One from three…
Our hotpot best bet Dillinger (10 unit win) duly ground out a tough win as expected at $1.80.
Markwell Dreamer was backed into short odds fav but couldn’t hold out the ex-HK runner, finishing second.
Eight from the book today, including several chances at the midweek Te Rapa meeting…
Roughie day, eight from the book…
JACK IN THE BOX
Te Rapa, 1
Consistent gelding who’s been on our radar for six months now, and surely closing in on a win. $6.50 on offer.
BET: 4 units ew
KARMAN LINE
Te Rapa, 2
Won on debut and has been pretty consistent in five runs since, bar one. Easier opposition here, and will run fav as $3.20 fav here, chance to add to that win.
BET: 10 unit win
TIDAL RUSH
Te Rapa, 4
She’s been pretty solid without winning in her last two at odds, chance again here at $21.
BET: 3 units ew
FIVE SCHILLINGS
Te Rapa, 8
Only won one of her 24 runs, but ran a nice second for us a month ago at SP $16. Surprised to see her as the $23 outsider in this, gets winning jock Weatherley up top, and rates a chance in this.
BET: 3 units ew
DUKE OF HASTINGS
Sandown, 4
Resumes today after showing good form lest prep. Drops to 1400m today, and also in grade, could be a tune-up run for him but is a chance at $8 if he’s ready in this small field.
BET: 5 unit win
INDIFFERENCE
Sandown, 8
Finished strongly from the back in June to win, and while having a few chances has only managed a couple of third placings for us. Blinkers applied today, and could reward us late in the piece as a $9 shot…
BET: 3 units ew
PATENTED
Ipswich, 2
Won a country event two back as fav, then was well-beaten next up at Inverell. Rank outsider in this small field at $23
BET: 4 unit win
ZIAVERA
Launceston, 8
Won a couple for us midyear, but has been pretty ordinary since. Yet another rank outsider with $26 on offer, and needs to lift…
BET: 2 units ew
