Sunday 31st August 2025
Eleven pay a dividend…
Two winners, five seconds, three thirds and a fourth from our blackbookers yesterday, highlights being Jack In The Box popping up with a huge win in the last at Wanganui and the equalling dominating win from Anthracite, one to watch for the future…
Eight for the last day of winter, let’s have a look…
Sunday Eight…
Lord Spencer
Te Aroha R2
12.33pm
His form has dropped off since his nice win this T&D in June, so need to pick up somewhat to feature again today, $12 shot.
BET: 3 units ew
Honey Badger
Te Aroha R6
3:00pm
In fine form and another who has won her only race here, can bounce back from her defeat at Te Rapa two months ago, Nabber sticks, hard to beat as $2.70 fav.
BET: 10 unit win
Fiorente Spritz
Naracoorte R4
5:03pm
Couple of recent fourths make her a chance in this at $5, doesn’t want it too wet underfoot though…

Spirit Of Pluto
Moree R5
5:25pm
Resumed from an eight month break 16 days ago needing the run, has placed four from five second-up and is better than the form reads. Can’t afford to not jump well over the 950m dash but worth keeping safe at $21.

The Impeckable, Kalahari Heart
Moree R8
7:10pm
TI is going well and wasn’t far off the winner when running sixth in a Highway two weeks ago. Back in grade now and looks very hard to beat against this lot, $2.80 fav. KH back from a seven week break after a much-improved run for third at Scone. B Looker a significant booking up top and could get some of this at $17…
BET: TI 10 unit win, KH 3 units ew, exotics
South Georgia
Hobart R6
5:55pm
Impressive win two months back with a big finish after a close second when resuming, then ran fifth up to the mile a month later. Stepped up to the 2100m here a week ago and never featured, but back to the mile here and rate her an EW chance at $21.
