Two to watch next time…

Just the three yesterday, the best being Shutter who ran into fourth and Rockabilly Rebel a fast-finishing fifth, both on a next-time watch…

Seven for the midweeks, one outstanding chance plus some roughies…

Seven for the Midweeks…

Our Man Stan

Riccarton R6

His win at Riccy in November was astonishing with a huge run from last to get up. Very consistent only missed the frame twice in eight runs and while he needed the resuming run a month ago, he’s ready to win today with the Nabber onboard, who’s 1:1. $3.50 fav, drawn well, will be dropping in late, we’re all over him.

BET: 10 unit win

Kattegat

Warwick Farm R5

Consistent in his past five runs, and not far away, though he weakened late at Canberra 12 days ago. JPH is 5:0-3 onboard, so rates an EW shot at $9.

BET: 3 units ew

Boldinho

Warwick Farm R7

Drops back to the midweeks, has been close without threatening in Saturday metro racing, he’s the $15 outsider in this open betting race.

BET: 3 units ew

Wheels

Oakbank R4

Backs up in 4 days from Saturday where she ran a better race at Morks. Back in grade somewhat and can improve on that, $8 on offer.

BET: 3 units ew

Little Rich Boy

Oakbank R6

Veteran of 83 races resuming from a 222 day spell, ran last in four of his five runs last prep plus a couple of sevenths trialling up for this. Hard to tip with any confidence but he does jump well and the drop back to the 1100m may help, but don’t sell the farm, $26 on offer…

BET: 2 units ew

Hayai Mesu

Oakbank R7

Form has tailed off since December, she looks ready for a break. Backmarker who’s placed six from nine at this distance, $13 shot in this, watch late.

BET: 2 units ew

Blazing Tycoon

Belmont R7

Inconsistent, capable of decent finishes but sometimes finds trouble finding the gap. No decent stats for this T&D, hard to enthuse as the $26 outsider…
