Tuesday 5th September 2023

Quiet Monday…

Thought we had a shot at that three-pick trifecta yesterday, but nothing doing…

Four from the book today, with three in the late qadi at Benalla, worth including if you’re playing in it…

Four for Tuesday…

HAYAI MESU

Benalla Racing Club, 5

Noted with a tough win to break maidens in March before couple of runs at BM64. Comes back to the BM58 and drops to 1406m, which should be beneficial to this front-running mare. Second fav at $3.50 returning from a 5 month spell, rates a strong chance in this.

BET: 8 unit win

GHOST DOCTOR

Benalla Racing Club, 6

We fancied him to go well at odds at Bendigo 5 days ago after his previous strong win there 3 weeks previously, but he faded on the run-in. Quick backup and winning jockey sticks. Usually goes better from the back, could work in his favour over the longer mile today at $12.

BET: 5 units ew

REAL GUN

Benalla Racing Club, 7

He was going OK last year but has tailed right off this prep. Good stats over this distance and this is the easiest grade he’s raced at for some time. Small interest bet at $51…

BET: 2 units ew

SUCH A WHIT

Mackay, 6

Throws in the occasional placing for us, usually at odds, and rarely far away, so hard to discard. Has won at this grade, watch for him dropping in late at the $10 mark…

BET: 5 units ew
