CANTERBURY R3 #5 PRIVATE LIFE

X8.5 STAKE WIN $3

#4 MR ARTEMISIA

0.5 STAKE WIN $9

First look at this race and I think hope I can find something to beat Private because I know the market just auto goes to what J Mac is on but after watching all the trials I think is the most likely winner. I got no facts to back up but I think Waller thinks they go alright if happy to send to the races off one trial. J Mac sticks. He cruised up behind Sovereign Hill who was given a good hit out and looked like a colt that wanted to win, time looked to back it up on what I could see going off other trials. You would have to think most would come on and improve after the one trial. The little concern I would have is how good is Sovereign but saying that it is hard to say anything else has trialled against better. I think Clean Energy should go forward and hopefully use up a lot of petrol early, ran good time in trial but was stopping after line so hopefully sets a good pace and Private can get some cover and get into the clear turning for home and then Clean run out of gas about the 900m mark. Let’s Go Barbie goes in my exotics, liked the recent trial and that scares me a bit because time if correct looked good but had a light weight jock on so I’m hoping that helped alot. Lady Zodiac exotics. MR ARTEMISIA the smallest saver on for mental health because watching first trial thinking this will be the main bet, liked work late against a horse who has subs ran well and puntingform class read well but then was plain in the next but you never know if they are playing with them a bit or something. Next best numbers for F4 1,2,3,9

WARRNAMBOOL R3 #14 SHADHAVAR

X1.5 STAKE WIN $3.80

Again not confident hence small stake but it is the Bool and a race with first starters and wouldn’t be confident anything else can win too so might as well have something small on. Was only the recent jump-out that caught the eye and again that lowers confidence and time was not that good too, did look like a solid type though and like the action, there was Hard to Cross behind who goes decent but was asked for anything too so hard to get too excited about that
