I guess an ATC with first 4 favs


Good punting

Seems today is Punter's Benefit day :dry:

Race 5 - Animal Lover on her run to Chariot of Gold would have a fair chance. The extra should suit.

Alnasl to trouble the second race fav

Imo some of the favorites have been priced up too short;

Tia in the second SHOULD appreciate the step up in trip, if not, who knows - Generoso at least is guaranteed to get the trip, so imo looks a bit of value at 12s

Chimichuri Run another who imo should not be odds-on; being out of a staying dam, the 1000 could be a problem imo - but on the other hand nothing really jumps off the page as a danger (not sure that either the Clairvoyance or Blenderhead form is that strong); Pearl of Siberia gets a 4 kg allowance and could maybe be joker in the pack along with the first timer Ice Eater (trainer comment 'should run well')

Urban Oasis's penultimate run was good and it does look that she will be hard to beat; Queen of War held by a few on her last run, but I think she will turn the tables on those with a more patient ride this time

Both Liverpool Lass and New Zealand have wide draws to overcome, so the 9/2 about Animal Lover appeals to me; she has a nice draw and runs like the 2000 will be right up her ally

The betting in the 6th looks spot on as both Viburnum and Psychic come off good maiden wins; Viburnum especially in only his 3rd start looks to have plenty going for him

Prince Swarofski in the 7th at around 2/1 looks another good bet; slightly disappointing last time but the jock lost his reins (and the ride today), so should prove hard to beat; Alssakhra gets a 4kg allowance and should make PS run, but I think PS will run him down

The last race looks the hardest on the card; but imo Written is nicely priced - she did win her last two in convincing fashion - effectively (with Schwarz losing his allowance) she goes up 3 kgs in the weights - but still looks pretty handily weighted; Fish River Canyon the main danger and Rose Water should be in the places as well, while Vanilla Orchid is upset material

A 'trying to beat the obvious P6':
