BEST BET - #6 - Cranky Harry
Cranky Harry looks like the straightforward option in this race and I think he should be at something of his peak third up here. He’s had two runs back from a 20 week spell and after needing the run first up he took his time to recover before stepping out second up and when he did he ran very well over this track / trip when leading them into the home straight and beating all the challengers bar the one on his back all race who just overran him late. He looks well placed for the win here, albeit a bit short priced.
THE DANGER - #1 - Motomiss
Motomiss looks like a good challenger and on top of that I think that because of the short priced favourite we are probably getting a bit of extra value on her. She has had three runs back from a spell this time in and is starting to get close to a win, putting together back to back placings in her last two. She looks fit, better for her racing experience and ready to win now. Top chance at decent odds.
VALUE BET - #15 - Alberich (ROUGHIE OF THE DAY)
We will have to see if Alberich actually jumps as he is currently listed as an emergency for Chris Waller but if he does I am interested to see how he comes back to racing after being away for some time. He’s had just the one trial at Rosehill to ready him for the return behind some premier horses where he didn’t do much, but also wasn’t asked for much and he is a very good fresh horse, with one fresh win in three first up runs. I think that he finds a beatable field here, it’s more just a question of how much intent there is from the stable.
