Tips and race-by-race guide for Sapphire Coast on Monday
Neil Evans
Follow good 4 and remove 3m rail from 800m to WP.
Race 1
6. Hunter One She is an improving state-based filly who can step up and go back-to-back in her third start. In his first appearance since the spring, he returned home with his first win. To move up in class, he drops to the limit weight and pulls out for a relaxed run just off the pace. 2. Şahin Gold He is a progressive three-year-old Canberra boy who has risen in class shooting for a third win from four starts in these preparations. 1. Sooooo Crazy A talented four-year-old and a great market observer continues with a handy trial win. 5. Eternal Ember He won two out of three in his first campaign and picks up where he left off after two quiet Kembla trials. lightly raced 4.EltrumHe improves sharply in only his third start, albeit to much greater proportions.
How to play: Hunter One will win.
Race 2
3. Give Pleasure She is a progressive Canberra mare who can go on with a bang and increase her winning strike rate to an impressive 50 per cent from eight starts. I swept them off their feet to win Class 2 before I was caught late moving into this class. Then, while completing his preparations last spring, he was quickly outpaced and lost by half a length to similar opposition. It hasn’t been publicly tested, but things went well and it arrived quickly. 8. Christmas Star a home fielder who rarely has a bad run and performed well on the back of the dominant BM 66 winner here last time out. 4. Dissolve Another Canberra visitor who found an easier race in second place. 10.Zoutempus After two wins in a row at a weaker country level and failing to finish the race with a tougher draw in the provincial company, he might be able to settle in better here. 1. Doogan’s Design He falls off in his sophomore year but still tries his best. Be careful with money first 5. Caravanserai We’re coming back from a soft hearing.
How to play: Enjoy winning.
race 3
2. Quick Step a four-year-old who is honest and continues to improve. He was at his best in the second round at Albury in the spring and returned with a weak maiden likely to be dominated by Canberra’s gallopers. He has a 40 percent record in the standings from 13 starts. 9. Stormy Reign He showed versatility in finding the second line returning from a spell and is doing well at the weights after the jockey’s claim. 7. Master Woman A race with little or no depth could improve sharply by continuing on to a much larger track. Track bets 6. Zee RankingA Tassort mare is making her first start at a poorly rated country stable after a handy trial. Space with the rest.
How to play: Step quickly to win.
Race 4
3. Star Twinkle Since a fast-finishing and dominant Grade 2 win here, he has generally been in and around the money in the deeper BM 58s. He will likely return from the outside gate, but is a strong finisher with a class advantage in an open but thinner lineup. 7. Transcend Success Any chance of promotion from a handy third win in the underdog class is over. 2. Fire and Gemstone, beating out the top pick here six weeks ago; 6. It evokessecond place from a good draw; And 9. I Doubt ItThe trio is very suitable and can add value to the top four.
How to play: Star Bling will win.
race 5
8. Casino Shaw She is a consistent South Coast mare who has finished in the top three in another open and restricted race. It’s come a long way since supporting from $2.70 to $2.15 as it continues in a handy Grade 1 before going close again in a similar race. Now the peaks are much further ahead. 2. Walk on the Pier He finished well in first place in Class 2 company and despite a wide draw he is capable of running over them at this distance. 3. Cossack Warrior He beat all but the winner in three runs after the break and rolled forward again and quickly pulled away to park. 7. Miss Dipper She is a sparingly racing mare placed in her last pair while a Victorian visitor. 1. Villa Seventy Nine When the glasses are reattached, they fall into the fourth class, but remain under a great weight due to a large pull.
How to play: Casino Shaw to win.
race 6
1. Hold My Drink He is a four-year-old progressive state-bred who is poised to take second place after a long time, especially with one of his main market rivals being favored at Sunday’s Gundagai meeting. Here he followed the pace before narrowly missing, and being naturally fitter, he could take the lead with another useful trailing drive. 4. Start He was in close quarters with two competent maidens before putting in a poor effort on this track last time. 7. Bikini Girl She is a state-based mare by Sandbar who made her debut after a fair trial.
How to play: Hold My Drink to Win.
race 7
8. Go Commando The lightly raced three-year-old Canberran is well placed to move into third in another open battle. A smarter BM 58 saw a decent amount of secondary development and the addition of blinkers was timely. I was picked up from Gundagai on Sunday to run here. 9. Inchyra He is a threat after finishing in the best way to get his virgin here after a long time. 12. Ciao Bella Mia continues from the inside barrier of a handy state hearing. 1. Bon Behind You He moves back into the class and is knocking on the door after three runs in the deeper races in Victoria, but he needs to carry a big load like his stablemate at the start of the programme. 3. Shyamalan A very weak BM took its 3rd victory in 58.
How to play: Go Commando to win.
