Quick Analysis:

Probably a little bit skinny, but boy, does Navy Nina look hard to beat here in Race 6 at Geelong. The 4YO broke her maiden here at Geelong last time out by 1.75L. That win also came on a Soft-rated track, which is what we’ll probably get here. Draws barrier three, Jamie Melham sticks and only has to carry 57kg.

Quick Analysis:

Oakfield Pluto broke his maiden first up after a market push, and he looks to go two from two here at Port Macquarie. He is the favourite once again coming into this one, but we’re getting a little more value for him now around the $2.70 mark. He looked a little green in his first career win, so expect improvement in this one.

Quick Analysis:

Toomuchinformation was almost able to get the job done last time out at Taree, but was just pipped by Amarone by 0.1L. This race shapes up to be quite similar, and the wide draw suits his race style, so there shouldn’t be any concern with that. After back-to-back narrow seconds so far this prep, Toomuchinformation is ready for the win.
