Race 1

6 – 2 – 4 – 7

 

Tricky race to start the day with nothing between my top four so only playing small here. 6 Sparky Lad was good in a race with good depth last start and had good improvement to come. 2 Regent has been solid in both runs this campaign and is capable of going one better today. 4 Mantra split two smart ones last start and if any luck from draw will be amongst the spoils. 7 French Tune was very good winning first up and hard to knock.

 

BET:     Backing the 6 SPARKY LAD

 

 

Race 2

4 – 2 – 3

 

What a disappointing race with only three runners and all from Chris Waller’s yard. 2 Alward and 4 Up ‘N’ Rolling look the winning chances with their stablemate Veladero a gap back in third. Up ‘N’ Rolling is suited as he probably has the best turn of speed but Alward will certainly make it a race.

 

BET:     If you have to back 4 Up ‘N’ Rolling

 

 

Race 3

3 – 1 – 6 – 5

 

3 Interlocuter was beaten on protest last start which I think was wrongly but his run was full of merit and showed he has returned in good order. He is an improving individual and looks the one to get past but there is more depth here. 1 Hogmanay was outstanding chasing last start when a month between runs so he will improve and 6 Mapmaker is flying at present and will again give the others something to worry about.

 

BET:     Quinella 1, 3 & 6   $3 = 100%

 

 

Race 4

3 – 4 – 10 – 7

 

3 Schedule is racing in great form and only needs to repeat his last few efforts and if the luck falls his way he will taking some beating. 4 Cascata Rossa was impressive winning last start at the Gold Coast and from a good gate here can utilise his turn of speed. 10 Dia De Reyes the stablemate has been racing consistently in Queensland and with a light weight must be given some thought.

 

BET:     Small play each way bet 3 SCHEDULE

 

 

Race 5

9 – 10 – 6 – 1

 

9 Sir Plush was let roll last start and he settled far better than previous runs and never looked like getting beat. The drop down to 53.5kg looks ideal and unless he gets softened up he will be hard to get past. 6 Shillelagh trialled outstanding on Tuesday and is already a winner twice first up so no reason she won’t be gunning them down late.

 

BET:     Win bet 9 SIR PLUSH

Save 6 Shillelagh

 

 

Race 6

5 – 3 – 2 – 7

 

The two favoured runners 3 Viridine and 2 Single Bullet will be hard to beat after both turning in super efforts three weeks ago when Viridine got the better of Single Bullet. I am going to have a gamble and go for the favourite’s stabelmate 5 Beau Geste who looked big first up when third at Randwick before winning at Rosehill and in doing so beat a smart one in Paret.

 

BET:     Backing 5 BEAU GESTE

 

 

Race 7

1 – 4 – 3 – 8

 

1 Ace High was dominant two weeks ago in the Gloaming stakes and I see no reason he won’t get the job done again as he looks like he will relish the extra distance. The lack of speed plays into his hands as he can race on-pace or take a sit. 3 Tangled showed a return to better form last week and 4 Sanctioned is sure to run well again after finishing second in the Gloaming.

 

 

BET:     Backing 1 ACE HIGH

 

 

Race 8

2 – 1 – 10 – 4

 

Ron Quinton ran the quinella a fortnight ago with 1 Daysee Doom and 2 Dixie Blossoms and they look the obvious ones again. I am hoping further fitness and a perfect barrier will enable 2 Dixie Blossoms to turn the tables and the extra furlong. 10 My True Love will strip fitter and can play a role while 7 Denmagic from gate one can sneak into the placings at juicy odds. 4 Dawn wall was disappointing second up after a cracking first up run so look for her to bounce back.

 

BET:     Backing 2 DIXIE BLOSSOMS

 

 

Race 9

4 – 10 – 2 – 11

 

Not an easy assignment to finish by I’m sure 4 Firsthand will run well fresh coming off the back of two very good barrier trials. He’s won four from eight starts and both at this journey of 1200m. 10 Piracy is looking for four wins in succession and although this is his toughest test he is going terrific. 2 Kind Darci comes here off a nine week freshen up and is sure to give a big sight especially if he can find a spot on-pace.

 

BET:     Backing 4 FIRSTHAND

 

QUADDRELLA:

1st leg:   2 – 3 – 5

2nd leg:  1

3rd leg:   1 – 2 – 4 – 10

4th leg:    1 – 2- 3 – 4 – 10 – 11

$36 = 50%
