Matt Young’s Saturday Northam Preview Posted on April 18, 2025April 18, 2025 | Posted by Matt Young Race 1 THE BETTOR SIDE (3) has good early speed, and his last run was solid, looks likely to lead and will give them something to catch. SEASIDE MAGIC (9) has come back well and hit the line strongly behind Cyclone Jordy last time out, looks like he could be close enough here. PRINCE OF TRIBECA (6) is a high-speed type on return but has a tough draw to overcome. CONTROL THE ROOM (8) has been consistent and will get into a good position. BY ROYAL COMMAND (5) next best and should be considered for the novelties. Tips: 9 3 6 8 Suggested Bet: SEASIDE MAGIC (9) to win. Race 2 ALEXANDRA THEGREAT (6) will be charging across and looks likely to find the top here, she ran along when winning on Sunday and appears hard to beat again. SHEHADI (8) suited by this grade, but she isn’t a horse who can do much work in her races, expecting her to close off strongly. RYDER ROSE (7) was solid last time out, tricky draw and needs some luck but can run into the money. HOT CINDER (3) a novelty chance with the early speed. Tips: 6 8 7 3 Suggested Bet: ALEXANDRA THEGREAT (6) to win. Race 3 MAJOR CLASS (9) performed well last time out, looked like many of the Lang Inwood runners that day needed the run, who were all coming off their previous runs being the 21st of March, with that thought, I am expecting a sharp improvement from this big horse here, who wasn’t disgraced. HAVING FUN (8) was exceptional in that same race, can do the work and be a major player again. LOCAL RESIDENT (5) has good early speed, think he’ll run a better race and a chance he could find the top early. TOMMY PRICE (6) will be suited by this grade, getting back to peak fitness. ROCKNROLL TRAIN (7) needs some luck from the draw but can fill the novelties. Tips: 9 8 5 6 Suggested Bet: MAJOR CLASS (9) to win. Race 4 Open event. VINTAGE BLU (9) was solid last time out and this grade of race looks to suit, can sit up and sprint home well and think he’ll be right in the mix. REG LAWSON (3) has been consistent and looks a strong each way chance with his versatility. GOODONYA MATE (1) has the perfect draw, looks to settle close enough and the sprint lane could come into play. DON’T GOIN THEWATER (4) is consistent and must be respected. KEPTAIN COURAGEOUS (7) a must for the novelties from the soft draw. AMERICAN MONARCH (5) can improve but the draw is awkward, and her form is a little below what she had been showing over a month ago. Tips: 9 3 1 7 Suggested Bet: VINTAGE BLU (9) each way. Race 5 FULL SWING DENARIO (7) has drawn to get a good run, comes into this fresh but has good depth and looks hard to beat. BETTOR HAVE FAITH (1) will run strongly, has options from the draw but can get keen when pushed off the arm. GREVIS (2) major player in this, he becomes the one to beat if he can find the top, that thought is up in the air with the pole marker. EYE BETTER (3) is consistent, novelty chance again along with BEYOND BLING (4) but may be shuffled a bit further back. CHILLIN (9) was good last time out but this looks a bit more challenging. Tips: 7 2 1 3 Suggested Bet: FULL SWING DENARIO (7) to win. Race 6 ALWAYSBFRANK (1) has the perfect draw, and the big fella is a much better horse when he is on speed, looks likely to lead and be hard to gun down. MORE SASS (6) had a forgettable preparation last time out but must be respected that anywhere near her best would see her go close. Returns from a tough draw. LITTLE BITOF FUN (4) is always a consistent performer, and this grade looks to suit. ROCKABILITY (5) has plenty of early speed, he is racing well, and winning chances elevate if he could cross. IM EUGENE (2) might have something to say about that, he is capable of better, and improvement isn’t completely out of the picture. KEAYANG JIGSAW (8) find this harder from the back row. Tips: 1 6 5 4 Suggested Bet: ALWAYSBFRANK (1) to win. Race 7 DOUBLE THE ANTE (5) returns and finds a suitable race, keep him safe but prefer when he can get on speed. CRETACEOUS (7) needs a little bit of luck but the horse is racing soundly and is ready to win. GINNIVAN (9) returns and has shown promise, keep him safe. FOLLOW THEROCKSTAR (6) was a winner two back, might go up shorter than expected, can win but the draw and class look to be challenging. ON GOLDEN ROAD (1) can be placed from the draw. Tips: 5 7 9 6 Suggested Bet: DOUBLE THE ANTE (5) to win. Market Market
