Selections based on a good track
Race 1 - 12:45PM WAGGA RSL CLUB SHOWCASE SUPER MAIDEN PLATE (1200 METRES) |
---|
12. Me Me was resuming from a spell and sprinted well to hit the lead only to be run down late when second behind Oui Oui Oui at Kembla Grange. She looks talented and only needs to overcome the wide alley to be a winning chance here. 3. Smart Asset is on debut and has shown talent in jumpouts and a trial. 2. Kurrajong is first-up on the back of a Kembla Gramge trial and can be thereabouts. 9. Hell Of A Fox ran second at Canberra when last produced and is not out of this.
How to play it: Me Me WIN.
Race 2 - 1:20PM TOYOTA FORKLIFTS CLASS 3 SHOWCASE HANDICAP (1000 METRES) |
---|
6. Sparklenglitter looked good winning on debut at Orange and backed that up with a runaway victory at Nowra. She’s speedy and should take plenty of running down again here. 7. Xspiritous has been placed in both runs at Goulburn since resuming from a spell and can figure in the money again. 2. Never Fails took on Highway grade at Randwick last Saturday and can improve on that ninth placing back to this company. 1. Field Marshal resumes for a new stable and has performed well fresh.
How to play it: Sparklenglitter WIN.
Race 3 - 1:55PM GALLAGHER INSURANCE BROKERS CLASS 1 HANDICAP (1200 METRES) |
---|
1. Santasia has finished second at this track and at Albury at her latest two starts and she should give a good sight from the good draw. She was beaten by a handy type when placed behind One Hard Lady last time out. 5. Paparazzo resumed with a strong Benalla victory and shouldn’t be taken lightly in this company. 3. Miss Emma ran well when placed at Canberra at her latest start, while 2. Boom In the Dark was also placed at Canberra when last produced and has claims.
How to play it: Santasia EACH WAY.
Race 4 - 2:30PM JRC ELECTRICAL SERVICES MTC GUINEAS - 3YO BM74 HANDICAP (1600M) |
---|
2. Dupli Kate is a talented filly with four wins to her name including a fast-finishing triumph at this track at her latest run. She has a wide alley to overcome here but the step up to 1600m looks like it will suit, and she can maintain her impressive record. 1. Fear No Evil ran well when he led and was run down late in the Mornington Guineas. 3. Jato impressed when winning easily at Albury at her latest start and she can give cheek again, while 7. Tact won well at Kembla Grange when second-up and can overcome the outside gate here and be a leading contender.
How to play it: Dupli Kate WIN.
Race 5 - 3:05PM BYRNE TRAILERS QUEEN OF THE SOUTH - F&M BM66 HANDICAP (1400M) |
---|
9. Bon Holler is a lightly raced filly that has impressed winning two of her three starts. She has more upside than most of these and should be primed to win again from a good gate. 10. Snowy ran third as favourite at the Sapphire Coast before a last start fifth at Canberra. 4. Southern Fire is a last start Albury winner that can show up with a repeat of that effort. 2. Prophet’s Daughter finished third behind Southern Fire at Albury and could get into the placings again.
How to play it: Bon Holler WIN.
Race 6 - 3:40PM WALSH & BLAIR COUNTRY MAGIC BM74 HANDICAP (1200 METRES) |
---|
15. So You Pence resumed from a long spell with a second at Goulburn and then backed that up with a strong last start win there. She’s still on the up and can go on with the job here. 13. Dolly appreciated a drop in class when not beaten far when fifth here last time out. 12. Danceenuff wasn’t beaten far when resuming and has had a trial to be kept up to the mark for this. 8. Chasing A Quid won well at Gundagai at his latest outing and is drawn to advantage.
How to play it: So You Pence WIN.
Race 7 - 4:20PM WAGGA RSL CLUB WAGGA WAGGA GOLD CUP (2000 METRES) |
---|
10. Medatsu ran well when finishing fourth at Randwick and then was down the track in the Neville Sellwood before hitting the line well for a last start fifth in the Albury Cup. He made good ground in the straight from back in the field in that event and the big track here should suit with the limit weight. 2. Matusalem is a stablemate of Medatsu and he had been racing well with a second in the Canberra Cup and a solid Easter Cup effort at Caulfield before going forward and fighting on well to score in the Albury Cup when last produced. He rises in weight here but can give a sight again. 12. Flying Bandit is on the quick back up after a fourth at Randwick last Saturday, while 8. Bear On The Loose should give a good sight on the speed from the inside barrier.
How to play it: Medatsu EACH WAY.
Race 8 - 5:00PM 000 PLUMBING SERVICES AUSTRALIA BM58 HANDICAP (1300 METRES) |
---|
1. Salute Again is a local that is in good form having finished third at this track when resuming and then third again in Highway grade at Randwick when not beaten far. He gets his chance here with the apprentice allowance. 5. Teetotal hasn’t been beaten far in his latest two starts and can figure prominently with a repeat of those efforts. 8. Yam has performed well enough in two runs back from a spell to be rated a contender here, while 10. Tycoon Artie is a last start Leeton winner that has claims.
How to play it: Salute Again WIN.
