Quick Analysis:

I’m siding with the favourite, Gaeilge, in Race 5 at Sale today. The gelding was a winning first-up, in mid-January, breaking his maiden at Seymour. Last time out was a little disappointing, finishing fifth at Cranbourne. But I think a bounce-back performance is on the cards here. Trainers Anthony and Sam Freedman should have Gaeilge ready to go.

Quick Analysis:

Heading to Coffs Harbour now, and I’ll be on Aye Aye Skipper, who has been pretty impressive this prep without breaking through for a win. We last saw the gelding at Port Macquarie, where he finished second by just 0.46L. It looks like he has been building into this prep nicely, and he should break through today.

Quick Analysis:

Back to Sale now for the last race of the day, and I like the look of Sugar Schnapps. The mare draws barrier three, which looks to be favourable, and last time out, she placed at Kyneton in a BM62. Staying at the same level, she’ll be better for that run under her belt, and at odds around the $4.40 mark, there’s plenty of value to be had.

Stats and Insights

  • Toba was narrowly beaten as the favourite at Gatton last start and has a strong record at this track. He looks well placed to return to winning form in Race 5 at Gatton.
  • Arduous is coming off a strong win at Gatton and has the pace to offset a wide draw. She can make it back-to-back victories in Race 7 at Gatton.
  • Straight Fire was placed at Wagga last start and represents a stable that knows how to place them well. She looks the one they all have to beat in Race 8 at Sapphire Coast.
