Dogs

David Shortte’s Friday Mandurah Preview

Posted on | Posted by David Shortte

Meeting Overview

A solid 10 race program at the coastal circuit and while there is no feature event, the Free For All’s over 400 metres and 488 metres are full of intrigue, and last week’s Canning Show Cup winner Just A Bindi draws inside in a Mixed Grade 4/5 over 652 metres.

I am teaming up with a few dogs that look to get kind speed maps tonight.

Best Bets

MULTI : 2-3 FOXY SIN win in to 8-3 CANYA CAVIAR win : Foxy Sin drops in grade and looks to get her opportunity to land on top of the speed in this event. I was going to make her a special on her own but she has been smashed in early markets firming from $2.15 in to $1.85 so I will take her as a leg of a multi and roll her in to Canya Caviar who returns from a 6 week break here. Canya Caviar gets a lovely run early with Rambo’s Shout heading to the fence and in two of her last 3 starts here over 488 metres she has run the times of 27.12 and 27.17. I respect the unbeaten Bing Bing Rocket who looks the logical Quinella play but I think from the respective draws it is clear advantage to Canya Caviar.

4-3 RIPPIN’ RASPUTIN : A winner at three of her seven career starts and has delivered from a variety of different box draws. Having her first look here over 300 metres but generally a nippy beginner and strikes a race with moderate beginners drawn inside her and a dog that can use a bit of the track in box four. With a clean getaway should take all of the beating and at the $3.40 I am happy to play.

7-1 RIGATONI MONELLI : Versatile canine who has been racing well in top grade races without much luck in recent times and the drop back to a Mixed Grade 4/5 is the key here. Also comes up with the coveted box one advantage. Loves inside box draws having had 16 starts from boxes 1 and 2 for 8 wins and 6 placings. Last time he had box one he was a winner here over the 400 metres in a tougher race in a slick 22.44. Will be hard to hold out here.

QUADDIE : 124 – 134 – 1356 – 3. $10 spend = 27.77%
