WODONGA R1
Couldn’t have Starwedge, if Moody and Coleman can get to win then they get the goat trophy again for hiding because looks slow. AUSSIE ADAPTOR goes in exotics, looks okay. EL FORTRESS top pick and goes in all exotics, was making good ground last start. STAR OF IDA goes in at odds just because only had the one j/o could see and was a while ago so could have improved, and winkers go on so couldn’t say confidently have seen the best or limit yet. Did look pretty plain though in that j/o. OLIVIA ROSE is the last one that goes in exotics, didn’t think had shown much before debut but have to forgive debut because was three wide no cover so given none
MOONEE VALLEY R1
Had a couple dollars EW on a few at odds. RATTLE ‘N’ ROLL was in the black book before debut and ran okay in an okay form race and maybe doesn’t like heavy ground. TREASUREFLIGHT could improve 2nd up and Shadhavar subs won and was nearby at the end of race. WELCOMETOTHESHOW is the one I’ve had the most on EW, thought ran very well on debut against a couple handy ones in Hot Digity Boom and the horse named after the Harry Potter stick thing. Would love a different jock on but hopefully jock has learnt not to try strangling the horse and just let it run, and it will finish off better than did on debut. CLEAN REEF goes in all exotics but just think $1.55 is maybe priced off a couple j/o wins when she didn’t beat anything of note so seems odd
CANTERBURY R2
HOPPER was a stake bet on debut. Inside Man can go in exotics, trialled okay. PROVISEUR thought was going to be a stake bet but then latest trial wasn’t good enough, has to go in exotics with the trial before that. SHE REX was a stake on debut, winner of that race subs won again. VANESSI is an old black book horse so goes in exotics
MUSWELLBROOK R1
OUR QUEEN BEE was strong after the line against Overtook who was pretty impressive the other day. Will have something on. Only reason didn’t make a stake was because didn’t show a turn of foot before the line when asked which was the slight concern over 1000m but could have improved again with only the one trial
