Greg Hooper’s Preview

RACE 1

Just the four runners to face the starter. GET THE VIBE should find herself in front and dictating the speed she gets every chance for back to back wins. DANES MAREE the clear danger off an impressive first-up display.

Numbers – 3 – 4 – 1 -5

Suggested Bet – GET THE VIBE WIN

RACE 2

ELEGANT BLAST was well supported in betting at her most recent where she suffered a nasty fall in running. She’s trialled well since and with Pike jumping on looks the clear testing material. TONKATUFF was big winner two back before he was forced to race without cover and battled on solidly. Suspect he will be ridden much quieter from a wide gate and show a big turn of foot. KEY TO FAME finds it hard to win. He sits on the speed and keeps whacking away. FORSEEN leads and will appreciate the drop back to 1400m.

Numbers – 9 – 6 – 1 – 5

Suggested Bet – ELEGANT BLAST AND TONKATUFF

RACE 3

ROYAL MISSILE never really got warm first-up. She should improve off that run and really appreciate the rise to 1400m. She just needs room to move from an inside draw to be hard to hold out. DELANEY is very talented. The query is the rise from 1000m – 1400m. ONE SHORT impressed first-up at Albany. He can box seat and be dangerous. WRINKLY can carve over to lead and give a sight.

Numbers – 3 – 7 – 2 – 1

Suggested Bet  – ROYAL MISSILE WIN

RACE 4

MR MOTOWN has returned in good form this campaign. He should be able to tuck in behind a strong speed and go close. REMEMBER BERLIN drops from 1200m to 1000m which is a query however from gate 2 he can lead or box seat. DISTANT MEMORY with the class and distance drop. BELLS TOWER gives a sight on speed.

Numbers –  1 – 4 – 3 – 7

Suggested Bet – MR MOTOWN AND REMEMBER BERLIN

RACE 5

MINUS LOOKS is a fairly classy type when on song. The rise to a mile is a query however on paper this could become a sit and sprint affair in which could give him the advantage. BOLLYWOOD BLITZ was a dominant fresh winner before having his turn of footed blunted in a fast run race last week. Back in class and off a softer tempo he goes well.  PUSH TO PASS is always capable at this level and finds the strongly. CHECKERS should get a nice run on the speed.

Suggested – 9 – 3 – 5 – 8

Suggested Bet –  MINUS LOOKS AND BOLLYWOOD BLITZ

RACE 6

VARIATION is a class above these and he should be too strong. He showed last start his ability to tough it out on the speed and he looks likely to get the tow right behind the leader, CORPORATE LARRIKIN, and be able to see off the challengers. CORPORATE LARRIKIN is always dangerous when leading and controlling. The drop back to 1400m is ideal. RED ORA will love the drop in class. SETTLERS CREEK next best.

Numbers –  6 – 4 – 1 – 5

Suggested Bet – VARIATION WIN

SuperPick - Race 6 No. 6 VARIATION - Profit Plus – 25% (Win)

RACE 7

Take the top two out of this race and it is the type of field you’d expect to see at a provincial meeting. The 3200m makes it a bit trickier however impossible to tip against the class horses DARK ALERT and ZARANTZ. SUNSET SUPERMAN is a one batter who might be able grind away into the first-four. CHILL THE CHAMPERS could be the leader.

Numbers – 2 – 1 – 8 – 3

Suggested Bet – DARK ALERT WIN

RACE 8

Wide open sprint to finish the day. CONSEATED look almost not interested last start when she was unable to position up near the speed. Expect her to race much prominently and improve sharply. PROFIT STREET is capable of pulling out a big fresh run. MAJINIKA always has claims at this level. DAINTY TESS next best.

Numbers –  7 – 2 – 1 – 3

Suggested Bet – CONSEATED WIN
