Racing In The West

[Chiquita]

LADYOFTHEPALACE should continue on her winning way although both SUDDEN RECOVERY & RED SOVEREIGN did make up some ground on the mare last start over 2200 & meet LADYOFTHEPALACE a bit better at the weights today.

Maiden SCENIC HEART has ability but still to put it altogether on race day.

Sudden Recovery almost an EW special on his last run! I say almost as he has disappointed over 2400M previously.

[Chiquita]

Assume the pontiff was as impressed with Ready Freddy's debut as much as I was. With Harvey's engagement likely to be a bit short for mine especially from the extreme outside barrier. But will wait a see what odds we can get.

Top effort Ready Freddy at only 2nd race start! Used up a bit early to get to lead then fought on extra well to be beaten a couple of noses!!

[Chiquita]

Sudden Recovery almost an EW special on his last run! I say almost as he has disappointed over 2400M previously.

Thought Sudden Recovery had just got the nod but had to settle for a dead-heat for 1st. Still nice profit even with the 1/2 win divvy.

As you predicted Chiquita they didn't forget to back Ready Freddy! A lot of money lost in that close finish!! Including mine :(

With you on this one partypooper. All Keyed up very good second-up record and loves the 1400M. Kingston Classic might be a good value place bet. First-up record not all that flash but the smallish field shoud suit and should be blazing home at the finish.

True Steel is finally set to make his jumps debut at Flemington this Saturday. Nominated for both the 3200 and 3400 events trainer Robbie Laing has indicated a likely preference for the shorter race. True Steel has been schooling well although Laing was slightly disappointed with his last trial over the fences.

For those they may not be aware True Steel crashed through the second last hurdle (at his hurdle debut) and was pulled out of the race.

It was originally thought True Steel may have sustained a serious injury, but on cooling down it appeared he had escaped virtually unscathed.

Well things have got worse! He is now fighting for his life at a Ballarat vet clinic after an apparent infection has caused his hind leg to well and truly swell.

Reported on high doses of anti biotics at the moment and is in a critical condition.

Getting in early with (7) Golly Gee. She would have won last start at Belmont but for commencing slowly, racing 3-wide until near the 800m & then laying outwards under pressure over the final bit! Blinkers off today in an attempt to have the filly settle. If she settles she will win.

Can't add to watsonnek's post but do hope all is on the up and up!

[watsonnek]

Reports are that True Steel is responding well to anti-biotics and is on the road to recovery after contracting a mystery infection and there's been about 50% improvement with the swelling in his hind leg, which is great news.

I heard that there is a steward's inquiry into one of the races yesterday @ Belmont, but not sure which race. Does anyone know? From what I heard the jockey is being challenged about his/her ride & giving their mount every possible chance.

[umrum]

after backing impaler over east headed to the track full of confidence. took the 5/2 for cape north, then the $9 electic and then $3.40 woodala. what started as a good day ended up as a very very sick one. if you backed a winner your going well. Thommo was most impressive but the race would have been interesting if b parnham had gone to the outside on electic instead of being blocked for a run from the 400m - 200m. Not sure electic would have beaten thommo but woul;d not have been much in it.

Money Exchange the winner of 5 of 14 starts did the job easily in winning the last trial at Belmont on Monday.

Money Exchange hasn’t started since well beaten in the Cyril Flower Stakes in Feb this year.

Money Exchange's most notable win - the Placid Ark Stakes (3YO) beating the VERY handy Is Amazing.

I notice that the 2nd horse in Money Exchange' heat (Beerbohm Tree) is a former eastern stater yet to race in WA. All his wins have been over a bit of ground but might go well fresh given his trial performance.

[roman@oz]

Top effort last week Torrid Affair (R2 tomorrow) but boy did she have a hard run! Wouldn't be rushing out tomorrow and taking shorts about her!

[anchor]

That's the question about Torrid Affair, something a form guide doesn't tell you unless you have trainer statistics which include backing up in 7days after a hard run etc etc. Otherwise looks well in with 57kg, drawn to probably settle a little closer than last week.

It pays to be at the track ;)

Torrid Affair not only had a hard run in transit last Saturday week but back in the enclosure was blowing the proverbial.

Obviously did well the week following to run again Saturday, but couldn't see how she could back up and improve so early in current prep.

A couple of weeks off & she’ll ready to fire ;)

Torrid Affair is a nomination for Saturday's The Go For 2 & 5 over 2000M. Behn Scenic who beat Torrid Affair on Saturday ditto. Hail Halo & Belarus another couple of interesting noms.

[Ascot Al]

Deltamaster might improve a bit tomorrow (r2) especially if the stings out of the ground. (Bit of rain in Perth last couple of days although not a deluge)

Lip Service is weighted to turn the table on Haunts (r3). Sprited Touch some chance as well.

Believe The Cat might break his maiden (r4) but not sure how strong he can run the distance. Plenty of other chances including Birkhall & Nullagine.

The Kersley trained Secret Link hard to hold out (r5). Agree previous posts Prince of Vasac & Local Product both good chances. Fort Lavinia good chance on best.

Accept The Rose (r8) first try over distance could do well. Lady Kiseki & Red Sovereign both in good form.

More rain predicted overnight & early tomorrow but then expected to clear.

Happy punting!

The 1st just the one Key To My Heart . That filly wearing blinkers first time.
Blinkers first time for Western Flight in the 2nd as well. Same race Travellin Soldier been placed last 2 at Belmont. In the Oaks we have Real Special who looks a genuine chance. Real Halo the 4th looks a good hope. In the cup we could easily take out the tri with Scenic Assault, River Mist & Spider Strikes. Nothing in the 6th. Likewise the penultimate. And Jungle Toy first-up in the last.

Belmont trials today. Watching with interest the performances of Ser Grill (winner 8 from 19 starts) and Laetare who hasn't started since October last when that campaign was cut short by injury.

Neither flattered Modem!
Ser Grill 4th beaten 7L Laetare 6th beaten 8 1/4L
Volition won the heat just (LNK) over Stone Man

Belmont today…

Race 4 ESCAPE is first-up today. 2 previous starts in WA not beaten far. A winner at Rosehill & previous first-up record ok. Same race former Enzedder BEWITHYOUMAK is 2nd-up today. Placed once from two starts in NZ. Blinkers added.

Race 5 good debut Belmont first-up from former Victorian REGAL OAMARU and suited extra distance today.

Race 6 another former Victorian BRONC makes his WA debut. Previous first-up performances reasonable.

Today we have Jungle Toy the 4th (scratched from Saturday). Glen Erin Rose & All Our Smiles the 5th. Expedition, Silver Rolls, Calarosa Donna & Crossing Jordan the 6th. And finally Menonavajo the 8th.

HUGE result for the greys Belmont race 6! Hope you had some steve!! I know I did :D

[puntersteve]

Yes indeed a great result for the greys in the 6th grey sapphire. With Expedition out just the 3 starters, finishing 1st, 2nd & 3rd with the winner Crossing Jordan paying $40 win in WA!

A few today at Northam. Tribute To Alfie & Zed’s Girl in the 1st. Carlos the 2nd, Vain Vixen the 6th. And Maverick’s Pago the 7th.

[demister jay]

The greys seem to go pretty well this time of year Steve. Nice result yesterday. My better half backed Crossing Jordan! Not because he's a grey but she's a keen fan of the TV series :rolleyes: Not complaining. Received a nice bottle of scotch courtesy the missus :)

The 4th at Northam today looks a good race for Torbay Bay. Beat Tycoon Cut C3 this track 1000M last start. Tycoon Cut finished 2nd in the last Belmont yesterday. Start before Torbay Bay led and fought on well over 1200M C6 at Belmont.

cant see Sooty turning the tables on Telbon Gold who imo is the days special..

[shaun1993]

My best bet for Broome Sat is the toppy in the 4th - Sir Chalmers

[shaun1993]

cant see Sooty turning the tables on Telbon Gold who imo is the days special..

On paper agree looks that way purplepassion but if you look at the stewards report re their last meeting "SOOTY THE SWEEP slow into stride and raced wide throughout"

Telbon Gold was most impressive in winning his last start but if the pace is on Sooty will be flying home, just a matter of how much start he gives Telbon.

[PATfromPERTH]

Keyton Grace; Prince Of Vasac; Kim Invader; Intowishin

[puntersteve]

Pretty good result Northam Thursday with Zeds Girl kicking things off on a good note winning the 1st & Vain Vixen ($18 in WA) winning the 6th.

Not many today at Belmont. Just Expedition & Silver Deck in the 2nd & Our Grey Halo & Travellin Soldier in the 8th.

Almost forgot Sooty The Sweep at Broome. Not a full grey but enough to claim him for a bit of interest today.

Coalseam impressed me most the weekend. Since stepping up to middle distance has won 3 from 5. The other 2 starts most unlucky and imo should have 5 from 5. Very promising stayer.

Early days yet but must admit have also been impressed by the ease of his last 2 wins..

[umrum]

Really good wins by colseam recently but remember he carried light weights and really has beat no one. Main stage has been a great horse but his best was two to three years ago. All you can do is beat who you are up against but if he faces stronger competition in the spring/summer he may be found out.

cheers

[watsonnek]

Coalseam's time 2:31:74 is well outside the track / race record. For mine the jury's out awaiting his performances against some decent stayers

A 2yo having his first official race start he did the work both ends of the race and ran 1:11:28 for the 1200. Ran a faster time (and final sectional) than Run Benny Run who won an open handicap later that day and just .19 sec slower than the very handy sprinter City Of Ruins who won the main sprint of the day.

Very impressive imo!

Great Nation & Gobiton look well in at the weights. Arctic Park & Yaya Lad not, but either could take this out with luck in running. Impressive Stats racing a bit below best in recent times but capable. Wire Detonator not badly weighted either. Bold Ransom will probably need the run. Silver Seam & Startego both honest but look a little out of their depth.

STARTEGO $41.00 $9.00

[westman]

Great Nation & Gobiton look well in at the weights. Arctic Park & Yaya Lad not, but either could take this out with luck in running. Impressive Stats racing a bit below best in recent times but capable. Wire Detonator not badly weighted either. Bold Ransom will probably need the run. Silver Seam & Startego both honest but look a little out of their depth.

Not a bad field for this time of year!

Kalgoorlie Today....

Race 2 sees the WA debut of former South Aussie galloper Zoltan. Two runs in SA before going west and should give a good account in this. Race 3 former Vic Miss Mona is backing up after an improved effort last week. Obviously has backed up well after that race. Same can be said for another former Vic Ticky Ticky Tembo race 4. Race 5 former Vic galloper Get It Good is having his 2nd start in WA. Well beaten first-up but will be improved by that run & step up in distance will suit. Bit of money around for yet another former Vic Galloper Colonel Mustard last start. Better for that run.

[puntersteve]

Great return by Moodometer to win the 5th at Belmont yesterday. Today at Kalgoorlie we have Menonavajo in the 3rd. Young Milfred, Hot Time & Our Nicola in the 4th. Precious Lady & Speedy Jecka in the 5th. And Haka Star & Benny’s Raider in the last.

The Trevors Andrew's trained Turbo Charged (r1) caught my eye. Having his first race start the Blackfriar's gelding was charging home late. A very good debut!

Agree previous 2 posts, both horses worth a follow-up. Like to add Yaya Lad. Beaufine run was excellent running the fastest final sectional in the race.

[grey sapphire]

Tycoon Cut looks nicely placed in the 3rd although yet to race over 1200. Won't mind the sting out of the track should the rain stay around as predicted.

Pretty much on the mark Modem ;) Good to see Impressive Stats showing some form - last placed in the city back in May 2005 in the Bolton Sprint which he won.

Oaks winner Moodometer's first-up win was stamped with quality & she looks set for more success!

Have doubts that Tycoon Cut will run out a strong 1200 grey sapphire but from the marble she should get a good sit (assuming the track's not too bad). One that should be at a bits of odds same race is Spirited Touch. She's still a maiden but will run out a strong 1200. Wet track form not that flash.

[westman]

Fastest heats of the day shared by unraced 2YO's Timely Reign (heat 2) and New Spice (heat 4). Last few heats were abandoned due to the deteriorating state of the track.

[watsonnek]

Amazed they even went ahead with the trials yesterday given the weather!!

Yet another class '6' that has NO class 6 horses engaged :rolleyes:
(Best 1 x class 4)

[watsonnek]

Watching with interest any betting moves for the Trevor Andrews trained Upgrade race2 tomorrow. First race-start back in October last year started fav but failed to finish (pulled-up). A post race vet examination revealed the colt to be shin sore. 2 trials this month for a 2nd and 1st.

[watsonnek]

Eastern Standard race4 gets his chance to add another metro race to his collection. Will appreciate the likely rain affected track and the 3kg claim for D’Yan Masdil. Despite the 3kg claim D’Yan has had a lot riding experience (a couple of years mostly WA country tracks) but seldom gets a chance in the city. They’re also adding blinkers to Eastern Standard’s gear tomorrow. This too could have a positive effect.

Nothing wrong with Wire Detonator's run in the Beaufine. Was slow away, raced wide throughout and was still only beaten 1.75lens!
