Canterbury Park and Cranbourne are the places to be this Wednesday, with competitive fields and strong prize money on offer.
Canterbury Park Race 5
#6 Raskol
Raskol is knocking on the door. All runs this preparation have been good without threatening, and she finds a winnable assignment on Wednesday. The 1100m suits at this stage of her campaign, and she has been well supported early doors. I suspect she has the fitness edge over most of her rivals, and the track conditions are advantageous. Ready to win!
Brown Sugar will have plenty of supporters after producing an impressive debut campaign. The Pierata mare oozes class, and she turned heads recently at the trials. The apprentice claim helps her plight, and the inside draw puts her into all winning conversations. Her opening quote has been nibbled at; I expect her to fight out the finish. Hard to toss!
Dietrich can resume a winner. The Pariah mare is building an impressive career record, and a recent jump-out turned the heads of the punters. She finds her pet distance on Wednesday, and her camp boasts an impressive winning strike rate in the town. The class rise is the primary concern.
Suggested Bet: Raskol @ $5.00
Canterbury Park RACE 7
#6 Let's Fly
Let’s Fly is racing well at present. The Flying Artie mare was an impressive last-start winner at Randwick, and she meets easier opposition on Wednesday. Her record at the trip must be respected, and her camp are training winners for fun at present. The inside draw should give her rivals nightmares leading into Wednesday’s assignment, and the market has gravitated towards her since acceptances. Major player!
Standard Deviation can resume a winner after producing a below-par autumn preparation. The Invincible Spirit gelding looks well placed in this company, and the flood of early money tells a story. The James McDonald and Chris Waller combination will attract further market support, and the soft inside draw puts him into all winning calculations. Acid test!
Twisted Queen is edging closer to her next victory. The Hallowed Crown mare is racing better than it suggest in the bible, and the Pride camp can never be underestimated. Barrier four provides her pilot multiple options in the run, and she is a must for all broader multiples and exotics. Dismiss at your own peril.
Suggested Bet: Let’s Fly @ $5.00
Cranbourne Race 5
#3 Nordic Strike
Nordic Strike is overdue for a victory. The Anders gelding hasn’t missed a top-five finish since the moon landing, and he looks extremely well-placed dropping back sharply in grade. The apprentice claim could prove decisive, and the Ciaron Maher polish must be respected. His record at the distance is rock-solid, and I expect him to jump a pronounced favourite on Wednesday.
King West is over the odds. The Kingman gelding was ok without scoring last campaign, and he meets the usual suspects fresh. His record first-up must be respected, and he finds the right journey on Wednesday. The inside draw helps his case, and the key booking of Lachlan Neindorf is significant. He will be thereabouts with even luck in transit.
Room For Bingo can run a drum at a price. The Squamosa mare is ready to peak, and I suspect she has been trained to the minute for her third-up assignment. The apprentice claim is advantageous, and the middle draw suits to a tee. This event looks a tricky one, however; he can figure in the finish if he is presented with his run at the right time.
Suggested Bet: Nordic Strike @ $4.20
Cranbourne Race 6
#10 Written Story
Written Story can run a race at a double-figure quote. The Written By mare finds a winnable assignment, and I suspect she has the fitness edge on the majority of her rivals. The 1400m suits, and her opening quote has been more than specked at. The camp have a knack of placing their horses in the city to perfection, and the middle draw puts his into all winning calculations. Over the odds!
Alien Angel has been heavily supported in most all-in markets. The Zelzal mare was an impressive last-start winner at Cranbourne, and she finds another suitable assignment on Wednesday. The wide gate is tricky, however; she has the class to overcome any obstacles in the run. The class rise is her biggest challenge.
Vienna Vixen is knocking on the door. All runs this campaign have been good without winning, and the Foxwedge mare finds a suitable assignment on Wednesday. She meets easier opposition, and she has been well supported since fields were finalised. The camp are airbourne, and her opening quote has folded faster than superman on laundry day. In the mix!
Suggested Bet: Written Story @ $12.00
