Easy winner, promising fourth…

All Hunky Dory (10 unit win) breezed home as expected at short odds (we got $1.66) a former HK horse who’ll be winning plenty more before the year’s out…

We got $2.70 for Deep Stream to finish top six, and he obliged with a nice run for fourth, will improve off the back of that…

Four for the midweeks, let’s have a look…

Midweek’s fantastic four…

The Years

Warwick Farm R4

Resumes after a 277 day break but ticks a lot of boxes… This is a huge drops in grade for him, he’s actually placed in G3 company. Frontrunner, back to 1200m, trialled three times including a second at Hawkesbury last month, and if he’s anywhere near fit will take some catching, $5 on offer…

BET: 5 units ew, if the money comes 10 unit win

Sweysive

Warwick Farm R7

I’m surprised he’s not attracted more attention in this open betting race. Resumed 19 days ago with a close second from off the pace, but he’s usually on-pace. Up to 1400m suggests he’ll be in at the finish, having won three and placed in half of his 22 career runs. Gets fav jockey Josh Parr onboard, has decent stats in the grade and on soft going. $4.40 second fav, we rate him…

BET: 5 units ew, if the money comes 10 unit win

Effortkat

Oakbank R5

She’s placed in three of four runs this grade this prep. Likes the distance and the going, and again, fav jockey onboard, so rates a decent EW chance at a juicy $18.

BET: 3 units ew

Cornelian Bay

Devonport Synthetic R4

Poor in his last two, $9 outsider in a tight betting field, needs to lift.

BET: 2 units ew
