Shortte’s Weekend Handful Posted on May 27, 2016 | Posted by David Shortte David Shortte’s Preview Cannington Saturday Race 1: Number 8 ALKA CASEY Came from this draw over this trip last week when an impressive winner in 43.00. Beat home Dyna Nihilist on that occasion and once again they loom as the two key chances in this. Enjoys using a bit of the track and with a repeat of last week’s effort will take stopping. Trifecta : 2,8 / 2,8 / field. $30 spend = 250% Race 2: Number 1 Oakland Raider Race 3: Number 1 RAMIFICATIONS Talented type who has won 11 of his 21 career starts and loves the cherry draw where he has had 2 tries for 2 wins. Five back won a Perth Cup heat in 29.88 and while he can be hit and miss at box rise when he steps can really run along. Looks the goods from the red. First 4: 1 / 3, 4, 8 / field / field. $30 spend = 33.33% Race 9: Number 1 Lorus Time Race 11: Number 2 DOWNLIGHT Grand campaigner who has taken a real fancy to this trip since the new track opened having 5 tries for 4 wins and a placing. He is a reliable beginner and with average luck should get the cash again. Classifield Boy is the main threat and they look a nice quinella play in the race. Quaddie : 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 / 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 / 2, 3, 5, 7, 8 / 1, 7, 8. $50 spend = 11.11% Bet Now!
