Today’s Tips: Friday 28th October 2022
Friday’s Magnificent Seven…
A quiet Thursday yielded Tidal Impact, second at $2.60, I Am Mighty just misses in fourth…
They’re racing at New Plymouth this afternoon, and there’s another night meeting at the Valley, and we have seven from the book.
Let’s see if we can get some funds for the weekend, and dare I say it, for Cup Day!
LADIES MAN
New Plymouth, 7
He needed the run on resumption as fav, but is unbeaten second up and his other stats read well for this. Stepping up to the mile shouldn’t be an issue, watch for him late. Will run fav again at around $2.40, and should have too much in the locker for these…
BET: 10 unit win
REPUTABELLE
Moonee Valley Racing Club, 5
Reputabelle was impressive winning at Wingatui in March, then won again for us making it four in a row, then third before heading to the paddock. Made her Aussie debut last month, running dead last, before a Ballarat fourth earlier this month. Previous form in NZ was good, has won on heavy but better form on top of the ground. Improving, and worth an ew look at $19 with the claimer onboard…
BET: 3 units ew
THE AWESOME SON
Moonee Valley Racing Club, 7
The Valley’s not really the place for a backmarker , but this lad won from exactly that position on his only run here. Not done much since his fast-finishing close second to Fengarada in July but does drop in grade while moving back up in distance. Stats not too bad, and gets fav jockey B Mertens on top, chance at $5.50 in this…
BET: 4 units ew
ROMANIA
Moonee Valley Racing Club, 8
Froggy’s had some success on this front-running gelding, and this is just the track for that racing pattern as we know… Won for us at Moe two back but faded over the longer distance at Sale five days ago, so is on a very quick back-up for this. The $15 makes him today’s sleeper…
BET: 3 units ew
TABULAM
Ipswich Turf Club, 6
He’s run four places in his last five runs this prep for us, at some decent odds too… Just got nicked out at Gold Coast last time, and looks a chance as joint fav in this very even betting race at $4.20. Watch for him late.
BET: 5 units ew, if the money comes, 8 unit win.
ABSOLUTE LEGEND
Coonamble, 6
Struggling to add to his lone win in seventeen, but drops a touch in grade here and also distance. Usual races on speed, which could help. $9 on offer.
BET: 3 units ew
FOX SPIRIT
Coonamble, 7
Got up for us at odds two back at Gilgandra but well-beaten next two. Jumps in grade today, and will run as rank outsider at around $71, interest bet…
BET: 2 units ew
