We bounce back to form with 5 winners!!
Bang back into form yesterday, with five winners from ours selections, plus three seconds and three thirds, an 18.5% win strike rate and 41% of our picks providing a return.
Star of the show was the booming win from Laneway Flirting (5 units ew), she raced away from them at the turn and was never in any danger to get up at a very juicy $5.90/$2.00, and leading a $222 trifecta for us.
Best return of the day was Wild Rocket (2 unit in) with a surprise win in a small field at $16.50. Fighting Arrow (5 units ew) obliged at $4.30/$1.80, Genjiro (5 unit win) won at $4.10 , and Mariamia (3 units ew) made it two in a row and 3 from 3 at Rosehill at $4.40/$1.45.
Places included Second Thought ($1.40), Luna Cat ($1.35), Destination ($2.60), Contributing Factor ($2.20), Effortkat ($4.30), and Wheels ($2.80).
Just the five today, but some big odds on offer…
Five from the book…
ROYAL FOX
Geelong, 5
Resumed this prep with a win for us at BM58, but the jump to BM64 hasn’t produced anything like that… Mertens jumps on, but not sure it will be enough, $17 shot…
BET: 2 units ew
KEW PLAYER
Geelong, 8
Resuming after a 4 month spell, has placed first up and has had success at this distance, though he tends to have a back-marker pattern, so will need to be a bit closer in the run for this. Chance though, at $7…
BET: 3 units ew
MISS INTENTION
Pinjarra, 9
She won for us twice this prep before running a couple of close sixths while up in grade. Drops back today, another backmarker who will be dropping in late. Good T&D stats for this, $9 on offer…
BET: 4 units ew
PLATFORM
Strathalbyn, 7
On the 8 day back-up, and wasn’t far off at Gawler last week, finishing well for second, so the extra 350m could help. Tourneur sticks and rates a chance at $7.
BET: 3 units ew
GORUSH LIGHTNING
Sapphire Coast, 6
He spaces them out a bit but does have T&D form here. Last of seven last time out, but jockey sticks, and that was her first defeat on the horse in three. Back after a couple of months in the paddock, but at $101, you gotta ask yourself this: Do I feel lucky? ‘Course you do, it’s one of ours!!
BET: 2 units ew
