Form Analysis by Rob Auber

Race 1:

 

OVERVIEW: VULCAN STRIDE (4) is a 3yo resuming since September 2024 and joins the Mark Hayes stable. Superbly bred youngster that has been trialling well and expect a big showing. ALABAMA DELTA (7) is a 4yo mare that has had a recent change of stables and joins the talented Tori Hutchins team. A recent trial winner and could be a big improver. ALDEBARAN BUDDY (9) has had a few chances in recent times without winning but been placed at three of his past five starts. Definite claims. YOSHIDA (3) showed speed and gave a great sight last start and was just run down. Can race prominent and be in this for a long way along with CHILLHUNNYBUNNY (1) that has shown speed in the past and must be included in the box trifectas and first fours.

 

EARLY SPEED: 3,4,7

SELECTIONS: VULCAN STRIDE (4) ALABAMA DELTA (7) ALDEBARAN BUDDY (9) YOSHIDA (3)

RATINGS: 4/ 7/ 9/ 3/ 1

SUGGESTED BET: VULCAN STRIDE (4) to Win.

 

Race 2:

 

OVERVIEW: HUXHAM CHUBB (1) has ability and if she can hold up from the pole position and settle on the speed she should be in striking position. Looks suited here and should be fighting out the finish. MY GREAT EIGHT (6) is going better than his figure form reads and has been finishing just behind the placings and running on late. One of the chances despite the wide draw. WICHITA DANCE (7) has enjoyed little luck since resuming and faces another tough draw here. Very capable but the draw is challenging. NORMANDY NUGGET (2) continues to be thereabouts and was placed last start. Draws well and will get every chance. DOCTOR GO JOH (4) speedy type and should race in a prominent position can give a sight. THE REGULATOR (3) a winner three starts ago and can measure up here. Has claims.

 

EARLY SPEED: 2,4,5

SELECTIONS: HUXHAM CHUBB (1) MY GREAT EIGHT (6) WICHITA DANCE (7) NORMANDY NUGGET (2)

RATINGS: 1/ 6/ 7/ 2/ 4/ 3

SUGGESTED BET: HUXHAM CHUBB (1) to Win.

 

Race 3:

 

OVERVIEW: MARGARITARI (1) ran very well at her race debut and should be improved by her race experience. Drawn well and will get every chance. JILLIBY RYDER (7) continues to race well and is bursting to win. Can race in a forward position and is sure to make his presence felt. GOODTIME MIXNIUP (8) improving type that draws to get a soft trip and must be respected. CHAMPAGNE WALSH (4) has been making steady improvement and broke through for his maiden win last start at Mt. Gambier. Can measure up again here.  DE BEAU ROCK (5) good effort at his race debut as a 2yo and will benefit further here. Worth following. BLACK OPAL JACK (6) well-bred 2yo youngster that has won two trials to date in slow times. Drawn wide and watch with interest. FLAMING MEL (3) improving type and has place claims. OUR EYES EMOJI (10) does have ability but still learning his pacing craft. Not hopeless.

 

EARLY SPEED: 1,4,7

SELECTIONS: MARGARITARI (1) JILLIBY RYDER (7) GOODTIME MIXNIUP (8) CHAMPAGNE WALSH (4)

RATINGS: 1/ 7/ 8/ 4/ 5/ 6/ 3/ 10

SUGGESTED BET: MARGARITARI (1) to Win.

 

Race 4:

 

OVERVIEW: THE NINTH WAVE (7) having his first standing start race but racing with great zest. Providing he handles the conditions well he’s a big chance again. MYSTERY FRED (10) comes off a big handicap but does have a touch of class against most of these. Just needs to get off to a good beginning to be right in this. RASTAMON (8) racing well and is right up to this but needs a clean beginning. Must be respected. Both BROWN EYED KATE (2) and SHOW ME THE MOOLAH (9) are normally good beginners from the stand conditions and can make their presence felt. MATTYO (3) has ability but is yet to run a place from five stand attempts. Take on trust. ANIKITOS (4) going better than his figure form reads and having his first standing start race. Would not shock.

 

EARLY SPEED: 2,4

SELECTIONS: MYSTERY FRED (10) RASTAMON (8) THE NINTH WAVE (7) BROWN EYED KATE (2)

RATINGS: 10/ 8/ 7/ 2/ 9/ 4

SUGGESTED BET: MYSTERY FRED (10) to Win.

 

Race 5:

 

OVERVIEW: SPORTSBOU (2) has been racing well and will appreciate the nice draw and should be fighting out the finish. One of the main chances. KEAYANG TACO (7) speedy type that started a short price favourite last start and disappointed. Worthy of another chance and can make amends. MY LITTLE BO (8) talented filly that is resuming and will enjoy a soft trip from inside the second row and if the breaks come her way, she will be rattling home late. KEAYANG BLUE JEANS (9) finished off strongly last start for a narrow win and will be hoping for the same again here. SPORTING RAGE (1) has ability and should appreciate the pole position and will get every chance. Not out of it. NOSWEETSFORYOU (5) capable type but is struggling to win has claims.

 

EARLY SPEED: 1,2,7

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

SUGGESTED BET: SPORTSBOU (2) to Win.

 

Race 6:

 

OVERVIEW: KEAYANG GALLIANO (4) should be ready to peak after three runs back from a spell and was just behind the placegetters last start and looks well placed here. Hard to beat. Both HEZA DOOZIE (5) and HERNIE (7) came out of the same race last start and ran well. Definite chances despite the wide draws. Both MUCKINBAR DIVA (9) and TOP GUN TED (8) have second row draws but will follow through nicely and must be respected. YNOBE DAKOTA (2) has ability, strips fitter and can improve. AMERICAN ALI (10) HEAVY METAL HAMMER (3) YANKEE GAMBLER (1) HELLOVATIME (6) are all going well and can’t be dismissed.
