Two out three ain’t bad!!
Well, how did you like our 3rd Birthday Freebie Day yesterday?
Two scratchings from the five tips, but that still left room for two winners, one of them a Hall of Fame entry!!
State of America (10 unit win) bolted home from the turn to win by a margin as he did in a Midway three weeks ago, paying a very nice $3.30.
But it was Barber (5 units ew) who really rounded the day out, improving on two nice runs this prep, back in grade, up in distance, and got the job done at a very juicy $10/$2.80!
Four from the book, including one of those scratchings from yesterday, which certainly piques our interest in her…
Thursday’s Fantastic Four…
Changing Colours
Ballarat R6
Spruiked on debut at Kyneton in May and bolted home to win from dead last. Resumed from 150 days away 18 days ago at Bendigo and employed the same tactics in the V+BM64 and only just came up short. Moreira jumps on for Lane but that’s no problem, and it’s hard to see her beaten in this as the $1.80 fav. Wins…
BET: 10 unit win
Cool Encounter
Ipswich R6
Bit inconsistent but handy on his day, when it comes around… Rarely far away and has good stats for this T & D, good record on soft going, looking for him to be a bit closer in the run, EW chance at $13…
BET: 5 units ew
Sunchyme
Hawkesbury R7
Interestingly, she was scratched yesterday in preference to this. Resumes from a 110 day break, tidy first-up stats (4:1-2) and won a trial last week. She’s 5:3-2 at the distance and 6:3-1 on good, will benefit from this run but don’t discard today at $23, keep safe…
BET: 4 units ew
Blazing Tycoon
Geraldton R6
Veteran gelding, better run for fourth 11 days ago here, does get back and finish on so worth an EW punt today at $26.
BET: 3 units ew
