Last chance for January!
Well, there’s a month of the year gone already, and while we started it with a bang, the last couple of days have not been so good, with our one-hit Mandalorian unable to get us home yesterday, so let’s see if we can finish on a high…
Just two from the book, with a juicy $14 prospect, let’s have a look!
Two for the midweeks…
TROBRIAND
Te Rapa, 9
Don’t underestimate this fella at the $14 mark, he’s second up and 2 for 2 in that state, plus he’s 2:2 here at Te Rapa. He’s also a Group 2 winner. He’s tended to sit back in recent runs and descending late, hinting that the jump to 2000m will be beneficial. Chuck him in everything I say…
BET: 5 units ew, exotics galore!
DONATION
Mount Gambier, 6
We’ve fancied him to push on last two races after a good resuming third but he hasn’t, maybe needs a softer track… Drops in grade a touch for this, has placed twice at this distance, drawn well, and the apprentice takes off 3 kgs, so we’ll give him another chance as $4.60 second fav.
BET: 5 units ew
