Gear Changes: More Than Perfect – Winkers First Time, Zacada – Lugging Bit Off & Standard Bit On, Polish Tiger – Winkers Off & Blinkers On
1. Kentucky Flyer: Did a lot wrong overracing at Moonee Valley to record a very nice win all things considered. Top weight is the issue.
2. Multifacets: Certainly a good type on the win two back. Last start ran okay when missed the start. Has ability to measure up.
4. Del Piero: Poro run two back but returned to form last start with an okay run at MV but still just not good enough that day.
5. Etymology: Wide margin maiden win at Pakenham last start. Wide barrier an issue but has ability.
6. Invincible Knight: Has runs on the board. Did alot wrong first up and blocked for runs. Have to take on face value. Poor barrier.
7. More Than Perfect: Solid enough maiden win third up, but this is the next step and i can’t see it occurring on the current form.
8. Tarzino: Good maiden win last start beating a talented type in Red Alto – that was on heavy, wide barrier today back to good track.
9. Zacada: Maiden winner over in NZ but first up had every chance and failed to place.
10. Del Grippa: Good enough run last start at Sandown. Have to believe he goes well again today.
11. Koolama Bay: R-58 winner last start… this is much much harder. Pass.
12. Pay Up Bro: Maiden winner.. didn’t beat much in that but had okay runs the last two. Has some ability.
14. Sailing By: Good maiden win and then a very strong 3rd to Alaskan Rose last start from on speed. Barrier 4 again today means she will have every chance.
15. Salamaat: Failed in 2YO as favourite in first prep. Got his maiden in a fairly easy class.
16. Zapurbly: Average but fair enough win first. Obviously needs to find lengths on that though.
17. Assertive Star (EM1): Decent run first up for 3.8L off in 3Y-GP3. Last start ran well also.
18. Four By Four (EM2): Couldn’t win a maiden.
Comments: Yikes. Tough way to end the day. So many form lines that you just can’t measure up here, all you can do is back the horse with the best form line which is the favourite.
Confience: 50%
Quaddie Leg Four: 1, 2, 5, 14, 17
Strategy: Sailing By to win. Smaller bet Multifacets.
