Gday All
Attached are my ratings for today's racing... It's Prelude day at Taree.. The winner of the prelude is exempt from ballot for the Taree Cup run in a couple of weeks.. Interesting runner in this race is the former Hawkes trained Takas, though because this is his first go at the track and has a moderate performace at the today's distance, plus the big weight and drawn the outside, and fairly ordinary form of late (though he has had big weights to carry ) I think he is a big risk.. I see that Damien has tipped him, so that will bring his price in, as well as being a well known horse.. As I said I think he is a risk... I think the mare Dancer Dancer ( she is up from a class 5 last start, but is a city winner) is a good show in this type of race, she has had one go at the trip for a win, and is one of my fav Jockey/Trainer combos in the area, Jenks is the horse on the up, he is up from a CL6 to Open company, this will surely test him, though I do like him as an honest solid galloper.. Cosmic Star should be thereabouts, not sure if this fella knows how to run a bad race... It is a good race with a few chances.. Race 8 at Taree.
Don't you love Moe on a wet day  with a maiden hurdle to start the day? Good luck if you choose to have a bet |
