Six of the best from the book today, featuring some more roughies.
MUDGEE
Race 7: FOX SPIRIT might not relish the heavy ground, has won on soft though. Bit hard to catch but has place two out of last three, and while up in grade, could spice up the exotics at $19…
BET: 2 units ew
SUNSHINE COAST
Race 7: LEAVE ME ALONG went in the book back in August with a huge run from the back to win by 2.3 lengths here to clear maidens. Next runs weren’t too bad before heading to the paddock for 6 months. Won a trial under a hold, which suggests he’s forward enough to be a factor in this, and backable ew at $6.50.
BET: 4 units ew
Race 8: CORAJILLO run a class record last June, then threw in a $15 win for us in August, but the intervening runs have not been anywhere near as good. $71 on offer (bet365)
BET: 2 units ew
NOWRA
Race 6: MANDALORIAN had run two thirds for us at nice odds ($17 and $11), before not showing up in his last race at Canterbury. Only won the once, but has a decent place strike rate at this distance, could get up in this small and evenly-priced field at $4.60.
BET: 5 unit win
NARACOORTE
Race 5: NATIVE BLUE is another one who spaces out his wins (3 from 17 to date) and throws in the occasional placing. Went in the book last July, and has since provided a couple of wins at the $8 mark. Has been running at distances between 1600m and 2500m, but drops back to 1430m today, which could be significant for this on-pacer. Returning from a spell today, and if he can get up from early, could give them something to catch. $15 on offer…
BET: 3 units ew
HOBART
Race 7: SIR SIMON was a well-fancied fav last time out here on his return, but faded in the run after leading. Has second-up credentials on a track and distance he loves, so can atone here today at $4, but will need to get past the well rated fav in Hela.
BET: 5 unit win, 10 unit quinella these two
