A very disappointing week last week with plenty of tips finishing 2nd but we will learn from our mistakes and move on. A sensational 12 race program is set for tonight including the final of the Victorian National Sprint at Sandown Park and we have found a couple of nice selections to kick start our weekend.
On the very first race of the night which is a maiden final I’m selecting IMMEN BALE from the good draw to come out on top and break his maiden. Has had 4 career starts for 4 placings but I feel from the inside draw he can take home the winners cheque tonight. Main danger is the 4 LILA BALE who recorded a very smart 29.71 heat win here but just think we can steal this from the good draw.
WIN BET – IMMEN BALE
ALPHA LUCKY absolutely bombed the start here last week when we were on each way and giving the best dogs in the country a 4 or 5 length head start its always going to be tough to recover. He lines up again here in race 5 and drawing box 8 really suits him. If he can bring his best box manners then he is going to be very hard to stop. Hopefully we see the real ALPHA LUCKY tonight!
WIN BET – ALPHA LUCKY
Race 6 is the final of the Victorian National Sprint which is set to be an absolute cracker of a race! Class everywhere you look! I am going to play it safe and have half a unit each way on BEWILDERING (5) for trainer Seona Thompson who actually has 3 runners in the final. I think BEWILDERING is better suited to a middle draw with the hoop arm lure and if he can settle in the top 4 early he will be charging home late. Cant wait watch this one!
EACH WAY BET – BEWILDERING
In race 8 on the program I am selecting WORM BURNER on top. He was super super unlucky last week in the heats of the nationals and I think from box 1 tonight he will lead all the way and show why he is one of the best chasers in the land. Even if he doesn’t lead from the likes of YARRAMAN ACE (5) and STRIKER LIGHT (8) I think he will be far to strong and classy.
WIN BET – WORM BURNER
Hopefully we can bring home a few winners this week!
Good luck & happy punting!
