No red letter day…
Just the one yesterday, and as is her race pattern, veteran mare Red Moscow got way too far back, and was a distant last half way round, but as usual powered home for sixth. If she can settle closer, she’s a danger…
Five from the book today, all with very valid each way chances…
Five for Tuesday…
Kool Bird
Moruya R4
Came from last on resuming a month ago here to run second at big odds, suggesting the extra 200m would suit, also here, 18 days ago, and she duly obliged at a juicy $11 for us to break maidens. Obviously moves up a grade, but still at her fav track, winning jock sticks, and now she’s got the idea, she can push on with it, $10 looks generous!

Devine Miss, Gorush Lightning
Moruya R6
DM resumed from a 293 day spell in July with a nice finish into third at Canberra and dropped back to the BM64 16 days ago when we fancied her chances. Ran on into fifth and then a sixth at Canberra 25 days ago. Possesses a decent finish but needs to jump better, she’s 9:2-6 at this distance, so keep safe, EW at $10.
Gorush Lightning has dropped away the last few, but drops in grade here and gets fav jockey back up top (11:4-2). Needs to jump better, bit not out of it even at $31…
BET: Both 3 units ew, would spice up the exotics!
Brazen Breccia
Mackay R5
He’s a far better horse on firmer ground, perennial leader, and nearly pinched it here 26 days ago, running a close second while looking the winner for a long way. Only concern is the jump to 1560m, but he is 10:2-5, so worth following at $4.20

I Never Dreamed
Wodonga R8
She was spruiked and backed on debut and bolted home last October at very short odds. Followed up at Pak with a close fifth, before heading to the paddock, and resumed at MV in March in a BM70, running a close fourth behind another of ours, the impressive Girl. then ran another close up fourth and a fifth before heading to the paddock. Obviously has talent, worth keeping safe in this field, and they have her as $4.40 second fav.
