Scott Embry’s Sunday Geraldton Preview

RACE 1

PAGANI was caught deep form gate 5 last start and did a good job to still finish within half a length of Picture Show. Looks like being nearly odds on here and does finally get her chance to break through. GLITCH INTHESYSTEM comes from the same race and was a shade disappointing. CARSON DRIVE ran well first-up. ALWAYS EASY never that far away from them.

Numbers: 5 – 4 – 2 – 1

Suggested Bet – PAGANI WIN


RACE 2

INVICTUS DOMINI was heavily commissioned last start in a race which simply didn’t pan out at all well for Brodie Kirby. Was caught deep the trip and tramped extremely wide for the vast majority of the race. Patrick Carbery picks up the ride and this gate is no easier but the opposition is very similar and he again deserves to be a short quote. MAY KEEP HIM has had a lot of chances but continues to race well. LEAD GUITAR ran well on the fresh side. WINGSONMYFEET will appreciate a step back up in trip.

Numbers: 3 – 1 – 9 – 8

Suggested Bet – INVICTUS DOMINI WIN


RACE 3

PINSSON has won his last two in style and in really slick time. Rises to 61kg but from the gate shouldn’t do any work in the run and there doesn’t look to be a great deal of speed in the race. Should again prove very hard to get past. TRADE TALK won well last start but again rises in weight. 3 back the fence suits him but 63.5 is a serious task. FLYING ROAR should improve third up and the senior rider goes on. CALABRIA JOE is always around the mark and always a blow out chance.

Numbers: 2 – 1 – 3 – 5

Suggested Bet – PINSSON WIN


RACE 4

PUB BRAWL has only won the one race and that was a maiden but in recent times has not been disgraced in 60+ Graduation company at Ascot. The last two runs a bit disappointing but the Karijini Aurora form looks good after that filly won the Albany Golden Bracelet. Draws to sit midfield and can win this. THE FULL QUID is clearly not the full quid, a mare with some serious quirks. If she jumps (massive if) then she’ll be hard to beat. BRICK SHORT won well last time out and looked a horse who would win a C1 soon. BITOVEMU consistently around the mark.

Numbers: 3 – 5 – 4 – 6

Suggested Bet – PUB BRAWL WIN


RACE 5

MIDNIGHT ROKET steps into C5 grade and probably more importantly drops back to 1200m. Didn’t seem to handle the 1400 last start and back in trip from the good gate he should settle right behind a genuine tempo and go close. HOT STYLE had his colours lowered at the hands of Diamonds For All last start. Another winnable race here for the inform galloper. BLACK DYNAMITE has run almost the exact same race his last 5. Held up, bolting, flashing late, blackbook, repeat. He really deserves to break through. KENYLUCK jumps and will run them hard.

Numbers: 3 – 1 – 2 – 4

Suggested Bet – MIDNIGHT ROCKET WIN


RACE 6

OUQBA TED is charging through the grades and the way he has won his last two suggest he will take a stack of beating again. The wide gate doesn’t matter to him he is a get back and run on type and provided he doesn’t find any traffic should again charge through the line. WILD MEMORIES has been ultra consistent all preparation. The mile looks around her perfect trip and if she can step she’s in the mix. GOLDEN ACRES should improve again and draws well. RED EPIC deserved the last start win. This is a touch harder.

Numbers: 1 – 4 – 2 – 6

Suggested Bet – OUQBA TED WIN


RACE 7

FREEZ’EMOFF has a wide gate to contend with but she can sustain a run and she is a mare in white hot form. After winning the Walkaway Cup back in December by over 4L Graeme Hammarquist has timed his run to perfection with her. This is the fifth run of her preparation and she had to dig deep with 60kg to win last start. MYCROFT was the equal of Freez’emoff when they met and has the extra run under his belt. He gets in perfectly with 55.5kg and should be the testing material. DEFIANTLY won well last start and is seemingly a different horse under Lucy Warwick. PUSH TO PASS from three back the fence can run a race at double figures.

Numbers: 2 – 3 – 4 – 1

Suggested Bet – FREEZ’EMOFF WIN


RACE 8

BALRANTO is a bit of a throw at the stumps in the last but had absolutely no luck last time out. Patrick Carbery picks up the ride and from gate 4 should get a much more favourable run in transit and hopefully with even luck can get out and test them in a wide open race to end the day. SLUICE BOX is bursting to win another race but the outside gate is no easy task for the 3kg claimer. HAYSTACKS only won a moderate maiden last start but did it well. ECHO STAR is normally around the place.

Numbers: 12 – 1 – 3 – 5

Suggested Bet – BALRANTO WIN
