Race by race overview
Race 6
(2) Queen Amanjena ran well when resuming in a stronger race at Caulfield to finish third. She strips fitter second-up here and looks well suited dropping slightly in class. (5) Ichiberu has been consistent in her past three runs and those races rate no harder than this grade. She can find a strong position in running from barrier four. (3) Serinda was well supported when resuming and finishing third, and can improve with that run under the belt. (1) Jackie’s Maid resumed as a winner at Kyneton and while she needs to step up in grade, she rated well fresh and may be capable of doing so.
Selections:
(2) Queen Amanjena
(5) Ichiberu
(3) Serinda
(1) Jackie’s Maid
Suggested Bet: (2) Queen Amanjena (Win)
Race 7
(7) Bold Response has been a few lengths away from the winners in his past couple of starts but has the scope to improve here given he drops in grade and, importantly, maps for an ideal run up on speed where he can control the race from the front. (6) Theology won on debut before tackling a stronger race last time and can improve back in grade. (3) Freak Of Nature may be better suited dropping back to 1200m. (2) Titan Of Choice jumps from the inside barrier, should land in a good position and has a solid record at this track.
Selections:
(7) Bold Response
(6) Theology
(3) Freak Of Nature
(2) Titan Of Choice
Suggested Bet: (7) Bold Response (Win)
