Three out of four placings, all next-timers!

Three out of four placings yesterday and they were all eye-catchers…

We knew the 800m scamper would likely be too sharp for Rose Noir, but she flew home for second, next-timer for sure.

Stanislaus was second-up, tried to lead them all the way but also ran a very encouraging second at $2.30, next time…

And Badda Boom Baby flew home from last for a juicy $8.50 third, again, next time…

Three for Thursday, two very favoured runners and a $23 roughie, let’s have a look!

Thursday trixie…

Wheels

Oakbank R6

Last win for this former Kiwi mare was this week a year ago, since then the wheels have very much fallen off, a shame, as her previous form was solid. Down to the easiest grade she’s contested for some time and out to 2150m may assist, but still needs to lift, $26 on offer…

BET: 3 units ew

Catalina Dreaming

Townsville R8

Nothing if not consistent, but she needs to fins something late after five thirds in a row. Out to 1200m and gets J Stanley up top, today could be the day for her second win, $3.90 second fav.

BET: 10 unit win

Matawai

Pakenham R7

Another ex-Kiwi who’s resuming after a 137 day break. Lightly-raced, has won first-up and won a trial two weeks ago. Rarely far away and gets B Shinn up top again (3:1-1), can win this as $2.50 fav.

BET: 10 unit win
