Two fourths, two fifths…

Two fourths and two fifths from our five picks yesterday, let’s move on…

Just the three today, one of which we’re very keen on, but another is an $81 shot that we aren’t ruling out…

Three for Thursday…

Free Spirit

Cambridge Synthetic R6

Was entered for this and race 7 but wisely elects to go in the easier one. Not doing much lately, so maybe a place at $13.

Night Fighter

Moree R3

Honest, consistent and knocking on the door this prep, he was well-supported in betting 21 days ago at Grafton, finishing on well for a close fourth and a next-time tag. Up to the mile today should suit nicely, his one win was on soft, think he gets his second win today, $3.30 fav.

BET: 10 unit win

Moxatation

Ballarat R7

This is interesting… He’s been going round at big odds for some time now, but did run on well for a close fourth just 13 days ago, indicating that perhaps the rise to the mile may well suit. Up in grade, surprisingly, but we’re gonna keep him safe, even as the $81 outsider. Watch for him late, possible sleeper…
