A very uninspiring card.

Race 5: Novice Handicap 1600m

#1 BRENDAN JAMES (14-10) grabbed my attention when 3rd in a Graduation over this trip two runs ago. He was 6 points out at the weights with the winner and 13 with the 2nd horse, so he looks potentially well-in off a mark of 79. He also had to be steadied 200m from home as the winner came through the gap, but he re-gathered and stayed on again late. He lacked a finishing burst last time when upped in trip, but back over 1600m he should have the measure of this field off his current rating. My only negative is that after changing stables he’s been fitted with blinkers for the first time and I hate it when a runner already has the form to win, but the equipment gets changed. I’d like to see him go to start before making a final assessment on him and I wouldn’t be rushing to take 14-10 anyway.

#3 CORAPI (22-10) is a big runner off his current mark, but I do think he may be at his best over a bit shorter. #4 KENTALLEN BAY (33-10) improved nicely to win comfortably last time, but that was a weak race so it’s tough to know where he fits in here.

Update: The stable says #1 has shown improvement fitted with blinkers.

SELECTION: I expect #1 to win if he isn’t negatively affected by the blinkers. Watch him going to start to see how he goes down.

.....that about sums it up.....will save my ammo for tomorrow....which will certainly be very entertaining in that GallopTV cant at this point get the broadcast feed and 4Q are going to try some rather inspiring camera work and on the fly editing.....

Morning all

Humble runs today.
The distance might be short but he did win his maiden over 7 furlongs.
He has the best jock and Smanga knows the horse.
He is well and I expect him to win or go close In this reasonably weak field.
His price allows a decent ew to cover your bet.

Good Punting

Tremendous finish by Central City to get up.

According to the tote more value on a place than a win lol

3/10 must have caused many heart spasms.
