Only a third…
Just the two yesterday with Cosmic Rhapsody (5 units ew) too far back in the run and placed third at $1.40.
Seven today, with some real prospects here…
Tuesday’s Magnificent Seven!
TABULAM
Lismore, 3
Been a while since he won but ran a close second last month at Toowoomba but then was a little plain there three weeks back. Gets Tegan back onboard, and presents as $4 co-fav here back down in grade…
BET: 5 units ew
GEM OF THE LOCHS
Lismore, 5
Seasoned grey mare who has won at odds for us previously. Gets a better track today and she’s capable of a big finish, just want her closer in the run as a $19 shot here…
BET: 3 units ew
TAIKUN TOMMY, ULTIMATE MAN
Lismore, 6
TT showed some form improvement 19 days ago to run a close second from the back when well-supported at Grafton and Benny Looker sticks. The extra distance will suit, watch for him late as a $6.50 shot… UM also finished well three weeks back to run a close fourth, jockey sticks and is another with aspirations late on as a $10 shot.
BET: TT 5 units ew, UM 3 units ew, exotics
KERMANTIC
Lismore, 7
Reversed his usual back-marker role to lead all the way to win by 6 lengths with a leg in the air at Murwillumbah 16 days ago to make it two in a row. Up in grade and this looks like a race in two with the fav, who’s dropping from G3 company, but we’ll go with our lad at $3.20…
BET: 8 unit win, 10 unit quinella with BTC
KEW PLAYER
Pakenham, 5
Better than his recent form would suggest, and has form on the AWT. Possesses a good finish, and if he’s within cooee in the run, can finish in the frame at $12 here.
BET: 3 units ew
LEGAL CHALLENGE
Nowra, 6
Noted in July two years ago with a stunning win from last and followed up with some close runs at Goulburn before heading to the paddock for 22 months. Has trialled twice for his return without catching the eye, but who knows? $26 rank outsider…
BET: 2 units ew
