Check out our complete Monday Racing Tips for October 19th below, featuring Echuca best bets.
Sihaya is second up and primed to strike today at Echuca.
The Per Incanto mare indicated ability at the trials prior to debuting and was only denied by a very impressive Ektifire at Pakenham.
With natural improvement from that debut experience, she can go one better today.
| 9. Sihaya (8) 57.5kg2 | |||
| At debut, 2nd of 8 in a Mdn-Sw at Pakenham Synthetic on October 2 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Ektifire carrying 57.5kg at $7. Open to improvement and expected to go on with it. | |||
Idling Behind is another one whom I’m expecting good improvement from today at Echuca.
The Astern mare broke through for her first victory at Murtoa back in July and while she hasn’t recorded another victory since, several recent performances have suggested she’s on the cusp again.
In peak order today and from the good draw, I think she’ll get her chance.
| 13. Idling Behind (6) 57.5kg40734 | |||
| At the latest run ran on from midfield; 4th of 13 in a Bm56 at Kyneton on October 8 over 1856m, slow going 3 len behind Almago with 57.5kg at $41. The race before that 3rd of 12 in a Bm56 at Coleraine on September 25 over 1800m, 4.5 len behind Whistler Girl carrying 57.5kg at $13. Looking to others. | |||
Sheanadh strikes another winnable race today at Echuca.
Sheanadh returned to action to win over 1100m at Wodonga before filling the minors behind the talented Lady Maestro and Sugar Schnapps last time out.
That form has been franked and third up today, Sheanadh looks well placed to win again in my opinion.
| 3. Sheanadh (7) 59.5kg78×13 | |||
| Third-up today. First-up won by 0.8 len in a Bm56 at Wodonga on September 1 over 1100m on a rain affected track defeating Russian Sky carrying 57.5kg at $4.20. Last start ran on from midfield; 3rd of 10 in a F&M Bm56 at Tatura on September 29 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Lady Maestro with 61.5kg at $8. Likely to feature. | |||
She’s Elusive resumes in a winnable race at Echuca.
We haven’t seen She’s Elusive at the races since July, but she was a strong and consistent performer last time in, particularly early in her prep, and she recorded consecutive victories in maiden and Class 1 company most notably.
With the benefit of a nice trial performance under her belt, this looks a nice campaign launchpad for her.
| 6. She’s Elusive (12) 59.5kg1130x | |||
| Resuming after a break of three-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation when last of 12 at Sale Bm62 July 9 over 1013m, on rain affected going; 8 len behind Untapped carrying 57kg at $21. When resuming last campaign second of 9 at Swan Hill Mdn-Sw April 12 over 975m, 1.75 len behind Gunz with 56kg at $26. Will be ready to run a big race fresh. | |||
