Quick Analysis:

Starting the day off in Taree with Dancingontherosso. She was the favourite in her first career run at Tuncurry and saluted for punters. We are getting better odds for this this time out, as this looks like a slightly more challenging race, but I still think she’s got the goods to claim back-to-back wins. Gets a fairly significant weight relief as well.

Quick Analysis:

Switching over to Swan Hill now, and I like the look of Where’s My Sock, who has a lot of experience here at this track. She finished second by just 0.06L at Seymour last time out, and that was after a winning effort at Ararat. She comes into this one fourth up and hasn’t finished lower than second yet. The clear favourite in my eyes.

Quick Analysis:

For the last of the day at Swan Hill, I’ll be taking a shot on Reward The Sheriff, who still presents a smidge of value in my opinion. Swan Hill is his home track, and he has recent form here, including a win last time out as the favourite. He gets no favours with the draw, but jockey Logan McNeil and Reward The Sheriff have a good thing going, so let’s hope it continues today.

Stats and Insights

  • Hot Cocoa broke through for a strong win first-up at Townsville and has already proven herself at the track. She looks well placed again in Race 4 at Townsville.
  • Shyamalan has been in strong form this campaign and continues to race consistently. He looks the one they’ll all have to catch in Race 6 at Queanbeyan.
  • Thirteen Under is chasing four straight wins after a dominant run of form. He looks the one to beat again in Race 7 at Townsville.
