Next time for our trotter…

A fourth from our trotter yesterday, back on point today with four from Aussie, worth a multi, all four to finish top 4 on NZTAB, that’s odds of $50.27, cheeky $25 on that…

Midweek top four multi…

Duke Of Hastings

Bendigo R7

Resumes after 172 days, not a noted first-up performer, tends to get back so the drop to 1500m doesn’t look appealing though he is back in grade. Will be better for the run, $51 on offer, keep safe back from metro…

Bendigo R8

Former HK sprinter we spotted at Flem on NV Day getting up right on the line in a blanket finish, that was enough to suggest the extra 200m would suit but he couldn’t match that run but he was not far away. Back after 105 days, has trialled three times for this and with Johnny Allen back up top and a first-up record of 3:2-0 he’s worth keeping safe up to the 1300m. $8.50 on offer…

BET: 5 units ew

Stanislaus

Ipswich R8

Well-related gelding whose early career form was solid before a couple of mis-fires early last year. Not that far away in four runs this prep, Jake Bayliss jumps on, chance in this at $23.

BET: 4 units ew

Girl

Ipswich R9

Big improvement at the end of Jan at the Lakeside to run third at big odds then outclassed in Tazzy in a G3. A nice second after that before a close seventh, drops in grade somewhat here and rates a real chance in this at $6.
