Time to redeem. Only 1/12 top raters won at Ballarat, a few close seconds. But still nearly lost all my level stakes profit from HVL Sunday....
HEALESVILLE
RACE 1
7 BULLBAR JEANNE $4.23
2 IM THE COOLEST $5.22
4 SAILAWAY $5.80
3 UNFLEXABLE $7.16
8 LEDARO TED $10.92
5 CAWBOURNE ROCCO $14.98
6 STYLISH AUTUMN $18.49
10 TRINITY JACK $20.54
Plenty of early speed from #7 to lead this field as the runners around aren't the smartest beginners here.
UNFLEXABLE is drawn inside out. And IM THE COOLEST is going to benefit from that and also the #10 slow beginner. #4 has plenty of pace early if runs up to past runs. First up here.
RACE 2
7 ZEUS $3.26
5 ALLEZ BIJOUX $5.52
8 SILENT ALARM $6.82
6 JUST BLISS $8.41
1 BROTHER BAT $9.35
3 KOKO KOLA $14.25
2 COOLER THAN YOU $24.13
4 EDITHTAIL TIGER $36.78
Trainer was confident of winning with ZEUS on Sunday. Has a straight run at home so didn't bother trialing runners here before their debut. Should prove too good again today.
RACE 3
7 BROTHER HOG $3.32
8 LET ME BE $4.55
2 THYME TO RAGE $5.62
1 LIVELY MAJOR $8.57
4 SIDE BY SIDE $13.06
6 BARRABAS $14.51
5 SAPPHIRE FLEX $24.58
As woof has mentioned before SIDE BY SIDE is off his game. Found plenty of bother last start, but was slow out .... again.
Even though I have rated last, you never know what Brian's dogs are going to do here.......
Besides that. #7 must jump clear here, has drawn well in terms of runners around as the #8 will go straight and so will #6 *who will be slower out than #7. With 4,5 then on left side again, shouldn't have any problem to cross to the middle of the track in front. #2 will be running on strongly. #7 needs to run about 16.80 to win.
RACE 4
8 BRUISER NORRIS $2.84
5 WHITE GOLD $5.34
4 BIG INTENTION $7.33
6 POWERFUL FLIGHT $9.05
7 EL BLACK GALO $12.41
2 JACAS MATE $18.92
3 VELOCETTE MISS $21.02
1 JACAS MATE $32.04
Bruiser Norris is drawn well with EL BLACK GALO on inside, and then WHITE GOLD in box 5 as they will move left. EL BLACK GALO can cause trouble at the start for Bruiser Norris, but prefers the inside here most definitely. White Gold can also jump ok here, but is about 2-3 lengths behind BRUISER NORRIS by the time they hit the first split, and it is a tough box in this field.
BIG INTENTION will be the big improver in this field.
RACE 5
3 SHES OUR CAVIAR $3.41
1 NAPALM RED $3.79
5 KAYGEES GIRL $8.80
2 SUM SUM KEATS $10.87
4 PRINCE LARK $12.07
8 HI FIVE ALICE $14.91
7 CROKE PARK $20.45
6 MAXIMUM FAZZ $25.24
I am of the opinion that only 2 dogs can win this race. SHES OUR CAVIAR simply jumps and leads this field, gets out of the way from NAPALM RED who will jump awkwardly and move to the outside, but is SO SO strong here that runs a much better time than most. It has to be out of them two for mine as anything that wants to come across from out-wide doesn't jump much quicker than NAPALM and we know how tall and leggy he is, is 33kg and mostly bigger than any runner from 5,6,7,8. This just gives SHES OUR CAVIAR the best run of the race. I think #2 will miss the start and get cleaned up
RACE 6
8 BRAEMAR LASS $3.52
4 CHLOE KEATS $4.35
1 CODY SAM $5.96
2 DEMONSTROUS $8.18
3 RED SCAR BOY $13.85
5 KING KANGA $21.11
6 MAJOR NUISANCE $23.45
7 NORTHERN GUNNA $28.95
#3 RED SCAR BOY is a mad railer here, absolutely crashes across and then runs home strongly. This will trouble DEMONSTROUS who can be weak if finds trouble. Needs everything to go his way. Is drawn well, but seems to have hit a poor patch. CODY SAM wasn't that impressive last start, but gets another go here from the red. Mustn't get cramped up. This gives #4 a clear view at the start of the race. #8 gets great cover to move across and simply should motor past these by the 100m mark as they all get squeezed up on the rail.
RACE 7
1 RUNAWAY BRIDE $4.07
7 CATCHING FIRE $4.52
2 ZALDINI $6.89
6 PACEY GRACIE $7.66
5 JUST A FANTASY $11.67
4 SHIFTY MIFTY $14.41
3 VINTAGE DIAMOND $17.79
8 RUNAWAY RALFY $21.96
A difficult race this one. #6 jumps well initially did move right last time, but eventually came across to the rails. Was a slow time though, but kept going. Can improve the time. Catching Fire needs to be slow out and cross to the rails and charge through the field here to win. But there are many different styles of racing in this field. #1 can run time, drawn perfectly for mine, but runs in and out. Is on best ground. #2 needs room and will also be running on, not the speediest out. #3 has to run better than best here to figure, and with #4,5,6 on outside is going to be once again cramped.
Ralfy is simply not a Box 8 dog.
RACE 8
3 FIERY BELLE $4.15
7 ITS MANIC $5.69
6 JENMAR GENERAL $6.33
2 BOB ENLIM $7.03
1 BANDITO $8.68
8 KID CONDOR $13.22
5 BLACK BENT $14.69
4 LOOKING MAGICAL $42.14
#3,7 jump to the lead. #2 slow out but charges home late (if there is a head wind, will win). #1 needs a bit of room, but must jump ahead of #2 if is to figure in the race. #8 is better drawn inside of runners. #6 is a straight track preferred runner and last win out here was in a weaker field, but is drawn perfectly, inside a pinger, outside the railers.......
#3 is drawn inside out and that is only worry, but gets a huge benefit from 1,2 being on inside.
#4 is the only dog who cannot win this race
RACE 9
3 ONE ON ONE $2.98
2 MY SENORITA $4.54
1 BOOM BOOM SHIRAZ $6.92
6 LAZZWAHH $9.50
8 WONDER KIDS $14.47
4 COUP DE MAIN $16.08
5 FIRE WITH ICE $24.51
7 EMOTIONAL CLAIM $46.12
Early speed and perfect draw from #3 should see it winning. #2 steps left, #4 goes right and doesn't like to win it appears....
RACE 10
3 HARD DAYS NIGHT $2.38
1 MONALLEN FLYER $5.53
8 INCLUSION $8.43
7 NOWITZKI $9.36
9 LEDARO DASH $11.56
6 RONRHO $21.75
5 HARE ADDICT $40.93
4 PEE CEE TOM $62.38
Smart nominating again.
#3 should PING the lids once again and get around 6.40 for first split. That is enough to win the race. #1 is drawn well to run, and #8 should improve a few lengths with clear run. Has ability here.
Looks a good exotic betting race. Can bet the favourite to run 2nd in this race as will be unders.
