A horse that interest me is Silfra (9/1) in the 1st. A filly against the boys. She appears to have been going okay in her last run until she took a bump at the 200m mark. I think it's quite a clever move by Rivalland, who incidentally only has the one runner on the day, in that she gets the sex allowance of 2.5kgs and in addition he has secured the services of a 4.0kg claiming apprentice. In order to pull this off, the appie must allow the filly to stride, don't hang around with the pack - he'll either put them to the sword or fall in a heap, but it's worth a go.
In the last race I think Assegai will be rewarded for his consistency. He has done well against some decent sorts, from a good draw and with the blinkers fitted, I make him the one to beat.
I have taken the Murray double, Silfra X Kept Secret (in the 4th). Any improvement on it's last run over 1200m and she could go close, this is a very average lot.
Guessing has never been widely acclaimed as a good gambling strategy.
