Soft 5 writing this but it’s a 32’c day and expecting it all to dry out. This is a very tricky track to play at – the first turn over 1200m comes up quickly so being caught wide early is not a good thing. Mount Gambier Race 4 – 1800m – BM74 1. Sebonna: Won…

Morphetville Race 2 – BM66 – 1300m 1. Predetermined: Led in Class 1 at Sandown four back and pushed a top tempo and fell in a hole late going way too fast. Two runs this prep over shorter distances have gone close but found one too good both runs. Data wise has been -1.7 and…

Morpehtville Race 4 – 1250m – BM-68 1. Lady Dunmore: Won two of last three. Performs best when on speed. Has a solid final 400m sprint in the legs if they go slow out front but also can finish off well off a hot speed. Likely leader in a race devoid of speed runners.2. Fighting…

An on speed type of runner that has Won in Group 2 and Group 1 grade along with further placings in Group 1s on Heavy tracks. Acts best around 1400m range on recent preps form. He landed in Australia with a Timeform rating of 115. A mark that would be respectable going towards most of…

Moonee Valley Race 9 – 2040m – Group 1 Cox Plate 1. Zaaki: Hasn’t led in any start down under since arriving but has sat OSL with genuine speeds set. If Callsign Mav kicks up and the tempo isn’t true, may take over from the 1600m. Or they may just elect to lead. Will want…
