David Shortte’s Friday Mandurah Preview

Posted on | Posted by David Shortte

Meeting Overview

A challenging 10 race program with most races throwing up multiple winning hopes.

The high grade races of the night are race 6 the Free For All over 488 metres where Trainer David Hobby has four of the key chances, and race 7 the Free For All over 400 metres where there is form galore.

Best Bets

Race 2 No.8 BLOSSOMING FUN

Capable short course performer who has been placed at 3 of her last 6 starts and a couple of those times in the sub 17.40 range would probably be good enough to nick this. Doesn’t have a great box 8 record but has run a swift 17.24 from box 7 and that is a strong benchmark for a race of this nature.

Race 6 No.3 JAFFA’S MONELLI

Came from box six in a similar race two weeks ago when able to sit handy and defeat the very talented Just A Piastri here over 488 metres in a Best Of Night time of 27.38. Meets some very talented kennel mates but they are all drawn wide in boxes they have never won from while Jaffa’s has the inside advantage. His last two starts from box three have seen a win over 400 metres in 22.62 and a 2nd over 488 metres behind Tarawi Lock so he should be comfortable from the draw. Has opened up with TABtouch at $3.80 on the Fixed Odds and that looked a fair price for an in form sprinter. The main danger looks to be Sunset Clarice in box 6 and I will be playing these two in my novelty bets.

Race 8 No.3 TELLING TALES

In form short course performer who has led at her last four starts and her recent 17.11 victory was hot. Makes her own luck up front and capable of rolling to the top and giving them something to chase. Has an excellent record this track and distance and looms as a great each way bet at the $5 on offer on the Fixed Odds with TABtouch.
