Sandown...... How tuff is today's racing !!
Thought I'd through my thoughts together.... Good luck people !
Race 1
Not much here, maybe (1) Stealth Knight was second (although by 6 len) Din, which has since jumped well and he has Durden on board. The danger is (4) Bounty Beat with (5) Hit The Spot an improver on his first jumps effort.
Tips - 1 Stealth Knight, 4 Bounty Beat, 5 Hit The Spot1
Race 2
(1) Codify looks good in this even race, has city ability, this is his pet distance and has performed on rain affected going. Also gets 2kg claim with a good young fellow in Mott on board. I think (6) Pleasure Cruiser is an interesting runner who has run well in provincial races in past two also on rain affected ground and throw in (8) Majestic Point who put in a solid run last start and likes the 1000m
Tips (1) Codify, (6) Pleasure Cruiser, (8) Majestic Point
Race 3
(4) Mio Figlio is an interesting runner is well weighted to the top 2 horse and has everything going for him – track, distance and conditions. (7) Scotch Rocks is next best and the costly (2) Black Bubble, who does have a few things in his favour
Tips – (4) Mio Figlio, (7) Scotch Rock, (2) Black Bubble
Race 4
(1) Leonurus is a last start city winner and ran second two starts back in town, has the claim although R Maloney is a concern, but should handle track and distance. (2) Mr Splinters made good ground on slow last start and is a good chance, while (7) Sayers was impressive in a Maiden last start on slow going and not sure of what to make of (3) Blutigeroo – QLD form very good and has won on rain affected going (watching at this stage)
Tips – (1) Leonurus, (2) Mr Splinters, (7) Sayers, (3) Blutigeroo
Race 5
Hard race again…. Plenty on this card…. (2) Hunter Hermitage looks a good e/way chance although his current price is a little short for my thoughts, but does like track and distance and is a front runner and from barrier 11 will help – as long as he doesn’t spend too may pennies. (8) Ali Benbara is a chance to improve here in the wet, while (1) Gold Wells has the class figure in the finish
Tips – (2) Hunter Hermitage, (8) Ali Benbara, (1) Gold Wells
Race 6
(3) Scopari is entitled for one bad run. (1) Out of options is capable of turning it around on the wet and has been freshened since last (bad) run in May. (5) Bust Up is the next best of a bad bunch…
Tips – (3) Scopari, (1) Out of Options, (5) Bust Up
Race 7
(2) Saladare has claim, likes the track and does like the distance, will run well. (3) Bella Jinsky ran on well last start and has things in her favour. (5) Apolina looks a nice horse, although harder class than she’s use to will like the going and distance no problem. (8) Mixty Motion is a watcher as well
Tips – (2) Saladare, (3) Bella Jinsky, (5) Apolina, (8) Mixty Motion
Race 8
Not for me….. but…. Maybe (3) Tillakea on big win in soft first start. (5) Much as good credentials for wet and good stable. (15) Emilydelago is worth another chance
Tips - (3) Tillakea, (5) Much, (15) Emilydelago
Good Luck
Yours in Punting
