Quick Analysis:

Going against the favourite here at Canberra in this maiden as Three Wishes looks much better value. The mare finished second last time out at this track/ trip. We see her get the blinkers on for the first time, which I think will make all the difference. She’ll have to overcome the wide barrier, but the even money favourite draws even wider, so she can give this a red-hot crack.

Quick Analysis:

I reckon Referees can topple this field here at Murwillumbah today. We haven’t seen the gelding since March, but he has had a recent tick-over trial to get himself ready. He has had a short yet fairly successful career so far, with a record of 5: 1-2-1. He finished last prep with three placings, all under 1L behind the winner. The 5YO also gets some weight relief thanks to apprentice jockey Archie McColm in the saddle.

Top Pick:

Quick Analysis:

Finishing the day in Sale, and I have my eye set on Angland Lass. The mare is currently going around with odds of $4.40, which is decent enough value in what is a reasonably sized field. The 4YO broke her maiden on the first time of asking at Bendigo, and while this is a clear step up, Jye McNeil retains the ride, and they have a slight weight advantage over some of her main competitors.

Stats and Insights

  • Chicago King was narrowly beaten at the Gold Coast last start and has already won at Beaudesert this prep. He can produce a surprise result at double-digit odds in Race 5 at Beaudesert.
  • Bring The Thunder narrowly missed at long odds at Moe last start and comes from a strong stable. He can convert that promising effort into a better result in Race 5 at Sale.
  • Exceed Perfection can improve on his latest Sunshine Coast effort and represents a strong stable. He can find his best form again in Race 7 at Beaudesert.
