Trent Cooper’s Gloucester Park Preview Posted on August 19, 2021August 19, 2021 | Posted by Trent Cooper Race 1 OUR STAR WATCH (1) led throughout when beating Euphoria here two starts back and will be hard to catch if he can hold up at the start. MIDDLEPAGE (2) was a strong winner from the breeze here recently and will be prominent throughout from this draw. WHATABRO (4) displayed his versatility when working hard and battling on well to finish 3rd to Alta Intrigue at his last start and must be respected. LITTLE BITOF FUN (10) is drawn to get a soft run on the pegs and can be thereabouts at good each way odds. Tips: 1 2 4 10 Suggested Bet: LITTLE BITOF FUN (10) each way. Race 2 SHADOW ROLL (3) resumed from a spell with a fast-finishing close-up 3rd to See Ya Write and looks set for a good campaign. He is drawn inside his main rivals here and should give a great sight. EUPHORIA (4) has won his last two starts in easier company and is ready for the rise in class. LORD ROSCO (8) knocked up late when 3rd at his first run back from a spell and will give them something to catch if he crosses at the start. RICHIE REACTOR (6) was a strong 2nd at his first start back from a break and can play a part at odds. Tips: 3 4 8 6 Suggested Bet: SHADOW ROLL (3) to win. Race 3 ALTA BLUES (6) has faced the breeze at his last two starts when 4th to Magnificent Storm and 5th to Vampiro and will appreciate a significant class drop tonight. SPACE JUNK (1) led throughout here three starts back before leading from this draw when a close 2nd to Bracken Sky and will give a great sight again. CARRERA MACH (3) broke back into the winners’ circle here last week and should be thereabouts despite the rise in class. QUEEN SHENADOAH (4) has been placed in three of her last four starts and won’t be far away. Tips: 6 1 3 4 Suggested Bet: ALTA BLUES (6) to win. Race 4 MAGNIFICENT STORM (2) has raced his way through the classes, winning 14 of his 16 career starts. He steps up to open company for the first time and has the draw to be the one to beat. PATRONUS STAR (3) has ran on well to finish 2nd at his last three starts and will be charging home again. MIGHTY CONQUEROR (7) has resumed from a spell at the top of his game and has the strength to overcome the wide draw. IDEAL LINER (1) is a rung below the top-liners but loves the pegs and can be placed from the pole draw. Tips: 2 3 7 1 Suggested Bet: MAGNIFICENT STORM (2) to win. Race 5 AL GUERRERO (1) sat on Vampiro when a 4m 3rd to that pacer in stronger company here last week. He looks the leader tonight and will give a great sight in this line-up. ALTA INTRIGUE (3) was an impressive 1.56.9 winner here last week and looks a major player from his nice draw. SEE YA WRITE (7) has impressed in winning his last three on end and must be considered despite the wide draw. HENWOOD BAY (10) is racing well and looks a good each way chance if he can muster enough speed to settle on the back of the polemarker. Tips: 1 3 7 10 Suggested Bet: AL GUERRERO (1) to win. Race 6 JUST MAKEMINE DIAMONDS (6) led when a brave 2nd here in quick time last week and drops in class for this assignment. BLOCKJORG (10) disappointed here last week but her previous two runs had plenty of merit and she can be dangerous from her nice trailing draw. DIAMOND DOVE (1) has been unplaced in all eight starts this time in but can be a big improver from the pole. ADVANCE YOUR DREAM (2) will enjoy her best draw for a while and can figure in the finish. Tips: 6 10 1 2 Suggested Bet: BLOCKJORG (10) each way. Race 7 EUPHORIC MOMENT (5) faced the breeze when a strong 2nd to Mandy Joan here last week. He is likely to take up the same position tonight and should be right in the finish. THE KRAKEN (2) was a good 3rd in a stronger field two starts back and looks a major player from his nice draw. EXTREME PRINCE (1) has battled bad barriers since leading when a narrow 2nd here five starts back and must be considered from the pole. ONE FOR DAVE ANDME (3) has been placed in three of his last four starts and shouldn’t be far away again. Tips: 5 2 1 3 Suggested Bet: EUPHORIC MOMENT (5) each way. Race 8 ULTIMATE OFFER (8) has finished near the rear at all four starts this time in but will be hard to beat in this company if he can produce anything like his best. THEREUGO (9) looks a good chance to the cross at the start and will give a good sight under that scenario. ROCKNROLL WHITBY (1) has been unplaced at his past five starts since a strong win at this track and must be considered from the pole. BEE SEVENTEEN (4) has been unplaced at his last five starts but won a recent Pinjarra trial and can improve tonight. Tips: 8 9 1 4 Suggested Bet: ULTIMATE OFFER (8) to win. Race 9 MACHNIFICENT (6) has reeled off slick closing sectionals to win his last three starts and will be charging home again. ROCKNROLL ELLIOT (1) led throughout to win in 1.56.7 on Monday and will give a great sight if he can reproduce that effort. OTIS (5) raced well in strong company before going for a break and looks a major player after warming up with a 1.56.4 Byford trial victory. ORLANDO BLUE (4) is racing extremely well and looks the other winning chance. Tips: 6 1 5 4 Suggested Bet: MACHNIFICENT (6) to win. Race 10 WONDERFUL TO FLY (3) looked in need of the run when 4th here last week. She will strip fitter for that assignment and looks capable of bouncing back into the winners’ circle tonight. PRECOCIOUS LADY (1) has won two of her last four starts and is an obvious danger from the pole draw. WALL STREET GIRL (6) has been brave in finishing 2nd at her past two starts and should be right in the finish again. HARRIER JET (2) is drawn to get a lovely run just behind the speed and can be placed. Tips: 3 1 6 2 Suggested Bet: WONDERFUL TO FLY (3) to win. Market Market
