Quick Analysis:

Kicking Tuesday off at Ballarat Synthetic with Surreal I Am. There are a lot of live chances in this one, so we’re getting decent enough value for the 6YO. We haven’t seen the gelding since mid-July, but he has been geared up for this one with a recent trial. Last time out, Surreal I Am won at this track and trip. This one does look like a step up, but he is good enough to claim back-to-back wins.

Quick Analysis:

Heading to Tamworth now, and I have my eye on Always A Rainbow. The mare is currently the favourite, and I’m hoping she can redeem herself from last time out at Moree, where she went down as the narrow favourite by just 0.54L. Ben Looker retains the ride, and while they do draw wide-ish, she is yet to finish outside the top three in her five career attempts.

Quick Analysis:

I’ve had a soft spot for Stallone for a while, and the gelding comes into this one second-up after kicking off his prep in the best way possible. Hopefully, he has turned a corner, because he hasn’t been the easiest to watch in the last prep. He may have to lug around the equal-top weight, but he does draw the rails. Kerrin McEvoy sticks from last time out as well.

Stats and Insights

  • Calzino comes off a solid third at Quirindi after winning there at his previous start. He is good enough to challenge the favourite in Race 2 at Tamworth.
  • Wolfgang led throughout for a dominant win at Emerald and has now won three of six starts this campaign. He can carry that strong recent form into Race 3 at Rockhampton.
  • Next Stop Jupiter returned with a maiden victory at Rockhampton and has already shown an affinity for the track. She can build on that first-up success in Race 5 at Rockhampton.
