Ahoy Roarers! The roughies were out in force at Flemington on Saturday, including a $101 chance to close out the day, but hopefully we can bounce back this Saturday.
I’ll be previewing the quaddies at Caulfield this Saturday, starting off with the early quaddie, with the legs being races two through to five.
Leg one – VOBIS Gold Stayers
2400m
St Leger winner Authoritarian looks as though he has the pace to lead, with outsider Don’t Be Shy possibly going forward also. Looks a race in three between Bondeiger, Scherzoso and Oncidium Ruler.
Suggestion: 3-4-5
Leg two – Brian Reckas Handicap
1000m
Sydney visitor Crafty Cop showed good speed in a recent Rosehill trial and from a decent gate she can push forward. She looks the one to beat, with another Sydney raider, Kentucky Miss, the threat.
Suggestion: 1-3-7-8
Leg three – John Skewes Handicap
1200m
Stack of speed engaged here with up to seven runners going forward. Conspicuous Maid jumped out well prior to last start when bloused late. She draws to sit with cover and ambush. D-Day for Anatola too, she ticks plenty of boxes.
Suggestion: 2-3-5-9-10-11
Leg four – Helen Egan Handicap
2000m
It’s Humphrey led all the way last start in breaking the maiden tag at Sale, and with Craig Newitt aboard, he’ll be near the tempo again. Alamonteel was an impressive winner last Saturday on the Parks track in Adelaide and should go close.
Suggestion: 1-2-3-11-12
$50 investment: 11.90 per cent of the dividend if successful
Leg one – Debra Coombs Handicap
1200m
The lead looks on a platter for the Sydney visitor Butterboom, who is in ripping form. If the tempo is strong, I’m all over Vibrant Rouge, who looks well placed from the good draw.
Suggestion: 1-2-3-4-8
Leg two – Thebigscreencompany.com.au Bletchingly Stakes
1200m
Looks to be really good speed here with Charmed Harmony, Lord Of The Sky and The Cleaner all front-running types. Charmed Harmony did look sharp in a recent jump out and looks the overs, as does The Cleaner.
Suggestion: 2-3-5-10
Leg three – Ladbrookes Odds Boost Handicap
1400m
Thelburg and Little Bita Spunk are the speed runners engaged here. Really good race with plenty of depth engaged. Mr Individual and Prince Of Brooklyn hard to beat.
Suggestion: 1-2-4-10-11-13
Leg four – The Champagne Pommery Masters Handicap (78)
1400m
Fast Approaching to lead here from the good draw. That sets up perfectly for Magicus, who should get the perfect drag up near the tempo, and looks a standout bet in the lucky last.
Suggestion: 5
$50 investment: 41.66 per cent of the dividend if successful.
