Best Bet Kalgoorlie r5 Beethoven ; Was a very talented 2yo before struggling to go on with it like many other 2yo’s before him. His win first up as a 4yo was breathtaking , steaming down the outside from last. Beat a stablemate that is in red hot form that day , indicating the new stable may have worked him out. Won’t be as far back from barrier two and no one rides the track better than Yuill. Drops 4kgs for the rise in class.
Best Value Kalgoorlie r7 Bartrader; Frustrating horse to follow. Tipped and backed by yours truly all last prep where he threatened to win one at big odds however failed to get it done. The efforts were still solid though and most were in much stronger races than this. More than happy to be on each way at current odds of over 20s.
Kalgoorlie r8 Ihtsahymn; Forget his run in the Boulder Cup. Was last on the fence on straightening with 60kgs and had to run at right angles to get out before running on near the outside fence to be only beaten 4 lengths. Reeked a bit of a tune up run for the big one . Should settle much closer and class will carry him a long way . Each way.
Caulfield r6 Steel Prince; Huge in defeat last start behind one of the Caulfield Cup favourites , earning the weekly nomination for our Spring Contender series. If you can overcome barrier 20 (before scratchings) at any track it is Flemington . With little pace predicted , hopefully they roll forward and try and find a spot close to the speed. Great each way bet under those circumstances.
Flemington r7 Superstorm.; We put this one in our blackbook after his luckless run in the Rupert Clark (1400m). Looked ready to win no matter where he turned up albeit I wasn’t expecting it to jump straight to 2000m in a Turnball stakes! It’s a big ask but he is down in the weights and his form from his 3yo runs in the guineas and all star mile indicate he is not out of place in this company. Each Way.
