Quick Analysis:

Kicking things off relatively early in the day today with Pariah Flyer in Race 3 at Wagga. The mare has been in good form as of late, including a second placing last time out at Albury. She draws barrier one, which should be the place to be in the earlier races before the Heavy10 track gets all chopped up. She gets a 2kg weight relief as well, thanks to apprentice jockey Ella Bent.

Quick Analysis:

Going against the favourite here and sticking with Yuuki, who has put together some great results as of late, including two recent wins and a second placing last time out. Harry Coffey steps back into the saddle, and the pair have had success previously. The mare draws barrier three, which is another plus. Currently going around at $4.80, which presents decent value.

Quick Analysis:

Last, but certainly not least, I’m sticking with the top-rated runner in this one, Inoue. Last time out, the gelding won at this track and trip, and that one was on a Heavy-rated track as well. The 5YO won by almost 3L despite missing the jump. This one does look like a step up, but with the way he has been racing, and with JMac in the saddle, he has my tick of approval.

Stats and Insights

  • Bon Riviere chased strongly to finish second last start at Eagle Farm and looks ready to go one better. He can make the most of this opportunity in Race 5 at Eagle Farm.
  • Chillcuz returns to non-metro company and comes from a strong stable. She can make the most of the class drop in Race 6 at Murray Bridge.
  • Esha narrowly missed as the narrow favourite first-up at Eagle Farm and gets the perfect draw today. She looks ready to salute punters in Race 8 at Eagle Farm.
