Next timer…
A super effort from Wailua (5 units ew) yesterday, last all the way but sprinted home along the rails, and looked the winner at one point, but ran a close third at $2.30. Next-timer for sure…
Seven today for the midweekers, with a couple of hot favs and some big odds roughies…
Midweek Seven…
Brancaster Bomber
Riccarton R1
Two thirds to open this prep had us expecting him to be in the finish 10 days ago at Ashburton but he ran near-last. Drawn the ace gate today and is usually prominent, so the drop back to 1000m works in his favour, can give ‘em something to run down, $11 on offer.
BET: 4 units ew
Cool Aza Rene
Riccarton R2
Dominant win over the 800m dash on debut 25 days ago, a repeat of that makes him hard to beat here as $1.55 fav.
BET: 10 unit win
More Sass
Riccarton R7
Another we’d been waiting for after running second to Great Time in March, albeit beaten 5 lengths but had the rest well covered. Resumed 26 days ago with a sharp finish for second, the push out to 1400m will help, worth EW at $8.50.
BET: 4 units ew
Drift Net
Rosehill R6
Really fancied her on resumption, especially as she’d been trialling impressively, but she could only manage a third, paying $1.00. Marked her down for next time and here she is, $3 fav.
BET: 10 unit win
Hayai Mesu
Murray Bridge R7
Bit disappointing in two runs this prep, fitter now and the push to the mile should assist, $9.50 on offer…
BET: 3 units ew
Winchester Rifle
Launceston R5
Shows up occasionally, Pires sticks, so a chance as $26 outsider.
BET: 2 units ew
More Likely
Belmont R7
Rarely far away and gets Chris Parnham onboard, EW shot at $11.
BET: 4 units ew
