Trots

Matt Young’s Saturday Northam Preview

Posted on | Posted by Matt Young

Race 1

BUTTER ME UP (10) finds a suitable grade and has very good closing speed, this is a deep 2yo race and he must overcome a tricky draw but looks a major player. LITTLE CHINA GIRL (6) returns and has a tonne of ability but was disappointing to the end of the preparation, looks a solid chance and should be kept safe. MAJESTIC LOMBO (9) has plenty of high speed and can come from back in the field and figure, should run well. MINK (2) can run a better race from an improved draw. STRONG THE STRIKER (4) was solid in a recent trial and should be kept safe. DU SAVON (8) is first up for Robbie Williams, must be respected as Robbie can produce them but the trials don’t read up as well as the stablemate, El Mystro.

Tips: 10 9 6 4

Suggested Bet: BUTTER ME UP (10) to win.

Race 2

THIS TIME JACKO (5) is racing well and likely to be heading forward and can sustain the run, should go well. EKARA NAVAJO (6) has upside and has plenty of high speed, fitter and must overcome the draw but will go close. HOT CINDER (4) won last time out but got tired late, this rides in grade but can figure into the novelties. ZUEDE (8) will be running on again, he deserves a win. VELVET SHADOW (7) follows out a slow beginner and is really going to hinder his chances. TELKEM JAY (9) will run home well with CIAO BABE (10) who is on the quick backup.

Tips: 5 6 8 4

Suggested Bet: EKARA NAVAJO (6) each way.

Race 3

Open race, MANEA (1) has a nice draw and the distance suits, has options and should figure in the finish. APOLOGIZE (2) has been luckless recently and is a chance, must be considered. BETTOR HAVE FAITH (5) is a versatile type, has got plenty of high speed and will be getting home well. ALTA FREEWAY (6) has a tough draw to overcome, needs his fair share of luck. DON DIABLO (7) rises in grade but drawn to get a good run, more of a novelty chance in this. PUSHBUTTON ROCK (9) is racing with tremendous consistency and will be dangerous with even luck. BRULEE (8) will be running on but needs tempo to suit.

Tips: 1 9 5 2

Suggested Bet: MANEA (1) each way.

Race 4

SOHO GIGOLO (3) has good early speed and looks likely to burn across and lead, will give them something to catch in this. JUST ALL STYLE (1) is racing well and won’t be far away, novelty chance. BEYOND BLING (10) will be powering home, he is racing well, just needs some tempo on. ALEXANDRA THEGREAT (6) likely heads forward but will have to do the work and she was found out in her last run. ACUTO (9) is suited in this grade but do prefer him off the front row, will be running on. YOU FLY WITH ME (4) needs some luck but is racing with consistency and will be running on with JAMIE KIM (8).

Tips: 3 10 1 9

Suggested Bet: SOHO GIGOLO (3) to win.

Race 5

DAWSON (3) has the draw advantage over his main rivals and looks most likely to step and potentially run to the lead, from there he can run the times required and looks hard to beat. YANKEE LINCOLN (1) is normally a quick beginner and could get the run of the race, becomes a solid place chance. CODENAME MARCUS (5) is racing well, just needs a safe getaway and can get into a good position and he could be dangerous late. CHILLI PUNTER (10) is racing well, must be respected. THELITTLE MASTER (12) tries his hand at the standing starts and is a very consistent horse but isn’t much of a work horse mid race. TWOBOB CRACKER (14) isn’t the worst chance, has plenty of traffic to overcome and looks more of a novelty chance along with FEELING ACES (7) and MY SILVER SPOON (8)

Tips: 3 1 5 12

Suggested Bet: DAWSON (3) to win.

Race 6

GELSOMINO AMAL (4) looks well placed here, can head forward and looks likely to lead and go very close, can break through for a well-deserved win. LADIESHAVTIME (7) can do things wrong, but she has plenty of ability, draw could work out to be a touch awkward. KIA ORA LOU (1) has improved recently with her trials, if she does everything right, I think she can be placed. NO MESSING ABOUT (2) is a novelty chance. OFFICIAL ROCK (9) will be powering home; she has been consistent and looks a strong place to novelty chance.

Tips: 4 7 9 1

Suggested Bet: OFFICIAL ROCK (9) to place.

Race 7

Good form race upcoming. JAXS IDEAL (6) was brilliant in a recent trial, and she has plenty of ability but did have a habit of doing things wrong, looks a major player on return even from the wide draw. WHEN IN VEGAS (5) hasn’t had a great deal of luck recently, has been racing some strong types and although this doesn’t appear much easier, I expect him to be dangerous with the draw advantage over JAXS IDEAL (6). MYSTA MOON WALKER (3) has plenty of early speed and could give them something to catch in this. INTO THE FUTURE (4) is consistent, rises in grade but rarely runs a bad race. COMO EL VIENTO (7) will be running home strongly, capable.

Tips: 6 5 3 7

Suggested Bet: JAXS IDEAL (6) to win.
