Quick Analysis:

Loved what Infant Warrior was able to do last time out at Hawkesbury, breaking her maiden as the favourite. She comes into this one as the favourite in this one as well, and jockey Deanne Panya sticks with the 3YO here. She can use her barrier speed to settle in one or two off the leader, with cover. She should be winning this one easily.

Quick Analysis:

Switching over to Port Macquarie now, and I like the look of Raised By Wolves. The gelding is on the quick seven-day turnaround, and he already has multiple wins here at the track. He has been pretty good recently without gracing the winner’s stall, including a second at Coffs Harbour by just 0.62L. He also gets a weight relief with Grady Spokes on his back.

Top Pick:

Quick Analysis:

There are a lot of live chances in the last of the day at Nowra, but I have to side with Wild Sensation, who still presents decent value at around the $5.50 mark. The gelding was pretty successful last prep, including wins, as well as a second place at this track and trip by just 0.8L. Finished midfield in his first-up run, will get a weight relief in this one.

Stats and Insights

  • Abstruse finished third at Wagga last start and comes from a strong stable. She looks a leading contender in Race 5 at Nowra.
  • Surpasser broke through for a maiden win at Wyong last start and has the class to upset the favourite. He looks a major chance in Race 5 at Port Macquarie.
  • Craig’s One placed as favourite at Port Macquarie when resuming and should take improvement from the run. He looks a leading chance in Race 6 at Port Macquarie.
