Quick Analysis:

With Winter Hail being the heavy favourite coming into this one, there isn’t actually a lot of value around him. He’s definitely one for the multis or wider exotics, though. The 4YO broke his maiden last time out at Narrandera by almost 4L, and he looks primed to go one with it again here. With a career record of 8:1-2-2, he has always been there or thereabouts.

NZ$5.50 with 22Bet

Quick Analysis:

With a few scratchings already, we’re down to nine runners for this one. It’s looking like the track may be in the Heavy-rated zone for this one, and if that’s the case, Racetothebottom looks ideal. The gelding already has a win and a placing in just three attempts on a Heavy-rated track. And most recently, he finished top three at this track and trip. At $5.50, he presents decent each-way odds.

Quirindi - Race 7, 6:40 PM

Top Pick: 

4. Star Whisperer

Quick Analysis:

In the final race today at Quirindi, I have my eye on Star Whisperer. The gelding kicked off his prep with a win at Muswellbrook. He didn’t really perform last time out at Rosehill, but this race looks a lot more suitable. The track conditions suit, and there’s a drop in class as well. Drawing barrier five isn’t the worst, and he is capable of winning against this competition.

Stats and Insights

  • Calzino comes off a strong Quirindi victory and represents the Scott Singleton stable. He can back up that performance in Race 3 at Quirindi.
  • Jacka Stands Alone resumes for a strong stable and has already shown he can perform well fresh. He can make a winning return in Race 5 at Warwick.
  • Redcloud has been racing consistently this prep and is well placed from the inside draw. He can take plenty of beating in Race 9 at Warwick.
