The Meadows Race 8

The first thing I find is that #2 BLU PIE GIRL is a quick beginner and tends to head to the rails.
This gives the animal immediately outside it, a clear run to the 1st turn.
But she has an ordinary record at The Meadows and can't rate her using her Excellent Sandown Form.Its sort of a horses for courses thing.
#3 COUNT CORRECT probably ain't good enough to take the advantage and win today.
#1 PURE THIRST weakened badly last start, but I'll give it another Chance.It shouldn't be hampered by the #2, because it also tends to shift inwards.
#4 REALLY SWEET looks like it will get a lovely run behind the leaders and will be too strong today.

The MARKET

4 REALLY SWEET $4.5
1 PURE THIRST $4.8
7 SPIRAL SIREN $7.5
8 JEBRYNAH'S PRIDE $8
6 BLACK ZAC $8.5
2 BLU PIE GIRL $9
3 COUNT CORRECT $14
5 PAPER PENNY $50

Being so Open, The EXACTA is the way to go here.
I prefer the EXACTA over the QUINELLA because my top 2 selections are preferred over the rest of the Field and I expect at least one of them to figure in the first two.

4,1 - 4,1 for $2.50

LESSON Number 1
Something to note in your studies.
If an animal produced an extraordinary effort in its History when it led, it is very unlikely to reproduce that effort unless it leads.

The study starts with EL GALO
Those that know, say that it can improve on last weeks effort.
I suggest not to get too carried away with his Racing Record.
This is a VERY Good Field.
He really needs to ping to clear some mighty quick acceleration inside him.
It does look a little as though the 4 inside runners could cause themselves to tire early and allow something from behind to overwhelm them at the finish.

TAIPAN BALE blew the start last week but came home very well after being held up for much of the Race.
With the slow beginners outside him, will be well up there and if there is any sort of interference inside early, could easily set up a Race winning lead.

I came up with this

4 EL GALO $3.5
1 GARDAM PRINCE $5
5 TAIPAN BALE $6.5
6 FIDEL BALE $8
3 REMO RUBIK $10
7 FEDEX $16
2 HANIFY'S IMPACT $20
8 DANCING LIGHTS $33

Because I think EL GALO will start Under the Odds and because it is so Open, I'm going for the QUINELLA.

QUINELLAS
1 - 4 $5.50
4 - 5 for $4
4 - 6 for $3
1 - 5 for $3
3 - 4 for $2.50
1 - 6 for $2

Total Cost $20

OUT $39
IN $17.85
LOT minus 54%
BANK $1978.85

LESSON Number 2
It is very,very hard to run down a good dog once it has found the lead.

There is a Vacant Box 7 so I start looking to see if it can assist any animals either side of it.
#6 RENOVATING is a slowish beginner so the Vacant Box won't assist it to get up near the lead.
#8 ESKIMO MAGGIE would probably lead this Field even without the vacant Box inside her.
The two inside Boxes also have good early speed and will be up amongst it.

8 ESKIMO MAGGIE $2.8
1 RONCHI $3
2 SANGAKKARA $8.5

LESSON Number 3
If you can't find any excuse for poor current Form, then that IS its current Form

WANGARATTA Race 8

#2 EMOTIONAL WAVE led all the way here last start in good time.
It really pinged out but I doubt it can get out that quick again.
I see GREY CHERRY from the cherry leading all the way.
But I can't find the Placegetters, so the Bet is GREY CHERRY straight out.

The actual wager depends on the Odds available.
I wish a Profit of $40
I'm looking for Even Money for my Maximum $40 Investment.
The Minimum wager will be $20.
The idea is to get the Bank Back in the Black.

#1 JUST EILEEN jumps out well and leads all the way
#2 TORNADO MAN gets behind her, but a fair way behind, but by hugging the rails, it comes home hard to perhaps win.

I can't split these two and a QUINELLA is the go here.

QUINELLA 1 - 2 for $10

Hopefully it pays over $3 but These are very popular Numbers

OUCH

LESSON Number 4
Study very closely when an animal is attempting a distance outside its Range for the first time.
