Trots

Matt Young’s Friday Northam Preview

Race 1

IM SPUD (2) has the nice draw and should settle close enough to the speed, looks a strong chance in this grade and there are a few ways he can win. MONTERIO (5) is capable but can mix his form, likely to head forward and would love to lead. ATHREESHOTEAGLE (1) ideally drawn on return, has shown glimpses of ability last preparation and must be respected with Dean Miller. STAR OF THE GALAXY (7) returns and has the soft draw. NINETY MILE BEACH (3) has shown promise but still has a few tricks. ROCKNROLL JEWEL (9) will be running on well.

Tips: 2 1 5 9

Suggested Bet: IM SPUD (2) to win.


Race 2

LUZIA (5) has the draw advantage over some of the main rivals and can head forward and be a chance to lead, likely improver in this grade and will go well. ROCKSTAR QUALITY (8) third up into the preparation and will be suited in this grade, expect him to run home strongly. CHIEF COPY (7) faces a tricky draw, but the grade is suitable and will be looking to be put into the event at some stage. TELL ITIN HEAVEN (1) will appreciate the draw and settle close enough and comes in with place claims. WELLOILED (4) and GINNIVAN (6) novelty chances.

Tips: 5 8 7 1

Suggested Bet: LUZIA (5) to win.


Race 3 (Best Bet)

GALVINSTON JOHN (4) will be aggressive and looking for the top in this, luckless last run and prior performances were full of merit, represents a drop in grade and should run a big race. BATAVIA WEST (1) has the speed to hold them early and get the soft run and is on the improve with a better last run. DEKLA DIVA (5) made it three in a row last start but was unconvincing with that win, she won from the breeze at this track two starts ago and may have to do so again, will be thereabouts. GOODONYA MATE (7) ideal draw and comes in with novelty claims with CHARLI BROWN (10) and LIQUIDATOR (8).

Tips: 4 1 7 5

Suggested Bet: GALVINSTON JOHN (4) to win.


Race 4

AMERICAN MONARCH (5) is ready to win, happy to wipe the run in the lightning lap, nothing went right and she didn’t appear to appreciate the concept and think she can bounce back in this. HURRICANEHOPE (4) is racing well and showing great versatility, respect in this as a chance, likely to head forward but unlikely to find the lead with IL BANDITO (1) in the prime position, might be given his chance as he has the speed to lead. APOLOGIZE (6) faces a tricky draw but has the high speed to come from anywhere and be dangerous. STELLA MAJOR (8) and ALWAYSBFRANK (10) both chances with a few things going right.

Tips: 5 4 6 1

Suggested Bet: AMERICAN MONARCH (5) to win.


Race 5

Could be some tempo on in this. CHERRY ON THE CAKE (5) will be aggressive and is a strong chance to find the top and keep on rolling, will go well here. EYE BETTER (4) is ready to win but unlikely to get too involved with an early battle, should settle close enough and be dangerous. NORTHVIEW DANCE (9) was better in his most recent run and is on the improve, respect. ZLATO (10) is consistent, but this isn’t a walk in the park. SHES A MARE (3) needs to be cuddled up and finds it hard to do it at both ends these days. DIAMONDSAREFOREVER (7) returns from a soft draw but requires some luck, best is good enough. IM ROCKIN ROD (6) capable but faces a difficult draw.

Tips: 5 4 3 9

Suggested Bet: CHERRY ON THE CAKE (5) to win.


Race 6

KOH I NOOR CAMEL (4) has the draw advantage and looks hard to beat in this; she has come back well and looks ready to break through. DEFEND THE RIGHT (5) has been an improver in recent runs and this grade suits, go well. ROCKSTAR WORLD (6) could be an improver but faces the difficult draw. LIANAKA (7) comes in off a bit of a freshen up and was racing some quality fillies in recent runs, respect. MUNDI MISS (3) a novelty chance.

Tips: 4 5 7 6

Suggested Bet: KOH I NOOR CAMEL (4) to win.
