Read on for our Tuesday Racing Tips on September 15th, including our Moruya best bets.
HAMPTON STYLE (2) is second up into a winnable race today at Moruya.
The Snitzel mare finished on the placegetters’ heels in each of two starts during her debut prep, while she was only denied by an impressive Daylite first up this time at Goulburn.
Stripping fitter today, she can begin her journey through the grades.
| 4. Hampton Style (2) J: Jess Taylor 56kg 44×2T: Joe Cleary | |||
| Second run back. First-up after four months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 in a Ctry Mdn-Sw at Goulburn on August 23 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Daylite carrying 57kg at $3.70. Previously second-up 4th of 7 in a Mdn-Sw at Sapphire Coast on May 3 over 1405m, 6 len behind Mr Usher carrying 57kg at $9.50. Solid return and maps well. | |||
RESTLESS SPIRIT (1) is third up into a winnable race today at Moruya.
The Portland Sky gelding was a smart winner in maiden company fresh from a break before finishing on the placegetters’ heels when stepping up in grade last time out.
Fitter third up today and with options from the rails draw, he can win again.
| 8. Restless Spirit (1) J: Dale Cole 53kg 79×14T: Keith Dryden & Libby Snowden | |||
| Third-up today. Resuming favourite; was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 1.0 len in a Super Mdn at Forbes on August 2 over 1300m defeating Trofeo with 57.5kg at $2.25. Second run from a spell 4th of 9 in a Cl1 at Goulburn on August 23 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Skirmish with 55kg at $2.40. Maps well and can take this out. | |||
SACRED MISTRESS (5) steps out today a fit horse and with winning claims once more.
The Luke Pepper-trained mare is yet to strike in three runs back from a break, but she’s undoubtedly improved with each start and was last seen running on to finish fourth in a similar race out at Wagga.
In peak order today and from the good draw, she can find a nice position in the run before calling on her turn of speed again.
| 1. Sacred Mistress (5) J: Brodie Loy 61.5kg 8×064T: Luke Pepper | |||
| At the latest run 4th of 10 in a Bm58 at Wagga on August 27 over 1600m, on heavy track; 3 len behind Blow On The Dice with 58kg at $14. Before that 6th of 8 in a Ctry Bm66 at this track on August 16 over 1425m, in the wet; 14 len behind Triptolemus carrying 59kg at $7. Thereabouts last time and the senior rider goes back on, keep safe. | |||
COUGARS (5) is third up into a winnable race today at Moruya.
The Flying Artie gelding finished fourth, beaten a little over two lengths on the Acton track at Canberra when resuming before returning an improved performance to finish closer last time out.
Fitter third-up and in arguably a weaker race today, he looks to get plenty of ticks.
| 3. Cougars (5) J: Brodie Loy 60.5kg 34×44T: B Joseph & P & M Jones | |||
| Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming ran second last in a small field in a Tab Fed Open 85 at Canberra Acton on August 7 over 1080m, 2.5 len behind Action King with 53.5kg at $2.90. Second-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 11 in a Tab Fed Open at Canberra on September 4 over 1300m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind Hurry Miss with 56kg at $2.80. Holding his form and set to peak. | |||
