Posted on April 11, 2023April 11, 2023 | Posted by Warren Huntly

Race 1

Track rated in the heavy range a day before the meeting, with more rain forecast on the day. KNIFE TALK ran well on debut and pulled up with a degree of lameness last start, he’s jumped out nicely on soft ground. CIRCUMPOLAR has also jumped out well on rain affected ground and the form through his last run reds well after Aiming’s win at Sandown Easter Monday. SIGNAL is fit and consistent and comes through the same race as Circumpolar. MOTHEREENS has had a few chances but is hard fit and covered ground last start.

Selections: 2,1,5,7

Suggested Bet: Knife Talk to win

---

Race 2

FUTURISTIC resumes gelded and has jumped out quite well behind The Fortune Teller. STAROSHKA hit the line strongly on debut and looks suited by the extra 100m. NEW HAMPSHIRE rode the speed and gave a good sight second up. CAPRE OMNIA ran home well after finishing powerfully on debut. RUSSIAN SUMMER looks to have come back well based on his latest jumpout. PAULARTES and WALK OF FAME have looked ok at the jumpouts.

Selections: 2,6,4,5

Suggested Bet: Futuristic each way

Race 3

COSMIC ENIGMA has been hitting the line strongly and should be suited getting out to 1600m. TENACE has also been running on well and has handled rain affected ground. THISISMYTURF has got through wet ground well second up and was back to his better form second up. SARDONIAN had no luck in the home straight on debut.

Selections: 3,8,9,6

Suggested Bet: Cosmic Enigma to win

Race 4

The imported DIVUS ROMULUS is an intriguing runner, he’s jumped out well for his local debut behind White Marlin. CAESAR CAKE hit the line strongly on debut and should relish the rise in trip. GEORGIE GET MAD looks part of the speed and will strip fitter for an encouraging first up run. MAKRANA and SHEARMAN DYER are in the mix.

Selections: 4,9,1,11

Suggested Bet: Playing multiples around 4,9 & 1

---

Race 5

RESERVOIR DOG gets through wet ground ok and has jumped out nicely to resume. STREET DELIGHT also handles rain affected ground and will strip for her first up run. VOLPE RISORSA jumped out well leading into her first up run and is capable of improving significantly. AMPHACTOR has form that ties in with Reservoir Dog and has been jumping out ok. ZIGGI ROCKS is racing well and backs up quickly.

Selections: 5,6,4,3

Suggested Bet: Reservoir Dog each way

---

Race 6

GOTTABESAVVY ran well without the best of luck first up and looks suited stepping up to 1600m. VICTORINE is racing well and should also appreciate 1600m. INTREPID EAGLE comes through a strong race last time and should be at peak fitness. SKY HORSE drops significantly in grade with blinkers back on. PLAYING IT SAFE drops back in trip after a freshen and should be strong late.

Selections: 3,10,4,2

Suggested Bet: Gottabesavvy each way

---

Race 7

MRS CHRISSIE is proving costly with her slow starts but she’s jumped out cleanly between runs. AIR DEFENCE has been jumping out well to resume and looks forward first up. DUSTLAND FAIRYTALE handles wet ground well and has been jumping out nicely. DASHING PIERRO has returned in good form. GUNNA GUNNA (blinkers back on) and BADGE are heavy track queries but right in the game if they handle the conditions.

Selections: 8,2,3,7

Suggested Bet: Playing multiples around 8,2 & 3

---

Race 8

BEEFEATERS found the right part of the track to win first up and will strip fitter. DANCELITTLESISTER has shown her customary speed in recent jumpouts and should prove hard to catch first up. SUMMIT QUEEN was given a solid hit out to win a recent jumpout and likes it wet. TEQUILA STORM and ROSE QUEEN have claims in a deep race.

Selections: 3,9,8,7

Suggested Bet: Beefeaters to win
