STAKE SATURDAY 4TH JAN 2025

CRANBOURNE R5 #4 EMMCEE

X4 STAKE WIN $2
X3 STAKE WIN TOTE

Not getting too carried away with staking because some of the times have been pretty slow but want to have something on because has looked good against some horses better than maiden grade like Dom, Maisy, Gunboat and the opp here look limited. Will have a mental health saver on MICKIDAMUZZ because backed first up and ran well, just got too far back imo if ridden more positive here can win. Hayes stable usually have them pretty fit to win over distance on debut, seen a few lately that have looked under a fair bit of pressure against horses that are not better than maiden grade in trials and then came out and ran really well. Winkers are on

GEELONG R4

#8 CAVALRY GIRL

X2 STAKE WIN $5.50
X2 STAKE WIN TOTE

#10 COSMIC SHOWER

X3 STAKE WIN $4.80
X3 STAKE WIN TOTE

Exotics are in preview write up. Cavalry has jumped out decent against some older horses and shown speed, not sure how good those older horses are hence a bit more on Cosmic. Cosmic got home well against La Roux who subs won. Recent j/o I’m thinking had a fair bit of weight on the back because jock is a picnic jock so would have been carrying more weight than the others and stuck on okay behind La Roux again. Not sure the market will take that into consideration much hence gone tote odds too

RANDWICK R1 #9 COMMANDING BELLE
X1 STAKE WIN $7.50
X0.75 STAKE WIN TOTE

Matched motors with a winner in first trial, next one thought was just okay hence low stake but at same time wanted something on because nothing else really stood out
