Start the week right at The Triangle, with Redcliffe expert Oli Cownie breaking down Monday night’s eight-race card.
DOCTA FEELGOOD (1) has the gate speed to lead in this race and generally does his best work out in front. He was forced to race without cover last time out and battled on well for seventh not beaten too far behind Western Bill.
STUDLEIGH MARK (7) should get a good run through on the back of the likely leader in this race. Led last time out before handing over to Queen Lilibet before running second last time out. He should get every chance.
SHES IN LINE (4) led last time out at Marburg kicking strongly before being run down in the concluding stages by Dual Cam who had the perfect run on her back. She draws a touch awkwardly in this race but should settle close and can run well.
SPLASHNDASH (5) looks well graded in this race but does draw wide. He was shuffled back last time out at Marburg and couldn’t get into that race late.
SELECTIONS: DOCTA FEELGOOD (1), STUDLEIGH MARK (7), SHES IN LINE (4), SPLASHNDASH (5)
SUGGESTED BET: DOCTA FEELGOOD (1) to win.
| 1. Docta Feelgood (1) J: Will Rothwell 49757T: Vic Frost | |||
| Last start 7th (Fr3) over 1780m at this track, beaten 9 m by Western Bill (2:09.30) in 3yo+ on August 12 at $23. At the start before 5th (Sr1) over 1780m at this track beaten 18 m by Nautie Galvinator (2:08.20) in 3yo+ on August 3 at $5. Has the inside draw which may spark a revival. | |||
THREENTWO (1) has good gate speed and seems to love leading in her races. She led three starts ago and was run down late by Major Orion before being beaten by Champagne Walsh both horses which would likely be short priced favourites in this race.
ART OF ROCK (5) got back in the run last time out and was working through the line well in the concluding stages in a race taken out by Francs For Coming. He is likely to find this race a touch easier but does draw poorly.
CHARLIE CHUCKLES (7) should get a good run through in the early stages of this race. He secured a good run off the speed last time out and was running on well late to score. He steps up in grade but does have a good draw to offset that.
TAKE COURAGE (3) battled on well for third last time out behind Candykane at this track in what was seemingly a stronger race. She should get a good run off the speed and can be running on late.
SELECTIONS: THREENTWO (1), ART OF ROCK (5), CHARLIE CHUCKLES (7), TAKE COURAGE (3)
SUGGESTED BET: THREENTWO (1) to win.
| 1. Threentwo (1) J: Edd Bailey 4×225T: Edd Bailey | |||
| Last start was well beaten into fifth behind Candykane at this track over 1780m in a 3yo+ on August 3 at $9. Performed better the start before with a good run when 2nd (Fr3) over 1780m after showing early pace at this track beaten 7 m by Champagne Walsh (2:11.10) on July 20 at $3.90. Sure to be there at the business end. | |||
PENNIE PACKER (8) should get a good run off the speed in this race and does appear the class runner in the field. She secured a good run leaders back two starts ago and was able to run a very good second behind Art Jester who led all the way.
TAYLORS FOUR (1) has no gate speed which could see her shuffled back in the early stages of this race. She drew wide last time out at Marburg when shuffled back and ran on fairly into sixth.
ROCKTIME (9) should get a good run off the speed in this race and looks suited in this company. He was a winner five starts ago when sitting without cover at Marburg and proving too good there.
TURBO TOMMY (7) draws a touch awkwardly inside the back row which could see him shuffled back early. Drew the back row last time out at this track and was running on nicely late into seventh when not beaten too far by Theresachance.
SELECTIONS: PENNIE PACKER (8), TAYLORS FOUR (1), ROCKTIME (9), TURBO TOMMY (7)
SUGGESTED BET: PENNIE PACKER (8) to win.
| 8. Pennie Packer (2) J: Angus Garrard 76628T: Steve Furey | |||
| Last start 8th (Fr3) over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten 13 m by All Eyes On Bling (1:59.30) in 3yo+ on August 6 at $26. Before that, a solid effort when 2nd (Sr1) over 1660m at Albion Park beaten 7 m by Art Jester (1:56.20) in 3yo+ on June 22 at $8.50. Can bounce back. | |||
ROCKNROLL DA GAMA (5) drew outside the back row last time out at Marburg and was running on late into sixth behind The Casual Goose. He may be shuffled back again in this race and should be finishing it off strongly.
MILLIONDOLLAR KISS (6) secured a good run two starts ago behind the leader and battled on well for fourth behind Art Of Rock. She appears to find an easier race and should run well.
ILLBEWATCHING (8) got a good run off the speed last time out at this track and was running on late into fourth. He finds a race where there could be a genuine early tempo and could be running into it late.
SAMMYS SECRET (3) has good gate speed and should be able to find a prominent position in this race. If he can work to the lead he would likely be hard to run down.
SELECTIONS: ROCKNROLL DA GAMA (5), MILLIONDOLLAR KISS (6), ILLBEWATCHING (8), SAMMYS SECRET (3)
SUGGESTED BET: ROCKNROLL DA GAMA (5) to win.
| 5. Rocknroll Da Gama (5) J: Lola Weidemann 57456T: Lola Weidemann | |||
| Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 6th (Sr4) over 1850m at Marburg, beaten 12 m by The Casual Goose (2:18.10) in 3yo+ on August 9 at $8.50. The run before 5th (Sr4) over 2200m at Marburg beaten 6 m by Its One Life (2:50.80) in 3yo+ on July 26 at $31. Expected to be in the finish. | |||
MY ULTIMATE LOUIE (3) is usually a good front runner and appears to find a race where he could work to the lead in the early stages. He had little luck last time out when doing plenty of work in the run before copping a flat tyre.
MADAM WEST (8) was well beaten last time out but may not have been suited in a race which became a dash home taken out by La Bomba. She should be better suited if there is a more genuine tempo this time.
ROSEANNE RUBY (9) was able to lead at Marburg when run down late by Wicked Mack. She should get a good run off the speed in this race and can be running on late.
DOOLITTLE DOOZZIE (5) secured a good run off the speed last time out and was running on late into fifth. She draws wide but looks well graded in this race.
SELECTIONS: MY ULTIMATE LOUIE (3), MADAM WEST (8), ROSEANNE RUBY (9), DOOLITTLE DOOZZIE (5)
SUGGESTED BET: MY ULTIMATE LOUIE (3) to win.
| 3. My Ultimate Louie (3) J: Taleah McMullen 56889T: Mat Wright | |||
| Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr4) over 1850m after showing early speed and racing wide at Marburg beaten 60 m by Charlie Chuckles (2:20.70) in 3yo+ on August 9 at $41. The run previous 8th (Fr4) over 1780m at this track beaten 35 m by Rosarito (2:15.10) in 3yo+ on August 3 at $16. Rates highly on best form and can bounce back. | |||
ROCKS OR DIAMONDS (6) is the clear standout on class in this race but does draw widest in this race. He was well beaten last time out behind Smarter Than You and Braventreacheorus but should find this race a lot easier.
FOXFIRE EASTON (5) secured a good run off the speed last time out and was running on late into fourth behind Betterthanfederer who has since won again. He draws awkwardly and will need some luck in the run.
MY ULTIMATE VICTOR (2) led last time out and set a genuine tempo when being run down late finishing third at this track behind Western Bill and Rock Nien. He should have the gate speed to find a prominent position early in this race and should run well.
LULU LUCIFER (1) led two starts ago at Marburg and proved too good for Dual Cam who had the perfect trail leaders back. She draws well in this race but steps up in grade and will likely need a few things to go her way.
SELECTIONS: ROCKS OR DIAMONDS (6), FOXFIRE EASTON (5), MY ULTIMATE VICTOR (2), LULU LUCIFER (1)
SUGGESTED BET: ROCKS OR DIAMONDS (6) to win.
| 6. Rocks Or Diamonds (6) J: Mitch Cox 00540T: Brian Mccall | |||
| Didn’t do much last time out, 10th (Sr2) over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten 18 m by Smarter Than You (1:54.80) in 4yo+ on August 8 at $31. Before that 4th (Fr1) over 1660m at Albion Park beaten 3.5 m by Sweet Agenda (1:56.10) on July 10 at $12. Tested again. | |||
BRITTS MATE (5) looks the class runner in this field. She wasn’t beaten far into sixth two starts ago at Albion Park in a race taken out by Vincheska. She should be able to press forward and find a prominent position and should run well.
STONES (1) has good gate speed and should drive through and lead early in this race. He was able to lead last time out at Marburg and was just run down late by Charlie Chuckles.
MULLUM BOY (8) secured a good run last time out and was closing nicely late into third behind Good Word That. He is likely to get a similar run off the speed and should be running into it late.
BETTOR DREAM SWEET (3) secured a good run last time out and was finishing it off nicely into third once clear behind Taurus Bromac.
SELECTIONS: BRITTS MATE (5), STONES (1), MULLUM BOY (8), BETTOR DREAM SWEET (3)
SUGGESTED BET: BRITTS MATE (5) to win.
| 5. Britts Mate Nz (5) J: Brendan Barnes 83968T: Al Barnes | |||
| Last start 8th (Sr4) over 1850m at Marburg beaten 16 m by Wicked Mack (2:18.40) in 3yo+ on August 9 at $10. Before that, 6th (Fr2) over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten 12 m by Vincheska (1:58.70) on July 30 at $34. Can improve from a better draw. | |||
SOCIAL OUTING (8) ran on nicely two starts ago into second behind Morefuntocome which cleared out to score a dominant win. He draws well in this race to do no work early and settle close in the run and should be hard to hold out.
ARKANSAURUS (9) secured a good run off the speed last time out and didn’t finish the race off behind Head Rush. She should get a good run off the speed again in this race and can be running on late.
ROCKNROLL TOMBOY (6) went around in a recent trial at Marburg and put in a solid run there when working into it well before finishing a close up third. He draws wide and will need a few things to go his way in the run but looks capable.
TINTIN IN LOGAN (7) comes into this race first up from a spell and draws awkwardly inside the back row. Trialled up reasonably in a recent trial behind Frankie Ferocious at Albion Park.
SELECTIONS: SOCIAL OUTING (8), ARKANSAURUS (9), ROCKNROLL TOMBOY (6), TINTIN IN LOGAN (7)
SUGGESTED BET: SOCIAL OUTING (8) to win.
| 8. Social Outing (2) J: Mitch Cox 48723T: M B Cox | |||
| Two back was well beaten into second behind Morefuntocome at this track over 1780m on August 3 at $15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Head Rush at this track over 1780m on August 7 at $19. Expected to be in the finish again. | |||
