Two winners and a third…

That’s more like it!

Despite yet another NZ meeting abandoned mid-card, we found two winners and a third from our four remaining blackbookers…

Once again, Sweysive (10 unit win) found the front early, and they just couldn’t reel him in, the $3.30 odds very sweet indeed!

Sunlit Fresco (8 unit win) also stepped out in front, but boy, did she need the post close to home, just hanging on in a gritty finish, paying $2.10 the win.

Araletta (5 units ew) continued her consistent form, running a close third paying $1.95.

Just the two today, one a rock-solid fav, the other a roughie with a chance…

Two-fer Thursday…

Graysong

Rockhampton R8

Noted with two searing wins in August last year before heading to the paddock for four months. In fine form this prep with two placings and two wins in his last two races, the latest one 23 days ago here with a superb finish from the back, as he tends to do. Hops up to the 1400m today, up in grade but down 6.5 kgs, jockey is 2:1-1, 4:2-2 at the track, ticks all the boxes for me as $2.25 fav…

BET: 10 unit win

Kalahari Heart

Tamworth R7

Better 11 days ago after two poor efforts to start the prep. Back up to the 1400m should help and jockey is 4:1-1 up top, EW chance at $17…

BET: 3 units ew
