2. Badajoz: O’Shea runner. First prep measured up behind the top quality runners in 2YO grade. First up run at Canterbury was more than enough to see an improved run here with two weeks between runs. They simply got away with murder out front which cost him the race. Looks well in against this lot.
3. Constant Justice: Going through the grades today. Won two in a row with a maiden and then BM-64 on a firm track as well. Looks a handy type with a good turn of foot.
5. Miss Gidget: Two horrible runs since winning her maiden on speed off a slow tempo. Hard to see the improvement here but we know she has class on previous preps runs.
6. Billabong Babe: Form horse. Won her maiden with ease three runs back and since has measured up at the top level with a close 2nd to Miss Idyllic in 3YO grade and then a very gutsy win out front last start at Moonee Valley. Fast horse and will be on speed and hard to get past.
7. Heatherly: Three runs last prep and looked a very good type on what we saw, running times. Barrier 14 so will have to work to get a position. Weighted well enough if she has trained on.
8. Bellomo: Maiden winner last prep then no good behind a few good types at Flemington the next start. Others preferred on form to win.
9. Cool Snitzel: Nice enough maiden winner in first prep at Moe. Tongue over bit when well backed in 2YO-LR grade the next start. Decent enough time at Morphetville last start to win an easier race from on speed. A month between runs to train on also. Evil Dreams has come out and won since in harder class and Validate ran well since also and Caro Kann won since in harder company. Respect form horse.
10. My Passport: Hawkes runner. Nice enough win start to finish at Bendigo last start. Time was only fair, will have to improve on that run. Expect to lead from the 1 today, but i wouldn’t be shocked if Heatherly and Billabong Babe take him on for the lead.
12. Scatter Blast: Easy win at Dunkeld first up in a high priced maiden race. Looks a nice type. Need to see the run today though.
14. Moss Go Now: Couldn’t win a maiden!
Comments: Certainly some value to be had in this race. Billabong Babe is the real deal and the $9+ available is over the correct odds. The same can be said for Cool Snitzel at the $7.50. Heatherly and Badajoz do look the horses to beat but both are under the odds. Scatter Blast also looks a big price and goes into the Quaddie.
Confidence 70%
Quaddie Leg One: 6, 7, 9, 12
Strategy: Back Billabong Babe and Cool Snitzel to win.
