Matt Young’s Friday Northam Preview Posted on August 22, 2025August 22, 2025 | Posted by Matt Young Race 1 ALTA HURRAH (7) is drawn to get the run of the race here, he over raced last run and was only grabbed in the last couple of strides, from this draw he should settle and be very strong late, can win this week. HOT CINDER (1) drops in grade and has the draw to lead and looks to be the one to gun down. IDEAL SECRET (8) has improved in recent efforts, has options from the draw but should be getting home solidly. LETS ROCK TONIGHT (5) will be benefitted by the last effort and can do the work. Awkward draw for KEPTAIN COURAGEOUS (6) who is wonderfully consistent. ISAIDBOO (4) can mix his form but won’t be far away. Tips: 7 1 5 6 Suggested Bet: ALTA HURRAH (7) each way. Race 2 TOMMY PRICE (6) looks well placed, has brilliant early speed and is facing a big drop in grade, can burn to the top and get the job done. CINDYS SECRET (1) has the nice draw, but her gate speed was tested last run and likely to be leaders back in this, should still run a good race. CODENAME ELLIOT (8) will be running on well; this class suits better. IM GRAFTER (7) is a novelty chance from the soft run. Tips: 6 1 8 7 Suggested Bet: TOMMY PRICE (6) to win. Race 3 BY ROYAL COMMAND (10) is in sparkling form and looks suited again tonight, some big margin victories and can overcome the draw and will go close again. ROCKY MAGUIRE (9) is racing well, has improved in recent runs and should be right in this. INTO THE FUTURE (6) and OFFICIAL ROCK (5) are both capable of solid performances but awkward draws. WRITE RITE RIGHT (4) has had a few opportunities, wouldn’t want to be diving in too short. Tips: 10 9 6 5 Suggested Bet: BY ROYAL COMMAND (10) to win. Race 4 Open race, LORD PUBLISHER (3) has the speed to work forward and likely lead, this looks a suitable grade and will run a bold race here. GET THE BOOTH (6) is mixing in form but this is a drop in grade on her recent runs, she should be right in the hunt. ATOMIC FEEL (9) rises in grade but was a solid win last time out and should be moving in an upward trajectory now. BEYOND BLING (10) will be running on strongly, good win last start and looks enough tempo to really bring him into the race. GOODONYA MATE (2) is a place hope from the draw and BRULEE (8) might need the run. Tips: 10 3 9 6 Suggested Bet: BEYOND BLING (10) to win. Race 5 ELEGANT EAGLE (5) is racing well, has really lifted in confidence and the last few runs really hold him in good stead to win again here, go close. DONTWAKEMEUP (6) is racing soundly and has the depth to overcome the draw but bumps into a couple of in form pacers. ROCKSTAR QUALITY (2) broke through for a well-deserved win last time and has the draw advantage. DAWSON SHARD (8) is capable and could fly under the radar. Tips: 5 6 2 8 Suggested Bet: ELEGANT EAGLE (5) to win. Race 6 SHEHADI (3) has dropped right in grade and looks hard to beat but could go around at a very short quote and her form doesn’t justify being that short. COURAGE OF LOMBO (6) returns and strikes a suitable race but may need the run, has got an abundance of early speed and should go well. BATAVIA STREAMLINE (7) and SPORTS CENTRAL (8) will both be running on solidly. DUSTYROADS (1), CRACKA TINNY (4) and DANNIKA (5) are all novelty chances. Tips: 6 3 7 8 Suggested Bet: COURAGE OF LOMBO (6) to win. Market Market
