Thirteen on a busier Sunday, including Cromwell Cup day, where we have five tips in four races…
13 for Sunday…
AMBERECHO
Cromwell, 5
Backing up from Friday, as a few of these are, the better draw looks to be a factor for her today, plus the slightly longer trip, EW shot at $9.
BET: 4 units ew
EYE SPY, LA OPCION
Cromwell, 6
ES impressed hugely with the maiden win back in June, but failed to follow that up in two subsequent runs. Resumed 11 days ago probably needing that run, win came second up, EW chance at $18. LO, only two wins in 31, last three all way down the track. Gets back and not sure the drop to 1400m will suit, $26 on offer.
BET: ES 4 units ew, LO 2 units ew, could spice up the exotics…
CAPO DELL IMPERO
Cromwell, 8
Been racing well without winning, drops in grade for this and hence up in weight. This is his distance, real threat today at $6.
BET: 5 units ew
MORMAIRE
Cromwell, 9
Form this prep much improved, she ran a close second for us at $32 15 days ago and can go close again, another $9 shot…
BET: 4 units ew
SACHEM
Warrnambool, 4
Yendall (5:1-3) sticks after a good finish 18 days ago, steps up to 2000m which should suit, $7 on offer in a very open betting event.
BET: 4 units ew
IT’S MY TURN
Warrnambool, 7
Racked up three wins earlier in the prep before a second at Ballarat then up in grade at the Valley in a tough race. Better placed here, jockey is 3:3, she’ll be up on the pace, $12 looks value.
BET: 4 units ew
WAILUA
Warrnambool, 9
Former Maher/Eustace runner resuming after almost 8 months away. Won two of his first three runs but little since. $26 here, small EW chance.
BET: 2 units ew
TANTRUMS
Sunshine Coast, 5
Fast-finishing ex-Kiwi $101 shot for us last week who made it into second, reversing previous form, maybe she’s got the idea now, only $5 on offer today, so EW again in this.
BET: 4 units ew
WHEELS
Clare Valley, 6
Wheels down in grade and knocking on the door this prep. Fav jockey up top, watch for him late, $3.80 fav.
BET: 8 unit win
LITTLE RICH BOY
Clare Valley, 7
Drops in grade a touch, two runs back have been OK, likes this distance and the extra 200m should suit, $8 on offer.
BET: 3 units ew
SAVVY LAD
Armidale, 7
Won two from five this prep and not far away in the others. McGuren sticks and well back in grade, well capable of taking this out. $5 fav in another open betting race.
BET: 5 units ew
DESERT NYMPH
Pinjarra, 9
Only missed the first two in one of five runs this prep, Pikey jumps on, second fav at $3.70, looks like a race in two.
BET: 8 unit win
