Quick Analysis:

There are a lot of live chances in this one, but my money’s on Drunken Sailor, who is currently paying $3.90, which gives us a little bit of value. He has been performing reasonably well so far this prep, including four top-three finishes in nine runs. He finished second last time out at Nowra, on a Heavy-rated track. Jack Martin sticks as well.

Quick Analysis:

Heading to Geelong now, and I’m going with Act Natural for this one. There are three runners currently going around with odds of $3.50 or less, and with a career record of 5: 0-4-1, I think the gelding is primed for a breakthrough performance this time out. Draws wide, so he’ll be able to stay out of trouble in a smallish field.

Quick Analysis:

In the last today in Geelong, I’ve spotted Mrs Secombe, who is currently the favourite, but there is still value around the price we’re getting for her. She drops back to a BM56 after competing in BM70 last prep (where she finished fourth). She’s tackling this one second up and should have the fitness edge on many of her competitors.

Stats and Insights

  • tip
    Spread The Love won on debut at Goulburn and with another start at the track could prove hard to beat in Race 4 at Goulburn.
  • tip
    Hell Island finished midfield last start at Kembla Grange and looks well-placed back in non-metro grade in Race 7 at Goulburn.
  • tip
    Bring Forth led throughout to win at Moe, and with two wins from six this prep looks the one to beat in Race 5 at Geelong.
