GEELONG R3 #2 SPIRITED DEFENCE
X1.25 STAKE WIN $6
X1.25 STAKE WIN TOTE
Not getting carried away with staking because find trainer hard to trust with the first starters, goes about 18% on my stuff, compared to Price/Kent and Maher are about the 40% to give a guide. Other reason couldn’t stake too much is the blinkers have been on and don’t look to be on race day, seen with thedoctoroflove recently for some reason jumped out with blinkers and then went to debut and didn’t have them on and got beat, recently won in town with blinkers, so can make a big difference. Spirited missing the start a bit with the blinkers on which I don’t care too much about at Geelong, would rather the blinkers stayed on because possibility doesn’t try as much with them not on but anyway to the positives, made ground in first j/o late but couldn’t take too much out of because don’t think opp out in front asked for much. Recent looked to travel well over 1000m beating home group horse Cool Aza Beel and just realised that horse hasn’t ran for over 3 years at least so wouldn’t think very fit
KENSINGTON R1 #2 BOLD BIDDER
X4.5 STAKE WIN TOTE
Thought showed an extra gear late when jock gave a little reminder to keep going and strong after line. Would think use good barrier over short distance, Spaceballs behind in trial who looks to go okay. I’ve also backed Straandstorm who could do anything. Was a quiet trial. Exotics add Royal Commodore and Blanc De Noir with above and Dare to Fly place chance
KENSINGTON R2 #5 ALDEZOR
X2 STAKE WIN $9.50
X2 STAKE PLACE TOTE
Hasn’t been asked for an effort yet to my eyes. Could be more there, stake lower with these because more confidence if asked and know if more gears there. Had something small Ew Kendalia, could be more there. Indie Mae, Ishikari exotics and Rach had no luck late on debut, few others found in market go in as place chancesnew
