Three for the Hall of Fame!!
Three winners from our 22 blackbookers yesterday, but three crackers that go straight into our Hall of Fame!
Cindy Falls (5 units ew, $9.70/$3.40) back on the ground she loves got up in the last at Trentham, Cause For Concern (4 units ew, $12.70/$3.70) also winning the last at Flem, and Winchester Rifle (5 units ew, $10.00/$2.50) getting home out in the boondocks at Wycheproof.
Places for Shock ‘Em Ova (5 units ew, $2.20) and Double Take (5 units ew, $2.30) plus a couple of fourths in Ersa and Sebonack.
Highlight of the day was the thrilling win by Riff Rocket in the Derby, a brilliant ride from JMac…
Just four from the book as we take a breath before the big day on Tuesday, my birthday… Oh, and the Melbourne Cup…
Sunday’s fab four…
BOLD TYPE, BRILLIANT MIND
Innisfail, 7
I think these two both have something to offer here. Similar career records, and I’ve got BT just ahead as per the betting, he’s $3.20 co-fav at the mo, with BM a $7.50 shot.
BET: BT 10 unit win, BM 4 units ew, exotics
LOOKS LIKE ELVIS
Goulburn, 7
Been a bit plain this time in, despite a trial win at Rosehill last month. $19 in this, not sure he’ll be leaving the building with much prizemoney today. Thank you very much…
BET: 2 units ew
TACTFULL
Mornington, 6
Resumes over the 1200m for the first time, generally on-pace, so maybe they’re thinking he can pinch this. Up in grade, one of his two wins was here, and does get the talented Ms Hefel onboard. $34 on offer in a small field…
BET: 4 unit win
