Race 1 – Maiden Plate (1500m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1183739_01]
Given Time impressed on debut and looks likely in its very next start. The Waller runner draws well here and should be hard to beat.
Race 1 tip: Given Time to win ($1.60 at William Hill)
Race 2 – Class 2 Handicap (1000m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1183739_02]
And So It Goes has been rock solid this preparation, winning twice and placing in its last-start race at Class 2 level. The horse looks suited to this grading and has more than enough ability to record a third win this campaign.
Race 2 tip: And So It Goes to win ($7.50 at Neds)
Race 3 – Maiden Handicap (1100m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1183739_03]
The resuming Military Academy presents as a strong winning hope. The colt trialed beautifully at this track on March 19 and we believe it will get the job done after the five month break.
Race 3 tip: Military Academy to win ($2.75 at Sportsbet)
Race 4 – Maiden (1300m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1183739_04]
The resuming runner Sokudo is going to be the elect to beat. The runner has trialed twice leading into this, and has the best winning hope in a field littered with first starters.
Race 4 tip: Sokudo to win ($2.15 at Sportsbet)
Race 5 – Maiden (1300m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1183739_05]
Mr Plow has two second placed finishes across a pair of career starts and it looms as a huge chance here. The horse comes back after a short layoff and it should be good to go fresh.
Race 5 tip: Mr Plow to win ($2.10 at William Hill)
Race 6 – Class 2 Handicap (1600m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1183739_06]
Last-start winner Live And Free is going to be hard to beat here. The O’Shea-trained gelding torched the field at Kembla Grange by a length and a half and we think it can back it up nicely here.
Race 6 tip: Live And Free to win ($1.75 at Neds)
Race 7 – Benchmark 63 (1400m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1183739_07]
Appetizing can follow up its resuming second placing with a win. The gelding has a win at this distance in the past and we think it can go one better on the first-up performance.
Race 7 tip: Appetizing to win ($4 at Ladbrokes)
Race 8 – Benchmark 66 (1100m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1183739_08]
Tapavino looks to be a nice price based on recent performances. The Murtajill mare has not missed a placing across four runs this campaign, including a last-start win at Wyong. We’re backing it in to deliver in the last at double figures.
Race 8 tip: Tapavino to win ($12 at Crownbet)
