Quick Analysis:

The favourite, Bluebird Bay, deserves top spot in the mark, but I think Squeezebox can challenge at Hawkesbury, and he presents a little bit more value at the higher price. The gelding has two placings from three runs so far this prep, and from barrier two, I think he can break through for his maiden win.

9. Miss Revealing

Quick Analysis:

Sticking with the favourite here in Race 3, Miss Revealing. She kicked off her career last time out with a second place by just 0.75L at Sandown Hillside. She found the line strongly in that one, and I think the extra 100m she gets in this one looks ideal. The form from her run last time out has stood up as well, so look for a strong performance here.

Goulburn - Race 6, 5:15 PM

Top Pick: 

3. Stormbringer

$4.00 with Dabble

Quick Analysis:

I think Stormbringer can break through for his first career win here, and he currently holds a 4:0-1-2 record. We haven’t seen the 4YO since April, but he maps well in this one, likely settling in one or two off the leader with cover from barrier five. He showed promise in his last prep and I think he can deliver even better results throughout this prep.

Stats and Insights

  • tip
    Septimus has placed at Kembla Grange and already notched a Newcastle win this prep. He finds a winnable race and looks set to control the tempo in Race 1 at Goulburn.
  • tip
    Kreon was narrowly beaten when heavily backed at Goulburn. He is racing in great touch and looks ready to atone in Race 3 at Goulburn.
  • tip
    Age Of Grace comes off a strong Northam win and strips fitter again. She looks perfectly placed to go back-to-back in Race 7 at Northam.
