STAKE SATURDAY 25TH JAN 2025

SANDOWN LAKESIDE R3 #4 OLATUNDE

X1.25 STAKE WIN $6.50

#5 REDDERS

X1.25 STAKE WIN $3.50

Low confidence hence low staking. Didn’t think much between Menshevik and Olatunde but just went with Ola because was asked for more of an effort than Mensh but least you know will most likely respond to riding race day were Mensh could have more ability but guessing whether or not will go another gear, Mensh goes in all exotics. Redders low stake because didn’t think showed much first couple but thought latest was okay because had Tycoon Star behind and Aleppo Pine, couldn’t go big staking with that j/o though because they were given a pretty quiet time behind Redders. Will box all them up and include Shining Smile

SANDOWN LAKESIDE R4 #2 PALM ANGEL

X1.75 STAKE WIN $3.60

#9 EXPULSION

X1.75 STAKE WIN $15

Palm doesn’t owe me anything after winning on debut, doesn’t look like has gone backwards with recent j/o. EXPULSION beat home Acheter in a j/o then recent wasn’t asked for much against Palm, couldn’t be confident could beat Palm off that but at the odds, feel like have to put something on, think way over the odds, will try and lay My Gladiola, have a little but will try more race time. Love the breeding but stable are shocking with debut horses if going off my spreadsheet with strike rate. Love betting the exotics on these races but will send and update after scratchings, still a few horses to go through down the bottom but didn’t want to be sending at 11.30

#15 SHYSTAR

X0.75 STAKE WIN $34

Some quiet jump-outs and then was okay with (I think) a heavier jockey than the others in latest against Olatunde so you will get a guide there

#16 SUPERLIV

X0.75 STAKE WIN $126

Seems crazy odds for a horse who jumped out with Shining Smile and was still in front after the line

#17 MELROSE

X0.75 STAKE WIN $26

I couldn’t knock, looks to have a decent cruising speed

NEWCASTLE R4 #10 ISLAND DREAM

X3.75 STAKE WIN $10
X3.75 STAKE PLACE $2.90

Some quiet trials recently. If there is another gear or two there, would think can win a maiden and be hitting the line well
