X0.75 STAKE WIN $5
X0.75 STAKE WIN TOTE
Did f all on debut but rider reported made an abnormal respiratory noise. I can’t see any gear changes or surgery so thinking maybe issue resolved and maybe was minor, could be wrong. Resumed with a j/o and was untested and Standing Ovation, recent winner was ridden. The trial next I thought was plain, hence low staking when inconsistent, decided to forgive a little because jock looked to be struggling to stay on a little, don’t know if windy or saddle slipped or something or maybe I was just seeing things, there was a few good horses in that trial and Durova won yesterday. Recent j/o Reserve Bank there who looks good and Torlaah has won a couple races. Think there is a possibility the horse is a bit of a 800m type and might struggle late hence again the low stake but don’t think there is any opp here that look any good. LET’S TROT is the one that could win and I wouldn’t be shocked
