Good 4 & Rail True:
*RACE 1 @ 1.21pm
STEWART GOULD REAL ESTATE COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HCP (1400m) – Min Weight 55kg; Apprentices
Can Claim:
TOP
SELECTION: 2. KICKSTART (Donna Scott/Blaike McDougall; 58.5kg & barrier
4) -we open up with a
competitive maiden; and it shapes nicely for this locally-trained 4YO by
fashionable sire Blue Point who is tracking to peak 4th-up over a furlong
further. Hit the line impressively here when 1st-up before again doing his best
work late from a mile back in a Super Maiden at Gundagai. Then settled worse
than midfield on the Riverside course at Wagga before charging home to beat all
bar the winner again. Back at home now & screaming for this longer trip; he
can settle back with important cover & be taken to the centre at the top of
the straight. The one to beat, especially given one of the early main rivals
was preferred at Canberra on Friday
MAIN
DANGERS: 1. *Mr Magnificence; 4. *Dunna Runna; 5. *Majestic Deel
Likely
Tempo: Solid
My
BET PLAN: KICKSTART to WIN & Trifecta: 2/1,4,5/1,4,5
*RACE
2 @ 1.56pm ALBURY DEMOLITIONS COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 1 HCP (1400m) –
Min Weight 55kg; Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP
SELECTION: 4. DOUBTFREE (Pat Widdup/Blaike McDougall; 56kg & barrier
3) -staying at the distance
for the lower class improvers; and very confident this progressive home track
4YO by Dubious can make it 2 straight on a quick back-up. Was placed in 4
consecutive runs around the region before dominant from the front at last Sunday’s
Cootamundra Cup meeting in a handy maiden. Stays at the distance on a
significant 3kg weight drop; and he can again dictate proceedings up front
& prove tough to run down in a race where there isn’t much tempo about
MAIN DANGERS: 1. **Sonic
Scene; 5. *Autumn Break; 7. *Showrata
Likely Tempo: Moderate
My BET PLAN: DOUBTFREE to WIN & Trifecta: 1,4/1,4,5/1,4,5,7
*RACE
3 @ 2.31pm MWS WEALTH PROFESSIONALS MAIDEN PLATE (1175m) – Set Weights;
Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP SELECTION: 13.
JUSTWATCHHER (Todd Smart/Quauyde Krogh; 55kg & barrier 4) -back in distance for the maidens at set weights;
and in a tricky race like this emerging 3YO Canberra filly by Maurice peaking
2nd-up over more ground at just her 3rd career start. Given plenty of time
since a debut failure back in autumn before ridden very quiet on return at home
over 1000m & charging home late into a place. Jockey change is significant;
and unlike last time when she was forced to go well back from a wide gate; can
park a little closer in the run from this draw; and only needs a clear crack at
them over the final 350m
MAIN
DANGERS: 2. *Angling For Info; 5. **Duke of D’Brook;
11. *Hip Hip Ole; 12. **Justenuffsplash
Likely
Tempo: Solid
My
BET PLAN: JUSTWATCHHER to WIN & Box Exacta: 5,12,13
*RACE
4 @ 3.10pm ATM HERE BENCHMARK 66 HCP (1600m) – Min Weight 55kg;
Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP
SELECTION: 7. GHOST WALKER (Danielle Seib/TBA; 59.5kg & barrier 9) -out to the mile we go for a strong
& open battle at this level; and rating on top is this talented &
sparingly-raced 5YO by Ready For Victory who is well placed to peak 3rd-up
coming back from two gallant efforts in much deeper Saturday Highway company.
Made some late ground from the back against the pattern at Rosehill 6 weeks
back before freshened & charging home to beat all bar a dominant winner a
fortnight ago. Well treated at the weights back here, especially on firm going
where he’s at his best. Settles back off a solid speed before producing a
superior closing 400m sectional
MAIN
DANGERS: 1. *Ruperts Red Rocket; 2. *Extravagant Choice; 4. *San Marco; 9.
*Devil Rider; 10. *Grey Lad
Likely
Tempo: Reasonable to Solid
My
BET PLAN: GHOST WALKER to WIN
*RACE
5 @ 3.46pm JINDERA TYRE SERVICE MAIDEN PLATE (900m) – Set Weights;
Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP
SELECTION: 13. SCUSIES (Toby lake/Blaike McDougall; 56kg & barrier
15) -right back to the flying short course here for the maidens
at set weights; and in a race of many chances; keen at the value on this 3YO
Victorian filly by Nicconi resuming for only her 2nd start. Came off a trial to
hold her ground okay on debut at Bendigo back in early April in what was a fair
form race before immediately being spelled. Has been given 2 spaced trials over
the past 6 weeks; reportedly been working well either side; and has enough
tactical speed to offset the wide draw.
MAIN DANGERS: 1. *Forte Cheval; 5. *Explosive Style; 6. *Penrose; 8.
*Showtime Kistena; 11. *Billie
Likely
Tempo: Good to Strong
My BET PLAN: SCUSIES Each Way
*RACE
6 @ 4.24pm GPE ELECTRICAL & COMMUNICATIONS BENCHMARK 58
HCP (900m) – Min Weight 55kg; Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP
SELECTION: 4. HELLS SON (Andrew Dale/Blaike McDougall; 62kg & barrier
4) -still
over the flying dash; and plenty
of chances also in this one for the restricted sprinters headed by this tough
& capable Victorian 5YO by Hellbent peaking 2nd-up. Was never far away in
four runs up to 1200m & deeper BM 74 grade around the region through
winter before being given a well deserved break. Then ridden quieter charged
home to miss by under a length at Wagga in weaker class carrying a big weight.
More depth here; but he’s fitter now; and a far stronger and more experienced
jockey takes over. Can settle back midfield with plenty of cover behind a
strong tempo before being given his head from the 350m. Placed twice form 3
starts at this track; and nothing will be finishing stronger
MAIN DANGERS: 2. *Foreman’s Gully; 3. *Spinosaurus;
5. *Magic Bertie; 6. **With Strength; 7. *Box Office
Likely
Tempo: Good to Strong
My BET PLAN: HELLS SON to WIN & First Four:
4,6/2,3,4,5,6,7/2,3,4,6,5,7/2,3,4,5,6,7
*RACE 7 @ 5.04pm CONWAY PRINTING CLASS 3 HCP (1175m) – Min
Weight 55kg; Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP
SELECTION: 4. READ MY LIPS (Grant White/Ms Brittany Button a2kg; 57kg &
barrier 10) -we close
the big day with a wide & good quality CL3 sprint; and it shapes best for
this tough & consistent Victorian 6YO by Rubick who is ready to win again
deep into the campaign. Came off a dominant BM 66 success at Corowa to produce
three consecutive tough placings, running home from off the speed and always
carrying big weights. Then ridden quieter, did his best work late in a deeper
BM 62 at Benalla 3 weeks ago. Has placed in 3 from 4 outings at this course;
drops in weight after the jockey’s 2kg claim; and can settle back off a strong
speed and be taken out to the middle at the top of the lane
MAIN DANGERS: 1. *Mansiere; 2. *Golden Warrior; 3. *Amber Star; 6.
**Taluk; 7. *Bon Holler; 10. **Light Foot
