Marburg Harness Preview – Sunday 13th August

HUNGRY FOR MORE (1) took on a much stronger race last time out taken out by Northview Cruncha in good time at Albion Park. This filly was good running into fourth there and is likely to have derived a lot of benefit from the outing.  

TUSCANS COURAGE (4) was forced to race without cover last time out when finishing second behind Swedesboro. He could secure a similar run and should be thereabouts again.  

LIGHTYEAR (3) took on a much stronger race last time out when finishing fourth behind Medellin at Redcliffe. He should settle close in the run and can be running on late.  

WHATA SWEETY (6) didn’t run well on debut when giving ground and being beaten a big margin in sixth. The trial prior to his return was better and he may run a better race second up.  

SELECTIONS: HUNGRY FOR MORE (1), TUSCANS COURAGE (4), LIGHTYEAR (3), WHATA SWEETY (6) 

SUGGESTED BET: HUNGRY FOR MORE (1) to win.  

OLIVIA RHAYNE BOW (7) secured a good run on the pegs last time out and wasn’t beaten too far in fourth behind Dancinwith pleasure. She is likely to find this a lot easier and can be put into the race at some stage.  

KIPCHOGE (3) led last time out and was well beaten by Imasillybilly but did go well enough in third to suggest he should be hard to beat in a race of this nature. He may be able to press forward and if he found the lead he would likely be hard to beat.  

TEN AND TWO (6) secured a good run last time out and wasn’t beaten far there in second behind Hez Our Playboy at this track. He should secure a good run again and can be thereabouts.  

AZZIF (1) had an issue in her latest start which saw her well beaten there. Her trials weren’t good enough to suggest she could win a race but she has since landed back in the stable of Graham Dwyer and is worth keeping in mind from the good draw.   

SELECTIONS: OLIVIA RHAYNE BOW (7), KIPCHOGE (3), TEN AND TWO (6), AZZIF (1) 

SUGGESTED BET: OLIVIA RHAYNE BOW (7) to win.  

JILLIBY PANDA (2) has good gate speed and should find himself on the front in this race. He was seemingly quite disappointing last time out when securing a good run on the pegs and fading out of it late. He can look to bounce back.  

EBONY BELLE (7) took on a stronger race last time out taken out by Sammys Secret at Redcliffe. She draws nicely in this race and can be running on late.  

SUBTLE CHAY (4) ran fairly last time out in a heat of the showcase series when sitting leaders back and fading out of it late. He was first up there and is likely to have derived benefit from the run.  

STONES (3) has good gate speed but does draw outside of a horse with equally good gate speed which could make it hard for him to get across early. He is capable with the right run.  

SELECTIONS: JILLIBY PANDA (2), EBONY BELLE (7), SUBTLE CHAY (4), STONES (3) 

SUGGESTED BET: JILLIBY PANDA (2) to win.  

THE BLACK FOX (1) often doesn’t show a lot of gate speed which could make this draw a touch tricky. He was very good last time out when running on into second behind Britts Mate which looks good form for a race of this nature.  

MY ULTIMATE LOUIE (6) should get a good run through behind a horse which will be keen to hold a forward position in this race. He ran a reasonable third placing behind Bokhari two back before taking on a heat of the showcase series at Redcliffe.  

ROSEANNE RUBY (10) did a lot of work last time out which she isn’t suited to and was well beaten in fourth behind Britts Mate. She finds a very suitable race but does draw outside the back row this time.  

SHADYS DELIGHT (4) hasn’t started for over a month which does appear to be a significant query coming into this race. He ran well for third last time out behind Downtown Manhattan having been forced to do the work outside the leader.   

SELECTIONS: THE BLACK FOX (1), MY ULTIMATE LOUIE (6), ROSEANNE RUBY (10), SHADYS DELIGHT (4) 

SUGGESTED BET: THE BLACK FOX (1) to win.  

TEACHERS PET (1) hasn’t been racing at her best but has always been a horse which runs her best races out in front and should get that opportunity in this race. She wasn’t suited last start when sitting outside the leader in a race taken out by Vodka En Ice.  

AZOR AHAI (3) ran sixth last time out at Albion Park but wasn’t beaten far there by Galvarino. He should settle close enough in the run and appears to find a suitable type of race.  

SKYLAR BREE (6) looked particularly unlucky last time out at Redcliffe when being shuffled right back before running on strongly late into fifth. She comes into this race fourth up from a spell and lands an ideal draw.  

HOLME BOY (7) ran on strongly into second two starts ago before Wicked Mack at this track. He should get a similar run and can be fnishing it off late again.  

SELECTIONS: TEACHERS PET (1), AZOR AHAI (3), SKYLAR BREE (6), HOLME BOY (7) 

SUGGESTED BET: TEACHERS PET (1) to win.  

ONE LAST ROLL (4) raced without cover at this track recently and was a good close up second behind Absolutely Stoked. Despite getting on in age he continues to race well and loves to race at this track.  

GIDUP CAPTAIN (1) has good gate speed and should be able to drive through and lead in this race. He hasn’t led for some time but does love racing on the pegs and has performed well leading previously. 

PRINCE OF PAIN (5) appears to be a real standout on class in this race but does appear to map quite awkwardly in this race with a few runners drawn underneath likely to be keen to hold forward positions.  

LULU LUCIFER (8) should get a good run off the speed and will be needing the race run to suit to bring her into it. Her latest win came when able to lead all the way at this track.  

SELECTIONS: ONE LAST ROLL (4), GIDUP CAPTAIN (1), PRINCE OF PAIN (5), LULU LUCIFER (8) 

SUGGESTED BET: ONE LAST ROLL (4) to win.  

PUMPKIN PAT (4) has the slight barrier draw advantage on what looks to be her main danger in this race. She was able to burn through off the back row last time out to find the lead and was just run down late by Saturday Dance.  

BUDDY PERFECT (5) led and won two starts ago at Redcliffe beating Great Achiever. He looks likely to be forced to work in this race which could make things tough.  

STORMTIDE (6) looked to be a touch unlucky last time out at Redcliffe when being held up at a crucial stage before flashing into second. He should get a similar run and will just be relying on some luck at a crucial stage.  

ROCKIN SWEET (1) was able to score his latest win when leading and holding off Mach Assassin at this track. He may look to lead again in this race and should be thereabouts.   

SELECTIONS: PUMPKIN PAT (4), BUDDY PERFECT (5), STORMTIDE (6), ROCKIN SWEET (1) 

SUGGESTED BET: PUMPKIN PAT (4) to win.

DENIS THE PUNTER (2) may be able to press forward and find the lead in the early stages of this race. He is first up since July which does look a query. If he is ready to go first up he should run well.  

FLY BURRA (7) looked to be quite unlucky last start when crossed in the early stages before being held up at a crucial stage behind Absolutely Stoked. He should get a good run behind the speed in this race and can be running on late.  

STUDLEIGH ANNE (5) was well beaten last time out behind Ideal Pursuit in a race which didn’t pan out favourably for her. This race looks a bit easier than her latest outing and she can look to bounce back.  

BRITTS MATE (8) was able to sweep home over the top late to score last time out at Redcliffe. She rated reasonable time and can look to back that up in this race.   

SELECTIONS: DENIS THE PUNTER (2), FLY BURRA (7), STUDLEIGH ANNE (5), BRITTS MATE (8) 

SUGGESTED BET: FLY BURRA (7) to win.
