figure here at $26.
BET: 2 units ew
SIR SIMON
Devonport, 7
Has form on this track, as most of the Tassy horses do, on-pacer who drops back in distance today which will help. Pires jumps back on, has a good record onboard, can back him EW with some confidence at $5.
BET: 5 units ew
CORNELIAN BAY
Devonport, 8
Won two in a row for us in May before a spell in the paddock. Has been close in two of three on resuming, can take this out as $3 fav.
BET: 10 unit win
MAGNETIC PRINCE
Mount Gambier, 5
He’s been close up in recent races, mostly in higher grades than this, but he’s very consistent and take this out if they get him up on the speed. $2.40 fav.
BET: 8 unit win
ALLEGIANCE
Kalgoorlie, 3
One win in 27 says it all… Rarely far away without winning, EW best for her at $14.
BET: 2 units ew
FIENDISH
Kalgoorlie, 5
Similar tale here, just the two wins and he’d need to be further forward in the run to be a chance late in this at $51.
BET: 2 units ew
MINGORA
Kalgoorlie, 8
Got up for us here two weeks ago and presents as $3.70 fav here. Now she’s got the idea she can go on with it as $3.70 fav, and Pikey is a positive booking up top…
BET: 8 unit win
SUPER PURSUIT
Bathurst, 7
Generally around the mark and drops in grade from Randwick company for this. The jump to 1800m will help, watch for him late as $4.40 fav.
BET: 5 units ew
MISS JENNIFER
Bathurst, 8
Here early career good form hasn’t carried through and she needed the resuming run 2 weeks ago at Dubbo. Another one who needs to be closer in the run, $51 shot here…
BET: 2 units ew
MISS MIDUKI
Alice Springs, 1
Two seconds in here last three runs here can be converted into a win today, $2.50 fav.
BET: 8 unit win
FANTASY EAGLE
Alice Springs, 5
Good T&Ds under this jockey but will need to bring his A0game to beat this hotpot fav, $10 in a small field.
BET: 3 unit win
