Trots

Matt Young’s Friday Gloucester Park Preview

Posted on | Posted by Matt Young

Race 1

D MAC (3) has good early speed and think he will be charging to the top in this, he is a big strong horse who will punish anyone who holds him out, expecting to see him get back to the winners list in this race. EL MYSTRO (1) is highly talented, has good early speed but not sure he’d be able to hold the front, absorb the pressure and still be standing at the finish, respect the horse a lot but think his high speed his best asset at this stage. TEXAS BANNER (10) looked like he was going to place before running into bother, ideal draw and looks a novelty chance again. PROPOSITION JOE (5) racing well and can earn and AMERICAN MACHINE (9) trialled well and has the high speed to still get him into the money.

Tips: 3 1 10 5

Suggested Bet: D MAC (3) to win.

Race 2

WHATARETHEODDS (1) can mix his gate speed from inside draws but if he is able to hold the top I think he will win the event, he was solid in his comeback run and comes up with the ace in a suitable race. ART IDEAL (4) is his concern as he can fly out and look for the top, I think he’d take a sit in this grade, but it still makes the task about tougher. CAPTAIN STIRLING (11) is highly talented and drops back in grade a touch, can be put into the race and go strongly. MIKIS PRIDE (3) can be a bit hit and miss early but is racing well. OPAL HUNTER (12) is going nicely and will be the late charger in the event with SKYLORD (6) who won well on Monday. THELITTLE MASTER (10) ideally drawn for novelty purposes.

Tips: 1 11 12 3

Suggested Bet: WHATARETHEODDS (1) to win.

Race 3

BEETASTIC (1) drawn to get that good run again, looks likely to take the cover on ISEEUBABY (2) who will roll along and keep the field open but just lacks at the middle distance, therefore BEETASTIC (1) will get the last shot. DELIGHTFUL PEG (10) will need a bit of luck, but she has been well proven in this grade and will be dangerous if she sees daylight. COPY CAT QUEEN (7) could roll forward off the arm and do the chasing, she developed a lot of toughness last time in. FAKENIT (6) hit the line looking for a run last time out, should be around the mark.

Tips: 1 7 2 10

Suggested Bet: BEETASTIC (1) to win.

Race 4

FRANCO ENCORE (4) will be sizzling out looking for the top, back to a mile is suited and another run under his belt, expect him to cross quicker and be very hard to catch. SWEET PINS (7) is racing in good fashion, just needs a touch of luck but is ready to run a big race. HUGOTASTIC (10) follows out a slow beginner which is going to see him must navigate a passage from well back, looks tricky for him tonight. BETTORS PRIDE (6) is racing soundly with CAPTAIN RAVISHING (8) but both have tricky draws. BRICKIES DREAM (9) is going very well but draws the river. ELWADDELL (2) is a novelty chance at odds with other chances to GOODFELLAZ (5) and MACHNIFICENT (12).

Tips: 4 7 8 2

Suggested Bet: FRANCO ENCORE (4) to win.

Race 5

RUNKLE CRUNCH (2) is a star on the rise, he has the draw to lead with a run under his belt and I think he will serve it right up to the super star favourite in the race in CYCLONE JORDY (5) who has been undefeated since coming across to WA, how do you tip against that? He also has a run under his belt and drops 27 quarters as if they were 30 second quarters, he will be incredibly hard to hold out. BELLY UP (1) is going to be close to the speed which could be a blessing and a curse as they are likely to run a decent overall time. COMO EL VIENTO (10) has drawn nicely but they might be too slick for him in this. LINCOLN LOU (11) was solid in his recent run at Pinjarra, and his high speed will bring him into it late with LAZI DAIS (12) who has come back well.

Tips: 2 5 1 11

Suggested Bet: RUNKLE CRUNCH/CYCLONE JORDY to Quinella.

Race 6

KOOJAN (1) has been racing well, he gets the draw to fly out and look to lead and if he leads, he should return to the winners list here. TRAVELBAN (10) ideally drawn and has been racing consistently, looks a strong place chance. MY HAMMER DOWN (11) is flying, mark my words if he gets any luck, he can win the race, but we’ll go again and follow him in to run a place. PRINCE OF TRIBECA (12) is racing well and will look to finish the race off strongly again. ELITE FLEET (4) first up for the new stable, he has been mixing his form but best is capable to earn in this with FLY TO THE FINISH (2) who has drawn well.

Tips: 1 11 10 12

Suggested Bet: MY HAMMER DOWN (11) to place.

Race 7

CURADH (8) has the high speed needed to overcome the wide draw, he is developing nicely and has depth in this grade and expect him to be hard to beat. IDEAL INTEREST (1) holds the key to the race in many aspects; he normally takes cover when leading early but may roll the dice in this. MAJOR OVERS (2) had his chance when leading in moderate time last start but if he found the top again, he can earn. I BET YOU (3) was a solid debut and has early speed, could be dangerous in this race. OUR RICH CARGO (5) is suited in this grade and has some strings to her bow, expecting a bold performance.

Tips: 8 1 3 5

Suggested Bet: CURADH (8) to win.

Race 8

CONTROL THE ROOM (1) has the draw and has been hitting the line strongly in recent starts, looks his race for the taking from the ace. MARTYR (5) is his only concern with some early speed and has been racing soundly. GET YA BETS ON (10) has been racing well in the outer country circuit, if he can hold up close enough, I am expecting him to run home strongly. SUGAR SHAKE (7) is a horse who is dropping in grade and an improvement is expected. BREWERY LANE (12) is a top 4 player at big odds; he is racing well.

Tips: 1 10 7 5

Suggested Bet: GET YA BETS ON (10) to place.

Race 9

STELLAR EDITION (6) has taken all before her this time in and continues to build in the preparation, hard to go against her on current form. TIL HEAVENS ROCKN (1) was disappointing on WA debut and draws better here but would want to see improvement before diving in. INTO THE FUTURE (2) has good early speed and may test early, he is a good novelty chance with ALWAYS CHANGIN (10) who is racing well and will be closing off strongly. MEDINA (5) creates interest in the event but draws tricky on WA debut. SUN PUBLISHER (7) can get into the money, respect him in this. MISS VINCENZA (3) also a novelty chance.

Tips: 6 2 10 1

Suggested Bet: STELLAR EDITION (6) to win.

Race 10

CORDERO (9) was a winner on Tuesday and for a horse who has knocked off Chicago Bull, he gets into this race well, a bit longer in the tooth obviously but looks hard to beat in this. SALSAWITHSIERRA (10) has the draw that she can be driven for her high speed which should see her flash late. JOEY JAMES (2), ALTA HURRAH (1) and STAPLETON (4) likely to all come out solidly looking for forward positions, all would be better suited if it were a mile event. ECLIPSE LINE (5) looks an improver here and is first up for the new stable. MY ULTIMATE CHEVRON (8) will be running on; he needs some tempo on to suit him. Open race.

Tips: 9 10 5 8

Suggested Bet: CORDERO (9) to win.
