Continue the week right at The Triangle, with Redcliffe expert Oli Cownie breaking down Wednesday’s night’s nine-race card.
SHEER VITALITY (5) lands in the stable of Donny Smith and may be an improver first up. She was a winner three starts ago when showing good gate speed before taking them all the way there. She should run well.
MISTER SEASIDE (9) should get a good run off the speed in this race. He has impressed so far in his QLD starts having recorded two good placings before a sixth last time out when beaten by Beachbabe Crocker and Timmyteo.
WESTERN BILL (1) was able to secure the perfect run last time out at this track and was able to sprint best to score beating Ultimate Ark. He draws ideally and should be able to lead before having options.
BIZZIE LIZZIE (7) took on a field with depth last time out and was beaten by Fifty Three Stars when leading. She should get a good run through early in this race and can be running on late this time.
SELECTIONS: SHEER VITALITY (5), MISTER SEASIDE (9), WESTERN BILL (1), BIZZIE LIZZIE (7)
SUGGESTED BET: MISTER SEASIDE (8) to win.
| 9. Mister Seaside (3) J: Greg Bennett 8×236T: Graham Dwyer | |||
| Last start 6th (Fr3) over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten 13 m by Beachbabe Crocker (1:55.80) in 3yo on July 28 at $11. Before that, a solid effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 2138m at Albion Park, beaten 12 m by Bennydasook (2:32.00) in 3yo on July 21 at $3.50. | |||
STILLYOURSHOT (2) burned to the front last time out at this track running a quick first quarter before taking control and holding off short priced favourite Rock Nien. He should be able to work to the front again in this race and should be very hard to beat with an easier lead.
FLYING COLOURS (5) drew well last time out in a strong race when setting a strong tempo out in front before getting a touch tired late when running third in fast time. He may be left to do the work this time but should be hard to beat again.
GLENEAGLE VEE CEE (8) drew poorly last time out and was shuffled a long way back before running on fairly late. He has since had over a month off and comes into this race fresh. He should run on well late.
FIFTY THREE STARS (4) completed a hat-trick of wins last time out at Albion Park when sitting without cover and proving too good for Our Sweet Jess. This looks a big step up in grade but he has been racing particularly well.
SELECTIONS: STILLYOURSHOT (2), FLYING COLOURS (5), GLENEAGLE VEE CEE (8), FIFTY THREE STARS (4)
SUGGESTED BET: STILLYOURSHOT (2) to win.
| 2. Stillyourshot Nz (2) J: Grant Dixon 76451T: Grant Dixon | |||
| Last start posted a big 5 m win after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (2:08.10) beating Rock Nien in 3yo+ on July 29 at $9. | |||
LOCHINVAR JEWELLS (4) copped plenty of pressure two starts ago over the 2280 at this track when battling away well for third behind Bettors Moon and Dual Cam. She is likely to be much better suited stepping back in trip in this race and should run well.
THE TIGER ARMY (8) worked early last time out and was able to secure a good position up on the speed when running on into second behind Amillionchances over the 2138 at Albion Park. He should get a good run off the speed and can be running on again.
TURBO TOMMY (9) got back in the run last time out and was running on well behind Stillyourshot to finish into fifth. He is likely to get a good run off the pace in this race and should be running on well.
QUIK CHANGE (7) draws a touch awkwardly inside the back row in this race. He got back last time out and was running on well into fifth behind Western Bill.
SELECTIONS: LOCHINVAR JEWELLS (4), THE TIGER ARMY (8), TURBO TOMMY (9), QUIK CHANGE (7)
SUGGESTED BET: THE TIGER ARMY (8) each way.
| 8. The Tiger Army (2) J: Leonard Cain 72302T: Ryan Veivers | |||
| Two back was well beaten into tenth behind Dipped In Silver at this track over 2040m in a 3yo+ on July 24 at $1.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Amillionchances at Albion Park over 2138m in a 3yo+ on July 30 at $5.50. | |||
OUR ULTIMATE MILLY (2) should be able to work to the lead in the early stages of this race. The last time she was able to lead she was well beaten by Oakley Shard and has since been spelled. She worked home nicely in a recent trial and should run well on return.
ULTIMATE ARK (9) was able to lead last time out at this track and was forced to work hard early before being run down by Western Bill. He should get a good run off the speed in this race and can be running on late if the race is run to suit.
AT THE POINTY END (5) was able to lead and score a good win recently at Marburg. She was running on fairly last time out in a race taken out by Fifty Three Stars.
HEZA MAYWYN (7) was able to work off the pegs and run on into second behind Ynobe Nova last time out. He should get a good run again in this race and will be working home well if he can get into the clear at the right time.
SELECTIONS: OUR ULTIMATE MILLY (2), ULTIMATE ARK (9), AT THE POINTY END (5), HEZA MAYWYN (7)
SUGGESTED BET: OUR ULTIMATE MILLY (2) to win.
| 2. Our Ultimate Milly (2) J: Greg Bennett 7855xT: Ricky Thurlow | |||
| First up. At the last run she 5th (Sr2) over 2138m at Albion Park beaten 25 m by Matteo (2:34.70) on March 27 at $15. | |||
ROCKY LEIGH (9) got back in the run last time out when getting back before making a break and losing plenty of ground before running on well at the finish. He draws to get a good run off the speed in this race and should be running on well again.
SHEZ A WARRIOR (1) was able to come from off the speed last time out and prove too good there at this track over the 1780. She has early speed which should see her able to drive through and lead before having options from there.
PRINCE JOY (4) was able to lead last time out before controlling things in front and being run down late finishing third. He draws a touch awkwardly this time and may be forced to do some work in this race.
SMIRKS LIKA BOSS (5) was able to put in an impressive run two starts ago when running on strongly behind Art Of Rock. He may get back in the run in this race and should be running on.
SELECTIONS: ROCKY LEIGH (9), SHEZ A WARRIOR (1), PRINCE JOY (4), SMIRKS LIKA BOSS (5)
SUGGESTED BET: ROCKY LEIGH (9) to win.
| 9. Rocky Leigh (3) J: Brendan Barnes 82768T: Gemma Hewitt | |||
| Didn’t do much last time out, 8th (Sr3) over 2040m at this track beaten 10 m by Grigora (2:32.80) in 3yo+ on July 29 at $12. Before that was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr5) over 1660m at Albion Park beaten 6 m by Lets Go Bailey (1:58.30) in 3yo+ on July 23 at $41. | |||
ART OF ROCK (2) was able to lead and win at this track and trip two starts ago when holding off the late challenge of Smirks Lika Boss. He should be able to work to the lead early and will take running down again.
DIGBY DEVIL (1) was able to secure the ideal run leaders back last time out when running on nicely late into second behind Grigora. He should secure a similar run in this race and can be running on late again.
FRANCS FOR COMING (4) got back in the run last time out and was running on nicely late into fifth behind Vincheska at Albion Park. He might be shuffled back again and should be running on late.
TERRAGONG SWINGER (8) was able to secure the ideal run behind Swift Code and battled on reasonably for third in what was a stronger race. He comes into this race third up and is likely nearing peak fitness.
SELECTIONS: ART OF ROCK (2), DIGBY DEVIL (1), FRANCS FOR COMING (4), TERRAGONG SWINGER (8)
SUGGESTED BET: ART OF ROCK (2) to win.
| 2. Art Of Rock (2) J: Tamara Battle 60410T: Ben Battle | |||
| Failed to impress last start; 10th (Fr3) over 2040m at this track, beaten 17 m by Grigora (2:32.80) in 3yo+ on July 29 at $7.50. Showed ability the run before when he won by a nose as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (2:32.30) beating Smirks Lika Boss in 3yo+ on July 22 at $1.90. | |||
ROYAL WINKLE (1) has excellent early speed and should be able to drive through and lead in the early stages. He led five starts ago and was able to take them all the way there at Albion Park. He worked home nicely late last time out into third and looks ready to win.
LA BOMBA (7) put in a better run last time ou
when working into fifth behind Favreau. She looks likely to get a good run through early behind the potential lead and should get every chance to bounce back.
LITTLE WHIPPET (3) ran a good second three starts ago when running on well behind Rally Around. He should get a good run close to the speed in this race and can look to run on late again.
MALIBU DREAM (6) is likely to be shuffled back from a wide draw in this race. She was shuffled back last time out and ran into midfield late. She would appreciate a genuine tempo which could bring her right into the race.
SELECTIONS: ROYAL WINKLE (1), LA BOMBA (7), LITTLE WHIPPET (3), MALIBU DREAM (6)
SUGGESTED BET: ROYAL WINKLE (1) to win.
| 1. Royal Winkle (1) J: Leonard Cain 19963T: Errol Cain | |||
| Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Yogi at this track over 1780m in a 3yo+ on July 17 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Favreau at this track over 1780m in a 3yo+ on July 29 at $21. | |||
PERFECT LOU (5) secured a good run on the pegs last time out and loomed strongly before just being run down late by Pleasant Heights. He draws the front row in this race and has plenty of early speed. If he can lead he would likely take some running down.
LONGSHOT (9) was able to secure a good run off the speed last time out and worked home nicely into fourth late. He should get a similar run off the speed in this race and would appreciate a genuine early tempo.
LAST HAND (4) was badly checked early last time out when on debut and may be worth forgiving for the effort there. He had trialled up just fairly before his debut but does find a much weaker race here and is likely to have derived benefit from his latest outing.
WICKED BERRIES (6) was able to lead last time out from a good draw and was just run down late by Pleasant Heights and PERFECT LOU (5) which she comes up against again in this race. She draws wide which could make things tricky early.
SELECTIONS: PERFECT LOU (5), LONGSHOT (9), LAST HAND (4), WICKED BERRIES (6)
SUGGESTED BET: PERFECT LOU (5) to win.
| 5. Perfect Lou (5) J: Graham Dwyer 24222T: Graham Dwyer | |||
| Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Usual Suspect at this track over 1780m on July 22 at $13. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second behind Pleasant Heights at this track over 1780m on July 29 at $10. | |||
SWEDESBORO (1) was able to lead last time out and was just run down late by Kiss Me Like This who secured a great run behind the speed. She joins the stable of Ron Sallis in this race and is likely to have benefited from her latest outing at the track.
DISEMBARK (7) should get a good run through behind the likely leader in the race. He was forced to race without cover last time out in a race taken out by Kiss Me Like This.
BAILAORA (8) got badly checked last time out and made a break as a result. She had been racing well prior to last start having run a good fourth behind Harry The Hat her start prior at this track.
AESTHETE (5) was eye catching on debut when running on nicely late in a race taken out by Blackjack Sam. He is likely to get back in the run in this race and should be running on late.
SELECTIONS: SWEDESBORO (1), DISEMBARK (7), BAILAORA (8), AESTHETE (5)
SUGGESTED BET: SWEDESBORO (1) to win.
| 1. Swedesboro (1) J: Tom Callaghan 783T: Ron Sallis | |||
| Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Tiny Prancer at Menangle over 1609m in a 2yo on July 14 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Kiss Me Like This at this track over 1780m in a 2yo on July 29 at $26. | |||
