Abandoned… again…
Rinse and repeat as Kilmore gets abandoned, denying us a run for very much fancied tip, but again, he’s on watch for next time…
Onto the midweeks, nine from the book, four of which we’re very keen on!
Nine from the midweeks…
Jack In The Box
Pukekohe R10
He certainly prefers the heavy going and gets that today, but does need to lift as he’s been a way off in recent races. Has won in higher grades than this, $12 in an open event, EW best.
BET: 3 units ew
Fighting Arrow
Caulfield R3
He has found some nice form, winning his last two in some style, and moves up to the BM84 with a real shot at taking this out. Williams sticks, he’ll be motoring home late in this, $8 is juicy…
BET: 5 units ew
Sebonack
Caulfield R7
Back in grade for this, but stats are not encouraging, maybe a place at $41.
BET: 2 units ew
Berkeley Square, Mankayan
Caulfield R8
BS noted with a stunning win from last just 18 days ago to make it two in a row. This is G3, but he’s 14:5-2, Jaylah sticks, he ticks a lot of boxes in this as $4 second fav. Mankayan ran seventh in that race, not a bad resuming effort, expect he’ll progress from that and rates an EW shot at $13 with Shinn up top…
BET: BS 10 unit win, M 2 units ew, exotics
Newfoundland, Wanjiru
Warwick Farm R4
Newfoundland is an Irish import who caught the eye on his third run in Aus two weeks ago with Tim Clark producing a top ride for him to win with some style, more to come from this galloper, and he’s $2.80 fav in this. Wanjiru was more on the pace 16 days ago but was outgunned late. Steps up in grade but this is his distance (4:3-1), could settle back and be produced late, $31 on offer.
BET: N 10 unit win, W 2 units ew, exotics
Ivy Dexstress
Doomben R4
Far too good when winning here in her second career race, E Lang sticks, no reason to think she doesn’t win again, $1.30.
BET: 10 unit win
Splash Landing
Balaklava R3
Went in the book late last month, with the comment “Absolutely rattled home, next time over longer” but didn’t live up to that hype at Gawler 9 days ago. Up to the mile should assist, looks like a race in three, $3.60 second fav.
BET: 6 unit win
