NO TIPS, ANALYSIS FOR RACES 1-4 OVER THE JUMPS
Race 5: Wellington Real Estate Mdn – 1108m
Regal Zeus (8) didn’t give himself much of a chance on resumption last start over the Sale 1000m when missing the start by three lengths before making up ground on the eventual winner of the race over the last 100m, expecting improvement here if he can begin with them. Wirrpanda (10) looks to have ability after a couple of encouraging Flemington jump outs running through the line under a hold. Piastri (7) responded when asked for an effort to make up late ground in recent Werribee trial, he may need luck from the wide barrier here. Bold Julius (1) looks to be resuming with improvement following a promising Cranbourne jump out. Open race.
Selection: No bet.
Race 6: Gippsland Real Estate Hcp (C1) – 1208m
There looks to be a decent amount of early speed with Miss Jenni Jynn (9), Fugacity (4), Belvago (2) and Boom Boom Betty (8) all contesting the early lead. Queen Of The Green (7) looked to have more to offer over the concluding stages of the Morphettville 1200m Group 3 Petaluma Proud Miss Stakes last start when caught two back on the rail until 200m out from the finish, this looks an easier task. Cause For Concern (1) was also luckless last start over the Pakenham 1200m with limited room late, he may need luck again drawn barrier one.
Selection: No bet.
Race 7: Graham Chalmer R/E (Bm64) – 2232m
Project Gutenberg (2) may push forward to lead from barrier one with Adonis Kick (4) coming across to settle positively from barrier eleven. The Awesome Son (3) should strip fitter after his second up performance over the Sandown 2100m last start in higher grade when settling back in the field off slow early splits before clocking the second fastest last 400m split in the race. His recent hurdle trial should sharpen him up and at double figure odds he looks a nice bet.
Selection: The Awesome Son (3).
Race 8: Sale Mazda & Mitsubishi (Bm64) – 1736m
Tough to find an early leader in a race with minimal speed on paper. Red On Red (6) may elect to go forward from barrier two with Raid The Bar (3) also prominent early. Funnyifitwon (2) looks suited dropping back in grade after getting too far back over the Sandown 1600m last start with minimal galloping room over the last 200m of the race. The wider barrier here should suit and if he can make his run early, he may have more upside on his rivals with mostly exposed form.
Selection: Funnyifitwon (2).
Race 9: Ladbroke It (Bm64) – 1419m
Proprietary (4) may have the early speed to lead from barrier four with The Marg Factor (11) and Antarctic Ocean (2) settling one pair back. King Neptune (7) should strip fitter after going forward to lead on a fast early speed last start over the Pakenham 1400m before tiring late, off modest early splits he should contest the finish. Ivan’s Hero (15) looks suited dropping back from 1600m to 1400m after finishing three lengths off Gringotts over the Sandown 1400m two starts back in higher grade, that run would be good enough to win this.
Selection: no bet.
