OUR BEST
SR4 H7 NINGALOO STAR($4); could be this gallopers race. Ticks a few boxes here track, distance and handles all conditions. We would expect him to be on speed again (comfort zone) and might just put a space on them at the distance.
NINGALOO STAR($3.80); 6th beaten 4.7L, making a run in the straight stopped in his tracks at the distance. Balanced up and ran on strongly the last 100M.
MR9 H8 AWASH($7.50); this horse has a nice record and he certainly relishes this course. He can mix his racing pattern and we wouldn’t be surprised to see him from gate 1 to be right on the speed. If he is watch out.
AWASH($7.50); DH 2nd/$2.10 place beaten 0.2L, probably should have won thats racing.
BR10 H1 GO WANDJI($4.80); third time to the well for this galloper but geez you would have to suggest he was unlucky both times. He needs to be out of traffic and a full head of steam at the distance. Maybe a little closer this time.
GO WANDJI($5); 6th beaten 4.9L, not good enough at 3rd run . Nice run in transit pulled wider to avoid traffic but only ran on fairly. Fresh hoes in our opinion.
SR10 H3 ROBUSTO($8.50); it has been a scratchathon with this horse. Likes the give in the ground and this is his distance. He will probably sit just off the pace here for one last fling. Tommy Berry on a plus.
ROBUSTO($12); FIRST GIDDYUP!!! pretty good ride this one, caught 3 wide early just allowed to drift one back until one off . On the move just before the turn with a full head of steam as they straightened. GIDDYUP!!!
SUMMARY: disappointed in Our Best last week but still a good day all round for other players. Down South today are all Benchmark races so it will be tough going with very even fields. So price should be no deterrent today. We will have a look at the Falvelon Quality over 1200M. at Eagle Fram. Spacewalk($4) looks a very good chance here with 59kgs. The distance is ideal and the track should be Good by the time this race comes around (he handles soft). Shinn will have him right on Zarastro’s hammer here ready to pounce big time at the distance. Speaking of Zarastro($3.20) this horse has gone to another level since he has lobbed in Brisbane. Straight to the front again and hard to run down even with 3 kgs more. Nettuno($6.50) won well first up and okay 2nd up. Likely to nestle mid field nice horse will be hitting the line hard. Rubiquitous($14) will roll up on the speed and certainly won’t lay down at the business end. Very fit. Legal Esprit($13) consistent horse always a chance when ridden closer to the speed. Spacewalk might just be too good today. As we know the dynamics of racing has changed big time the last few years. Huge fields mainly due to the fact they pay up to 10th place. With anything up to 8 emergencies so the fields stay huge unlike past days with a maximum of 3. Dual acceptors all over the shop and some entered in anything up to 4 races. Big stables dominating and suppressed markets. It’s all happening and we will be back Magic Million day 13th January 2024. An absolute cracker here on the Goldie today. On that note have a Merry Xmas and a Happy safe and healthy New Year. ” GOOD LUCK” to all members today and remember racing is great entertainment so ” ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR RACING” CHEERS from Kerry & Dan Horsebuck$
