#2 DELIGHTFUL TYCOON #6 LOST IN TIME
Delightful given a quiet time with Sophies Revenge in a jump-out and that galloper has subsequently won a BM 64 well. Jump-out notes read that joined Tralee Rose after the line, that galloper since won a nice race in town. Lost In Time is over the odds, has jumped out okay.
Win bet $31 and $41 – More on Delightful
Exotics – 2,6,9

#12 YULONG CROWN
Not sure he beat much last start but he has had plenty of time to improve and mature since then and the race rated well on the clock for a maiden. To my eye it looks like Preusker has him going well, recently looking to travel well with talented galloper Coming Around at the jump-outs. Big odds.

#3 NEVER ASTERN #2 IMPACT STAR
Impact Star looked to have decent ability at the first trial and then needed to be urged along on the heavy in the next trial. Never Astern caught the eye and was untested over the 900m, was nearly level with Mimesis after the line. Ballo looked decent late in his trial and has to go in exotics.
Backing Astern $13.20 and saving Impact $9
Exotics – 1,2,3,7
Early Quad – 1,2,3,7/1,3/2,3,4,8/1,2,4,9

#7 MONGOLIAN PRIDE
Untested in most recent jump-out that caught my eye. Moved up to Esta La Roca and that galloper has already proven better than maiden grade.
