Trent Cooper’s Gloucester Park Preview

Posted on | Posted by Trent Cooper

Race 1

RAVEN BANNER (1) has been beaten as a short-priced favourite at his last two starts but was simply beaten by a better horse at his last start and he can make amends tonight. FREE WHEELING (4) is racing consistently and has the strength to race in the breeze and still fight out the finish. ILLAWONG MUSTANG (10) has disappointed at his last two starts but looks a good place chance from this draw. DEEORSE (3) led throughout to defeat a weaker field here last week and shouldn’t be far away.

Tips: 1 4 10 3

Suggested Bet: RAVEN BANNER (1) to win.

Race 2

ARMA EINSTEIN (6) drew the pole but was crossed early and then didn’t get into a rhythm when 4th to James Butt here last week. He is likely to settle in the back half of the field but should be charging home at each way odds. DOMINUS FACTUM (4) led throughout here two starts back and will give a great sight if he can cross at the start. KIMBLE (2) defeated an easier field at his last start and looks a major player again. MANNING (1) is racing well and will be a winning chance if he can make the most of the pole draw.

Tips: 6 4 2 1

Suggested Bet: ARMA EINSTEIN (6) each way.

Race 3

CLASSIC CHOICE (2) broke through for a well-deserved win after facing the breeze here last week. He goes up in class tonight but looks a good chance to find the front and will be hard to catch in that role. IMA FIVESTAR GENERAL (3) has finished 2nd in five of his past six starts and should fight out the finish again. EZANA (6) was underdone but ran a solid 5th at his first run back from a spell and will strip fitter tonight. CORDERO (1) is always dangerous in this company with the right run and must be considered from the pole.

Tips: 2 3 6 1

Suggested Bet: CLASSIC CHOICE (2) to win.

Race 4

MIGHTY RONALDO (1) won the Fremantle Cup earlier in the year and caught the eye with a fast finishing 3rd in the Bunbury Cup. He has options at the start and can make the most of the barrier advantage he enjoys over his main rivals. MAGNIFICENT STORM (8) has looked sharper in his two runs back from a spell but will need an early burn to bring him into contention. STEEL THE SHOW (3) is undefeated in four WA starts and is ready for the rise in class. LAVRA JOE (7) defeated MAGNIFICENT STORM (8) and MIGHTY RONALDO (1) in the Bunbury Cup but is unlikely to find the top tonight.

Tips: 1 8 3 7

Suggested Bet: MAGNIFICENT STORM (8) each way.

Race 5

WONDERFUL TO FLY (10) resumed with a narrow but impressive 1.54.8 win here last week and she will be hard to hold out if she sees daylight at the right time. NEVERMINDTHECHAOS (9) lost no admirers when run down in the shadows of the post by WONDERFUL TO FLY (10) and should fight out the finish again despite the wide draw. THE AMBER HARE (7) enjoys a slight barrier advantage over her main rivals and will be hard to beat if she can work her way to the front. SIMPLY SHAZ (1) was a well-beaten 3rd here last week but the pole draw brings her into contention.

Tips: 10 9 7 1

Suggested Bet: WONDERFUL TO FLY (10) to win.

Race 6

WATER LOU (2) has led throughout to win all four of her race starts and is clearly the one to beat. XCEPTIONAL ARMA (3) ran a nice 2nd from the breeze behind WATER LOU (2) in the Sales Classic before winning at her last start and looks the only danger. WORLD SECRET (1) is drawn to trail the favourite and can be placed from the position. REMARKABLE ROCK (5) ran 3rd in the Sales Classic behind the two favourites and will be running on.

Tips: 2 3 1 5

Suggested Bet: WATER LOU (2) to win.

Race 7

LAMANDIER (2) worked his way to the front before impressively winning at Pinjarra and will be hard to catch if he can find the top again. AUSSIE SCOOTER (10) has won three of his last four starts in similar company and must be considered despite the 20m handicap. TAKING THE MIKI (3) resumed with an impressive win against her own sex and will give a sight if she handles the stand. AMERICAN BULLITT (1) has only been placed in one of his last seven starts but should be thereabouts from the pole.

Tips: 2 10 3 1

Suggested Bet: LAMANDIER (2) to win.

Race 8

JETT STAR (1) was a good winner from the breeze in 1.54.5 over this distance two starts back and he will be hard to catch if he can hold up at the start. DONT BOTHER ME NONE (2) has won three of his last four starts and should fight out the finish from his nice draw. HANDSANDWHEELS (5) drops in class from his last-start 6th in the Bunbury Cup and has the gate speed to make things interesting in the early stages. EL CHEMA (6) is drawn poorly but has a great turn of foot and will be charging home if there is a solid tempo.

Tips: 1 2 5 6

Suggested Bet: JETT STAR (1) to win.

Race 9

REGAL CHEVAL (7) crossed from a middle barrier here last week and was only nabbed on the line when 3rd to Will I Rocknroll here last week and will give a great sight if he can find the top again. GRAN CHICO (11) was a solid 3rd here in good time last week and is suited in this company. DISCO UNDER FIRE (1) has been freshened since losing form but did lead throughout in 1.57.2 in January and must be considered. WHOSWHOINTHEZOO (9) will need a solid tempo to figure but can be running on at big odds if that does eventuate.

Tips: 7 11 1 9

Suggested Bet: REGAL CHEVAL (7) to win.

Race 10

IM THE BLACK FLASH (5) overcame trouble to defeat a weak field after narrowly beating HOTLY PURSUED (3) and is the one to beat. STAR LAVRA (1) is still a maiden but is an improving type who would give them something to catch if can hold up at the start. HOTLY PURSUED (3) was a close 2nd to the favourite here two starts back and is capable of causing an upset with the right run. HES NEVER BEEN BETA (4) has won four of his seven career starts and can add to that record if he gets the right trip in transit.

Tips: 5 3 1 4

Suggested Bet: STAR LAVRA (1) to win.
