Just a second…

The abandonment of Port Macquarie left us with Mountain Chatter, running another placing, not able to deal with the well-supported winner…

On to the midweeks, seven from the book, let’s have a look…

Midweek Magnificent Seven…

Ess Vee Are

Matamata R4

Certainly an improved effort 11 days ago this T&D and drops back in grade from his last few runs. Chance at $4 in a small field…

BET: 5 unit win

Tactfull

Sandown R5

Slowly creeping closer but will need to improve again to figure as the $71 outsider…

BET: 2 units ew

Chico Sonado

Sandown R6

Resumes from a 273 day spell, his one win coming on debut. Frontrunner who’s been going over longer to the drop back to 1300m could suit, could give them something to catch as $81 outsider and winning jock J Mott sticks after a couple of trials…

BET: 3 units ew

Splash Landing

Strathalbyn R6

Another resuming, 133 days away and just might need this, EW at $11 though…

BET: 3 units ew

Ramones, Edge Of Midnight

Wyong R8

Ramones is an on-pacer and hasn’t been far away in his past three runs. Penza has had some success onboard (4:1-1), drops in grade and looks primed to win this as $2.90 fav.

Edge Of Midnight has also been thereabouts in his last three, he steams home late and can’t discount him as he steps up to this distance, $6.50 on offer.

BET: Ramones 8 unit win, Edge Of Midnight 3 units ew, exotics

Winning Aces

Ascot R3

Second-up after a spell and did little on resumption but has form. This is pretty low grade (BM44) so it’s not a strong race per se, but still needs to lift, watch late, $19 on offer…
