Trots

Matt Young’s Friday Gloucester Park Preview

Posted on | Posted by Matt Young

Race 1

CAPTAIN SAID SO (12) is knocking on the door, his last couple have bounced back to some better form and looks hard to hold out, will punch through and lob handy and then be dangerous late. SISTER CHERIE (5) has good early speed and is a big chance to lead, will give them something to catch. CIGANDA (3) is racing well, has some early speed and will look for a forward spot. CLASSICAL ELLIE (1) has returned nicely and will be close enough to earn. LOU LAMOUR (7) needs luck from the draw with VINITA ROSE (8) who did it tough last time out and INTO THE FUTURE (10) is a top 4 player from the rail.

Tips: 12 5 1 3

Suggested Bet: CAPTAIN SAID SO (12) to win.

Race 2

ISEEUBABY (3) was out of this world with her times in her most recent victory against free for all mares, has good early speed and looks hard to beat but steps to the middle distance which has been a bit of kryptonite for her, hard to go against. BEETASTIC (2) has the speed to lead early and has options but should get a lovely run and looks the logical danger. Pace will be genuine and suit MY HAMMER DOWN (10) who will likely be four the pegs, will run home powerfully. SHES A TINY DANCER (1) is a novelty chance from the draw but could be a bit hot for her. MIKIS PRIDE (9), PRINCE OF TRIBECA (5) and MAGIC CAPTAIN (7) all top 4 players.

Tips: 3 2 10 1

Suggested Bet: MY HAMMER DOWN (10) to place.

Race 3

FRANCO ENCORE (5) has brilliant early speed and could cross them on return, strong performer who will go well fresh and looks a major player, especially if he leads. CHASE ME (3) is fitter for the first up performance and is the one to beat if he can lead but have concerns over that. HUGOTASTIC (7) requires some luck but was brilliant with his closing sectionals last time out. KOOJAN (2) a top 4 player with some early speed but THE WAND WAVER (1) can hold it if she so desires but rises in grade noticeably. SOHO MOONRAKER (12) will be running on from the back of the field, could fly under the radar here. CHACO EAGLE (8) racing well but faces a challenging draw.

Tips: 5 7 3 12

Suggested Bet: FRANCO ENCORE (5) to win.

Race 4

DELIGHTFUL PEG (1) has the perfect draw, found it tough working three wide chasing Iseeubaby’s brilliant mile last time out, much better suited leading even in this company, hard to beat. MAXIMUM ROCK (10) is flying and has the perfect draw and must be respected as a chance if he gets clear. FAKENIT (2) drawn to be close enough and has been racing soundly, MIGHTY RONALDO (12) comes in fresh but is up to these, will be driven for one run and build off that. SWEET PINS (6) is flying but faces a tricky draw and novelty chance to BETTORS PRIDE (11).

Tips: 1 10 12 2

Suggested Bet: DELIGHTFUL PEG (1) to win.

Race 5

SKINNY DIPPIN (6) has the draw advantage over her main rival and will be driven to look for the top here, she is a previous winner over the longer distance and is a talented type who looks very hard to beat. MISS LEOPATRA (10) gets the worst draw they could hope for with a mobile type of filly who likes to get out and running, Gary Hall Jnr goes aboard and will need some magic from there but profiles like a horse who will get the distance no worries and will be hard to hold out late. MANUKA BAY (11) and A PRECIOUS GEM (12) will both be running on well, their draws are both suited to their styles and will get home and be novelty chances to outside hopes. SOVEREIGN JEWEL (1) nicely drawn and will be close enough to earn. IMA BOOTY SHAKER (5) a novelty chance with MAAS ATTACK (9).

Tips: 6 10 11 1

Suggested Bet: SKINNY DIPPIN (6) to win.

Race 6

SUGA (8) was solid in her return run and must overcome a wide draw but has the high speed to overcome, looks likely to get the distance and is heading in the right direction for a lightly raced type. MISS BEJEWELED (1) gets the good draw, will likely lead this and distance is a query, but form has been good. BET IM HOT (12) has improved nicely since taking on open fillies in recent runs, should get home nicely again. THE SEA SIREN (10) is a novelty chance hugging the rails and LIVY ANN (11) is not without novelty claims. KATAMA (2) proving hard to catch with MA PETITE DAME (5) racing better than numerical form suggests. INSURGENCY (6) comes in fresh which isn’t ideal but has shown promise.

Tips: 8 1 12 10

Suggested Bet: SUGA (8) to win.

Race 7

IM STEALTHY (1) ideally drawn again and looks incredibly hard to run down, did what he had to do last run and looks to do that again here. HAVTIMEFORMIKI (6) is a real talent and faces a difficult draw, but he is a real versatile horse who’s turn of foot will bring him into it late. D MAC (4) looking to bounce back but may have to do the work again. TEXAS BANNER (2) trialled well and will get a good run, will get a good gauge of where he’s at. PROPOSITION JOE (3) drawn to be close enough and a novelty chance again. Hard to suggest others.

Tips: 1 6 4 2

Suggested Bet: IM STEALTHY/HAVTIMEFORMIKI to Exacta.

Race 8

EASTBRO CHRISSY (1) couldn’t have asked for a better draw and should boot through, lead and most likely win as she can lead and control the race. SUGAR DELIGHT (10) ideally drawn and can follow the speed and earn strongly in this. WAVE REBELLION (3) has been flying in races that haven’t been run to suit she has still found a way to win and or nearly win, will be running on again. UP AND ALIVE (4) racing well and can run the gate and be on speed, should be around the mark on current form. LUCKY COPY (2) a top four player with DELULU (8).

Tips: 1 10 3 4

Suggested Bet: SUGAR DELIGHT (10) to place.

Race 9

Good race upcoming. FRANCO MOTU (9) was good on his return run and shows that he has come back well which he didn’t do last time in, he’s a real winner and will look to keep the advantage and run well. WE WALK BY FAITH (11) is talented but faces a challenging handicap, will be a good test for him. Loved the trial and first up effort of TIGER ROYAL (8) and think he’s a real chance to swoop home strongly. SEASIDE POND (1) has seen all wins in his career come from a stand, could be an improver in this. ALTA TRIBUTE (12) capable but 60m is never an easy task.

Tips: 9 11 8 1

Suggested Bet: TIGER ROYAL (8) each way.

Race 10

SEAGRASS (1) has taken a few runs to find her best form and looks to be ready to run a big race here, has the draw and speed to lead and will be hard to beat. STAR OF ORION (10) is ideally drawn and a winning chance with the gaps opening at the right time. MARTYR (5) will run the gate but gets a bit fiery. OFFICIAL ROCK (3) is capable and comes in fresh, has been racing soundly and building with every run. IDEAL INTEREST (11) is a novelty chance from the draw. ALWAYS CHANGIN (6) racing well but needs some luck from the draw with SUN PUBLISHER (8) and COLD HARD CASH (9).

Tips: 1 19 3 6

Suggested Bet: STAR OF ORION (10) each way.
