Trots

Matt Young’s Friday Albany Preview

Posted on | Posted by Matt Young

Race 1

SEMINOLE JUNIOR (2) ideally drawn and had no luck last time out, has been flying under the radar a bit this preparation and looks to have found the perfect race, should get the job done in this. ON GOLDEN ROAD (1) has the nice draw again and looks a decent place chance from there. FLYING EMBERS (3) could improve, trials were sound and this grade suits. MICKEY BE SWIFT (7) nicely drawn and should be respected as a novelty chance. TOP SHELF JAMIESON (5) could be an improver.

Tips: 2 1 3 7

Suggested Bet: SEMINOLE JUNIOR/ON GOLDEN ROAD to Exacta.

Race 2

OFFICIAL ROCK (10) how do you go past a horse who is flying like she is, wonderful win last time out and collectively this is much easier, she is a sit and sprint type and should get the job done but she will likely be well identified in the market. ROCKY MAGUIRE (5) looks a big improver in this, has the nice draw to get forward and could lead, will give them something to catch. THE KHUKRI (7) just needs a touch of luck but is going well, novelty chance with the returning UP AND ALIVE (9) who has shown decent promise. WORLD COMBINATION (3) next best.

Tips: 10 5 7 9

Suggested Bet: ROCKY MAGUIRE/OFFICIAL ROCK to Quinella.

Race 3

LORD TITANIUM (8) was back to his better form last time out after being in the wilderness since returning, he can carry that on and looks hard to beat even if he had to do some work in this race. REBLINE (10) is dropping from strong mares’ company and must be respected as a strong closing type. TUBBS FARQUHAR (4) and THOMSON BAY (5) both good on speed types with the latter having more strings to his bow. THE BEACH MASTER (9) might need a run or so but has the talent and so does DEL BOCAVISTA BAY (7) but his last couple have been well below his best.

Tips: 8 10 5 4

Suggested Bet: LORD TITANIUM (8) to win.

Race 4

IM ROCKIN ROD (3) is better suited here and has good early speed, could ping around and get to the top and then from there becomes the one to beat. THE RIGHTEOUS (2) is racing well and this class suits but the early speed has always been a concern from him. MY GRAND ANGUS (4) can do work in his races and likely up outside the speed and will stick on. GOTA GOOD WARHOL (7) doesn’t know how to run a bad race but needs luck from the draw. TUX AND TAILS (9) is ready to run a big race and he is a get forward horse so expect him to move into it at some stage and TROIS FONTAINE (10) is capable, but she may need this run after a break.

Tips: 3 2 9 4

Suggested Bet: IM ROCKIN ROD (3) to win.

Race 5

ECLIPSE LINE (6) should be driven like the best horse in the race and be able to get the win here but won’t be a terrific price, should be winning. NORTHERN SOUL (1) has shown improvement, barrier draw could be a concern as he can get flighty but with a safe start, he will provide good novelty contention with stablemates SNAKEY BAY (8) and REDDY TO FLY (9). WELLOILED (4) a novelty chance.

Tips: 6 1 9 8

Suggested Bet: REDDY TO FLY (9) to place.

Race 6

JUST A PET (7) has the perfect draw following the likely leader and looks hard to hold out with a sprint lane in place, his last few runs have been decent and looks a major player in this. DEKLA DIVA (1) copped it from all angles last time out and cracked, prior form had been solid enough to give them something to catch. ZIGGY VERMEER (3) is suited in this grade and expect a bold performance first up for the new stable. BLIND EDITION (4) is going well but it’s a tricky draw and his gate speed can be a bit hit and miss. SAVE THIS DANCE (8) is capable, hoping for an each way price to have him as a saver in an open race.

Tips: 7 1 3 8

Suggested Bet: JUST A PET (7) each way.

Race 7

HES THUNDER (3) is a strong chance to push forward and could potentially work his way to the top, he is a grinding type who will just wear them down and looks hard to beat. LIQUIDATOR (1) holds the key to the race, nice effort last start but she is a horse who cannot absorb too much pressure and has options, middle distance is not as preferred but her last run was solid, so she holds the race in her hands. LIGHTFOOT LEIGH (8) will be hoping she leads as he becomes a strong chance map wise and will be dangerous either way. FUNKY MUSIC (2) is improving and is a novelty chance with KOLISI (9) and FOLLOW THE MUSIC (10).

Tips: 3 8 1 9

Suggested Bet: LIGHTFOOT LEIGH (8) each way.

Race 8

NEVERTELLMETHEODDS (7) wasn’t a bad effort last run racing outside of his grade, has a nice trailing draw here following the likely leader and could be dangerous late, looks a chance. HEAVENLY BLISS (1) was better in her most recent effort, looks the leader and can win. SPEED FORCE (10) has had to do it tough as of late and will require some work here but is up to the task. SECOND AMENDMENT (6) is capable, but the draw is tricky. THEJEWELINHEREYE (8) is a novelty chance from the draw.

Tips: 7 1 10 6

Suggested Bet: NEVERTELLMETHEODDS (7) each way.
