GRAFTON R2 #10 WENDT

X1 STAKE WIN $3
X0.5 STAKE WIN TOTE

I was on the fence to stake or not, decided one stake can’t hurt, think decent chance to go forward and hopefully lead which should suit this horse who has shown a decent cruising speed so think that’s the best chance to win by running along and getting the others off the bit over the 1000m and hopefully can keep kicking, none of the opp look good to me. The concern was ex Moody Coleman horse so wouldn’t think they would let the horse go if any good but anything could of happened I guess


NARROMINE R1 #12 SABATINA

X1 STAKE WIN $5.50
X1 STAKE TOTE 

Liked the way moved and looked to do it pretty easy over 900m which is a decent distance to stay untested. The Impeckable was given a few pushes by the jock in that trial and if my memory is okay subs nearly won a maiden, although I think a weak maiden but the opp are well exposed here, hard to trust off one trial these types but at same time couldn’t knock

WARRNAMBOOL R1 #10 RIVAZZA

X3 STAKE WIN $4.80
X2.5 STAKE WIN TOTE 

#7 GEFFINA

X1.25 STAKE WIN $8
X1.25 STAKE WIN TOTE

I thought GEFFINA jumped out well enough with Prince Sonic and because of that I had to give RIVAZZA a chance then because they jumped out together and thought RIVA looked a bit sharper early which I don’t usually care about but given this is 1000m and Meech is on then I think it can be a positive being more forward. Riva looked to travel untested and Geffina I’m not sure if was being restrained a bit or was just being a bit of a nutcase but wasn’t far off so couldn’t knock. Riva then went forward and showed some speed in trial Cavity Bay there has won a race. Meech didn’t asked much in straight, Miss Swift behind. Sacramental behind goes okay. Think could go forward and have them off the bit turning if they want. Dimora Queen wouldn’t shock but at same time had four goes and hasn’t won. Goes in exotics

WARRNAMBOOL R3 #8 SQUANDER

X1 STAKE WIN $14
X0.5 STAKE WIN TOTE

#7 BARBIE’S DREAMWORLD

X0.5 STAKE WIN $7

Squander had shown me f all until the latest j/o hence low staking but latest j/o went to the line with three winners and Spare Coin has won a few races and it looked a bit of a test late they were not just jogging, might be a real heavy track horse or maybe penny took a while to drop happy to take the risk for small stake at biggish odds. Mental health saver on Barbie because in black book and had a fairly tough run being a bit wide and not much cover last start
