Matt Young’s Saturday Northam Preview Posted on December 18, 2025December 19, 2025 | Posted by Matt Young Race 1 SPLASH OF CASH (2) is improving and has a front row draw to work with, looks hard to beat in this. PRINCESS AVIATOR (9) did things wrong last start but was making ground before running into bother again, expecting her to go strongly here. THREE FLAMES (4) has had many opportunities but is never far away. BATAVIA WEST (8) and DARE TO LIE (5) next best. Tips: 2 9 4 8 Suggested Bet: SPLASH OF CASH (2) to win. Race 2 Open race here. GINNIVAN (6) has the ability and can do the work in a race like this, he also has a few tricks, expecting him to run well. JOEYS ON A ROLL (5) trialled up just ok but has some speed and could be an improver first up for the new stable. MORE THAN HONOURED (9) is consistent and expecting him to be in the money. DOUBLE THE ANTE (10) on the quick backup, is most certainly good enough, just working back into fitness and form. SATAN PRINCESS (3) and TELL ITIN HEAVEN (8) both novelty chances with the latter a knockout winning chance. Tips: 6 9 5 10 Suggested Bet: GINNIVAN (6) each way. Race 3 ARIONROCK (9) has been racing against some strong types and looks suited here, he is a versatile type, and the tempo looks to swing the race into his favour. RAKERO RAIDER (6) was outstanding in his victory last time out and won like he had just joined in, has come back well and must be respected. POCKET THE CHANGE (1) has the draw to feature, she has options. STRAUNY (3) will be well travelled but thrives on the tougher racing. BURGHLEY SHARD (7) will require some luck from the draw but if the gaps come, he is a solid chance along with the consistent stablemate LOUIE LEBEAU (8) who is also on the quick backup. Tips: 9 6 1 7 Suggested Bet: ARIONROCK (9) to win. Race 4 SHES MY LITTLE GEM (10) has looked impressive with her two runs for Lang Inwood and must overcome a tough draw, but the class looks to suit and expecting her to go close here. GALVINSTON JOHN (3) will be heading forward and likely finds the top, he can mix his form, but recent runs have been good. TORREVEAN PINKY (2) has drawn nicely, can get close to the speed and be in the finish. THIS TIME JACKO (5) got keen in his most recent run and wasn’t beaten far, wouldn’t be surprised to see him feature. THE MERCERNARY (7) a place chance from the soft draw. Tips: 10 3 2 5 Suggested Bet: SHES MY LITTLE GEM (10) each way. Race 5 Open race here. LETS ROCK TONIGHT (5) will get the distance and has been racing well enough, he can also be put into the race and thought he would go close here. MY ULTIMATE KEVVIE (4) is first up from a spell and first stand, distance should suit his style and thought he could run a race on return. VELVET SHADOW (2) had no luck last time out and normally steps well, could get into the money at value in this. ISAIDBOO (3) caught the eye last run but do prefer him at shorter. DON’T GOIN THEWATER (1) has had a few opportunities to break through and looks more of a place chance in this. GOODONYA MATE (7) is lurking, just needs some luck and RAMBO RABBIT (6) has been consistent and likely moves into it with a quick beginning. Tips: 5 4 2 7 Suggested Bet: LETS ROCK TONIGHT (5) each way. Race 6 AMBITSIYA (7) has an awkward draw to work with but is the class of the field, won a recent trial and was really opened up down the back in that trial, she has a habit of doing things wrong and just because of that I wouldn’t want to dive into the short odds although I do think she’s the best horse. EYE BETTER (8) was unlucky last time out, had something to give but nowhere to go, tempo could suit her to run well. COOPER (6) is a winning chance, if he could ping across and lead, he would give them something to catch. ROCKSTAR QUALITY (9) rises in grade but is racing well enough. DAT LOVELY (2) has returned well and she is a novelty chance with AMERICAN MONARCH (4) who is awkwardly drawn. SPUDMEISTER (5) is one to throw in your quaddie, he isn’t far off running a race. Tips: 7 8 6 9 Suggested Bet: EYE BETTER (8) each way. Race 7 BEACH CAPTAIN (6) may be driven like a giant in this, he seems to lack high speed, and this race could see him up outside the speed and turning into a last man standing contest, think he will go very close. COVERNOTE (5) is better suited in this grade, but he is hard to get a gauge on, last start placing was his first all year and it was a remote third. TORREVEAN AMY (2) will be looking for an economical run, she is capable and was to close to the speed last time out. ALEXANDRA THEGREAT (1) is a novelty chance. AMERICAN CRUISE (4) going well enough to feature and HUGHEY (8) racing well but this looks harder. Tips: 6 4 5 8 Suggested Bet: BEACH CAPTAIN (6) to win. Market Market
