Quick Analysis:

Starting today early in Port Macquarie with Deep Stealth, who comes into this one as the favourite. She draws barrier one, which only helps her chances. We haven’t seen the mare since December, but she’s been at two trials recently, and I rate her highly. I can’t really make a case for anyone else coming close.

Quick Analysis:

Staying in Port Macquarie for my second-best bet of the day. Stern Dispute looks to hold a smidge of value, currently going around the $3.80 mark. While he hasn’t produced anything since his maiden win, I think he finds a much easier race today. Jean Van Overmeire also takes over in the saddle, and I think the pair can fire here.

Quick Analysis:

Switching over to Hobart now, late in the day, and I’m a little surprised at the value we’re getting for Hurricane Ketut, especially considering he draws barrier two. I thought he would be a little short, but I’ll take the value while it’s still on the table. He has been in winning form this prep, and last time out, he finished third. There’s a lot to like.

Stats and Insights

  • Spirit Of Barty resumes from a spell and has shown plenty of ability early in the career. She looks the standout in Race 5 at Gatton.
  • Wiluna Lass drops back to non-metro grade and has been competitive this prep. She looks a leading chance in Race 5 at Albany.
  • Lario led throughout for a strong win last start and has been in good form this campaign. He looks the one to beat in Race 7 at Seymour.
