Tuesday 17th October – Horse Racing
A surprisingly strong days racing this Wednesday with the Gosford and Ballarat Cup meetings the main attraction.
Our Early Mail selections are:
3.20pm – Ballarat Race 7 – 5. DE FINE LAGO (Horse Managed Fund 4% Win)
4.57pm – Gosford Race 7 – 5. KEEPIN’ THE DREAM (Horse Managed Fund 3% Win)
7.40pm – Pinjarra Race 7 – 6. ROSMOPOLITAN (Horse Managed Fund 2% Win)
I’m very keen to see the price and the run of a former Blackbooked horse of mine in SADAYAKKO in the 7th at Murray Bridge. This horse used to run around in Newcastle and was an extremely fast finisher but then just went off the rails. The horse has now been shifted interstate and in the hands of the very capable John Hickmott so I am expecting big things.
As for the 2 cup races I like DAKA’S GEM in the Ballarat Cup. This horse has been in very consistent form in weaker races but drops a couple of kg’s here and has a great record at the track and distance. I also wouldn’t count out the Bart Cummings trained DANDAAD who was very strong in the Geelong Cup before being blown away (Like everyone was) by Shocking on Derby Day in the Lexus. Another who I give an outside chance to because he should get a dream run is SYLVAIN O’REILLY and is nice odds around the $13 mark.
In the Gosford Cup the markets have been sent into a spin with the late scratching of early favourite FAULCONBRIDGE. This now brings my early mail selection in KEEPIN’ THE DREAM right into contention. Keepin’ the Dream has been finishing its races off strongly and will appreciate the step up to 2100m. Is a deserved favourite now. COMMON OBJECTIVE has a strong record at the track but recent performances haven’t impressed me enough to include amongst the chances. Had BALGAGARNEY drawn better I might have been more tempted to pick him to challenge for the win. Gosford is a great front runners track but from barrier 12 he might have some difficulty getting over. If it does (without too much difficulty) and you are near a betfair account and they are in running betting then get on cause he will be hard to run down. It may also opt to take the sit behind DOTHIS DOTHAT as there is plenty of speed from other horses in the field.
RESULTS
We got off to a flying start with DE FINE LAGO ($3.80) winning nicely for a great return to start the day. Keepin’ the Dream was a bit disapoiting in the Gosford Cup then we just missed the chocolates with our third selection ROSMOPOLITAN running 2nd. All said and done it was still a comfortable 6% profit for the managed fund for the day.
