Handy off pace, well tried straight but couldn't finish off. Jockey eased up when beaten. Only 4.3 lengths from winner and came in from $61 to $20 Bet Easy FO. One to watch for the future. Will improve with race (perhaps when blinkers removed )
Have a Tommy bet for you all. Liked Just In Time last night at Doncaster, paid $13 on Bet Easy. Was going to put it up but don't really know the horses there and it was late in the evening. Not sure if it had blinkers. You're welcome.
what a great sight seeing the grey/snowy horse grind his way into the lead...brilliant ride to bide time then watch them come back to him as he picked them off.
Nothing jumps out at me. If I had to have a pick perhaps Race 10 #9 Artiste. Currently at $7 but perhaps a $10 shot. Has ability and expect a good run.
Very unlucky last start, nominated for The Metropolitan and the Melbourne Cup. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a minor laceration to the inside of the near fore cannon.
Damn...
OUR MATRIARCH – When questioned regarding performance rider advised that the mare had felt a little indifferent in its action. A subsequent veterinary inspection revealed lameness in the right fore. Connections were advised that a veterinary clearance will be required prior to the next start.
Race 5: Keep It Up has had only one run and was in all sorts of trouble when crowded then saddle slipped and rider lost irons. Nice 2nd at Foxton trials 28 Aug. 2018. Possibly better for the run but keep onside
Race 1: Our Matriarch put in a game performance 4 starts back when 2nd this track and distance in the maiden highweight. No chance with clear winner but did a bit in the race and game to the line. Not far away last start. Should go well.
