Swan Hill, Sunday 19 January

Form Analysis by Rob Auber

Race 1:

 

OVERVIEW: DOOO DONT THINK (7) is racing very well and worked to the lead last start and gave nothing else a chance. Hard to beat again. ROYLE BLOOD (4) racing with great zest and savaged the line last start with plenty in reserve. A major threat. METRO MEMORY (9) is working back into form and was doing his best work last start. On the up and can fight out the finish. SIR VINCENT (11) nice effort last start when covering extra ground out wide and battled on strongly. Tough draw to overcome here but can’t be ignored.  TERRORROAN (10) was sneaking up behind them last start without being extended. Always a chance with a suitable trip. THELONGROADNOWHERE (8) did too much work last start but ran on well late at his prior run. Awkward draw here but if some late openings come his way he will be running on late. BETTER BLUE BOYS (6) does possess early speed, fitter and can improve.

 

EARLY SPEED: 4,6,7

SELECTIONS: DOOO DONT THINK (7) ROYLE BLOOD (4) METRO MEMORY (9) SIR VINCENT (11)

RATINGS: 7/ 4/ 9/ 11/ 10/ 8/ 6

SUGGESTED BET: Box Trifecta 4,7,9,10,11

 

Race 2:

 

OVERVIEW: HERAKLES (9) good effort to win last start by leading throughout for a narrow win. Trails through nicely here and should be well poised and expect him to be running on strongly. FEEL THE REIGN (1) drawn ideally to be in striking range and going better than his figure form suggests. A major threat. EMJAYBEE (3) does have early speed and can be a big improver. Stable in great form, must include. RISE ABOVE ALL (4) capable pacer when right and strips fitter. Drawn to race handy, don’t ignore. IVANA BYTHESEASIDE (2) a fast beginner suited by the sprint trip and can give a sight. JAMES GARNER (5) CEE CEE IN AMERICA (7) SPORTING RAGE (8) all have good ability but face tricky draws and just need some luck to make their presence felt.

 

EARLY SPEED: 1,2,3,4

SELECTIONS: HERAKLES (9) FEEL THE REIGN (1) EMJAYBEE (3) RISE ABOVE ALL (4)

RATINGS: 9/ 1/ 3/ 4/ 2/ 5/ 7/ 8

SUGGESTED BET: Box Quinella 1,3,4,9

 

Race 3:

 

OVERVIEW: FLAMING LUCKY (8) is a consistent pacer that is never too far away and draws to get a soft trip along the pegs and if the breaks come his way, he will be storming home late. Stable mate THE REGULATOR (6) can improve his figure form here and looks suited and can figure in the finish. NO EMOTION (9) is going well and should get a nice run from the second row draw and is one of the main winning chances. COURTS BLISS (1) drawn ideally and does have gate speed and should be in this for a long way whilst IMPETUOSO (2) has claims.

 

EARLY SPEED: 1,2

SELECTIONS: FLAMING LUCKY (8) THE REGULATOR (6) NO EMOTION (9) COURTS BLISS (1)

Race 4:

 

OVERVIEW: TAP TO PAY (5) has chased home stronger company in recent starts and looks ideally placed here. Expect a big showing and should prove hard to hold out. OBSYDIAN (1) gets his best draw in recent times and hasn’t been far away. Should be well placed and gets every chance to break his maiden status. CAPTAINS DREAM (4) has been finishing around the placings in recent times and strikes a suitable race to be amongst these and is one of the chances. ALIENFROMARMSTRONG (3) placed last start and from a similar draw can place again here. JOLEANER (8) drawn to get a soft trip along the pegs and is a place and first four chance.

Race 5:

 

OVERVIEW: STARZINHEREYES (8) finished off very powerfully to win last start and racing with great zest Stable in form and hard to hold out. WARRIORESS (6) nice run first up against some promising pacers last start and looks well placed here to be fighting out the finish. COMMUNTY ART (5) not far away when first up and will strip fitter. Can run well again. ROBLEN RANGER (1) speedy type that will be prominent and be in this for a long way. MAGIC MATTY (2) OZZIE DAYBREAK (4) BARACK ENOBRAC (7) all have ability and has place claims whilst RUBBLEONTHEDOUBLE (3) is a first four hope.

Race 6:

 

OVERVIEW: MONTANA PRIDE (4) performed well below his best last start and his prior form was solid for a race of this class. At his best, he’s a strong winning chance. TOORAM DANNY (6) good effort to win at his race debut and can measure up again here. Expect a good showing. LOVE WATCH (8) has shown ability in the past and will strip fitter after two runs back from a spell. Capable of improving here. JILLIBY TYPHOON (7) draws wide but has raced against stronger opposition and must be respected.

Race 7:

 

OVERVIEW: STRAIGHT TO THE TOP (4) racing in great form for talented trainer Cameron Maggs and expect another big showing here. MAORIS RETURN (3) has been bursting to win another race and looks well placed here to be fighting out the finish. One of the main chances. DONA AMALIA (2) resumes here and does have ability but unplaced at her only stand attempt. Capable of running well fresh. MIDNIGHT EAGLE (6) will strip fitter for his first up run and talented when right. Stable in form and expect improvement. ROBBINMEMATES (7) back to winning form last start off a similar handicap. Must be respected again. SHIELD MAIDEN (1) 10yo that is never far away and with the advantage of the handicaps in her favour she has place claims. GET LUCKY (5) first up and might run well fresh. Don’t ignore.
