Two placings…
Ghost Doctor (3 units ew) produced a much better run as we suggested yesterday, running on well to snatch third at $2.60. Telegraph (5 units ew) came up with a similar effort after being well-supported ($1.20). Kalahari Heart put in a good effort at around the $15 mark, just missing the placings in fourth.
Ten from the book, let’s have a look…
Top Ten for Hump Day…
CAUSE FOR CONCERN
Sale Turf Club, 6
Lightly-raced and noted with a big burst from the back to win on debut iin November. Subsequent runs have had merit, and if he’s closer to the pace today, I think he wins at $6/$1.90
BET: 5 units ew, 10 unit win if the money comes
THE AWESOME SON
Sale Turf Club, 7
While since he won, does like it soft underfoot and is capable of a big late finish, so the extra distance should suit him as a $12 shot.
BET: 4 units ew
AUF WEIDERSEHEN
Sale Turf Club, 8
First run back after just over a year off. Down in grade but has won first up previously, though just might need this run as a $101 shot…
BET: 2 units ew
MYCHYNA
Doomben, 6
Spruiked after trialling well in late March and duly bolted in. Next two runs had merit, both close up placings and she’ll settle just off the pace here and give the odds-on fav a scare at $15…
BET: 5 units ew
ALLUSIONIST
Doomben, 7
Fully expected him to run at least a place last time out but faded in the run-in. Back in grade today, so will give him another chance at $10.
BET: 3 units ew
CAPITAL GIRL
Doomben, 9
Bolted in to break her maiden in December, not too far away since and her return was an eyecatcher for third at Kilcoy before her sixth here two weeks ago. Worth another shot on the softer ground at $31.
BET: 2 units ew
MISS MIDUKI
Gawler, 7
Eyecatcher in December, flying home for second after being trapped, so we know she’s got late speed, so look for her late. A local mare, she has placed 2 from 4 first up, $8 on offer…
BET: 4 units ew
RAMONES
Canterbury, 6
Jumped well in December to lead all the way before running last at Rosehill. Been for the break and resumes today after a trial win and a second recently, which suggests he’ll figure in this as $4.20 second fav.
BET: 6 unit win
WINNING ACES
Belmont, 2
Good T&D and second-up stats for this, definite EW shot at $7.
BET: 4 units ew
PREPARE FOR CHANGE
Belmont, 7
Other one capable of the big finish, but would prefer him closer in the run. $23 on offer…
BET: 2 units ew
