the Remainder:
*RACE 1 @ 2.10pm
ANN McHARDY MAIDEN PLATE (900m) – Set Weights; Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP
SELECTION: 8. KATHY’S ROSE (Toby Lake/Josh Richards; 56.5kg & barrier 2) -the maiden sprinters open the meeting
over the short course in a tricky & moderate affair; but it shapes
best for this progressive 3YO filly by sprint sire Turffontein crossing the
Victorian border 3rd-up off a 5 week let-up. Resumed for her 2nd prep with a
close placing on New Year’s Day before hitting the line even better when ridden
a quieter on Australia Day. That form is solid for this; and she will
benefit greatly getting on to a much bigger track; again drawn to get a
soft run with cover just off the speed
MAIN
DANGERS: 2. *Head And Heart; 4. *Captivating Storm; 5. **Lady’s Job Is Done
Likely
Tempo: Good to Strong
My
BET PLAN: KATHY’S ROSE to WIN & Trifecta: 5,8/2,4,5,8/2,4,5,8
*RACE
2 @ 2.45pm DLG ALUMINIUM & GLAZING COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE
(1500m) – Set Weights; Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP
SELECTION: 5. DENICCI (Martin Stein/Nick Souquet; 57kg & barrier 8) –still with the maidens at set
weights; but out over a middle distance; and this improving 4YO mare by Group 1
Golden Rose winner Denman can strike at her 2nd run for the new home track
stable since transferring down from the Mid North Coast. Was never far away in
a handy prep up north late last year before reloading off a 5 week break here
& running home fairly behind a smart & well backed winner. Naturally
more acclimatised now, with a stronger and senior jockey going on, and far less
depth in this race. Suited by a rise in trip as well & should settle back
midfield off the fence and run over them late
MAIN DANGERS: 8.
*Abitsuss; 9. *Lost Ya Sock
Likely Tempo: Reasonable
My BET PLAN: DENICCI to
WIN
*RACE
3 @ 3.25pm HUTCHINSON CIVIL BENCHMARK 66 HCP (1175m) – Min Weight 55kg;
Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP
SELECTION: 7. COOEE (Ron Stubbs/Jason Lyon; 59kg & barrier 1) -another strong &
open sprint at a competitive level awaits; and nothing looks better placed than
this lightly raced & progressive locally-trained 6YO by Holler 2nd-up &
significantly on a 11 day back-up. Won twice here from just off the speed to
open his career back in the middle of last year before resuming on Australia
Day at Wagga under 62.5kg & finishing under a length from a smart
& well backed winner. Suited nicely here down 2.5kg; and drawn inside with
gear changes in play. Headed for bigger races; and this can pitchfork him
towards a start over the March carnival
MAIN
DANGERS: 1. *Brenlyn’s Daisy; 3. *Sheila; 4. **Mooshaka; 5. *Chasing A Quid; 6.
*Miss Emma; 8. *Dupride Star
Likely
Tempo: Solid
My
BET PLAN: COOEE to WIN & Quinella: 4 and 7
*RACE
4 @ 4.05pm GLENN CHAPMAN MAIDEN HCP (1175m) – Min Weight 55kg; Apprentices
Can Claim:
TOP
SELECTION: 7. BON HOLLER (Donna Scott/Blaike McDougall; 56.5kg & barrier
14) -the
maidens again lock horns in a testing battle over the same sprint trip; with a
few first starters in play. Very keen on one of them; trained on the track; in
this nicely bred 3YO filly also by Holler & out of a Bel Esprit mare. Has
progressed through two handy trials just over the border; strong through the
line at her latest. Leading jockey stays on for the real thing; and despite
drawing wide; she can open her career with a bang
MAIN
DANGERS: 1. **Magic Leprechaun; 4. **Roulottie; 6. *Madam Doesfly; 11. Soon To
Bloom
Likely
Tempo: Solid to Good
My
BET PLAN: BON HOLLER to WIN & Box Exacta: 1,4,7
*RACE
5 @ 4.40pm DUX ALBURY BENCHMARK 58 HCP (1600m) – Min Weight 55kg;
Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP
SELECTION: 4. NOTES (Scott Spackman/Nick Souquet; 61kg & barrier 9) -out we go in distance
for an open & restricted mile; and confident this tough & still
progressing 6YO by Irish sire Wrote can go back-to-back staying at the distance
17 days between runs. Finished well from midfield into a place in a deeper BM
58 2 starts ago before charging home late to beat similar opposition here last
time. That was his 1st win in a while; and despite rising 2kg in weight; less
depth this time and he’s right at peak fitness now 4th-up. Bred to get further
MAIN
DANGERS: 3. *Copperfield; 8. *Bobotov; 10. *Extravagant Choice; 11. *Written
Advice; 13. *Washington
Likely
Tempo: Reasonable to Solid
My
BET PLAN: NOTES to WIN
*RACE
6 @ 5.15pm STEVE STEWART COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 2 HCP (1000m) – Min Weight
55kg; Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP
SELECTION: 5. PETAWAWA (Matthew Dale/TBA;56kg & barrier 12) –we come right back to
the sprint trip for an open & good quality contest with handy depth. Like
this progressive 3YO filly by Written Tycoon shooting for back-to-back wins 34
days between runs after sweeping home to claim her maiden first-up at Wagga for
the new Goulburn stable. That was only her first run since tackling deeper
provincial company last May; and she possesses a lot of scope. Had always
promised a lot after debuting in metro carnival company as a 2YO. Will
naturally drift well back again here from the wide draw, and as long as she can
tuck in for cover; boasts superior acceleration over the closing sectionals
MAIN
DANGERS: 1. *Brial Rose; 2. *Densetsu; 3. *Helluva Teen; 7.**Spirit Lake; 8.
*Champagne Sharon; 9. **Trifecta Ruby
Likely
Tempo: Good to Strong
My
BET PLAN: PETAWAWA to WIN & First Four:
5,7,9/1,2,3,5,7,8,9/1,2,3,5,7,8,9/1,2,3,5,7,8,9
*RACE
7 @ 5.50pm NAUGHTIN DEVELOPMENT GROUP BENCHMARK 58 HCP (1400m) – Min Weight
55kg; Apprentices Can Claim:
TOP
SELECTION: 3. MAID IN DUBAI (Craig Weeding/Ms Sarah McDonough a2kg; 60kg &
barrier 9) -a
competitive & very even contest over the 7 furlongs closes the
program; and confident we can ride home aboard this tough & consistent 4YO
Victorian country mare shooting for a 3rd win in the prep 5th-up. Charged home
from well back to land consecutive races over the border up to this level
before making late ground in deeper grade at Mornington after a tough run. Then
settled further back here 17 days ago in a BM 58; rocketing home to unluckily
miss by a half head. Carries 1kg less after the claim; and should get enough
speed up front to allow her to tuck in & be saved for one closing surge
over the final 400m
MAIN
DANGERS: 1. *Teetotal; 4. **Super Sunny Seeya; 5.*Sorry Sunshine; 8. *Sydney
Gal; 9. **Olivia’s Scandal; 10. *Gijima Gal
