Race 8 – 6:00PM AUSTRALIAN TURF CLUB SPRINT (1000 METRES)


9. Laburnum looks the good thing of the day off an outstanding trial and it’s significant she’s been kept fresh with three weeks since the trial. She mixed it with Smart Melody, Thinkin’ Big and company last time in and has found a race where she can sit midfield behind a good speed, get to the outside and run over the top. That’s the theory anyway, the only risk is finding 1000m too slick but happy to take it.


Dangers: 1. Nic’s Vendetta is a very handy horse and while he hasn’t won fresh he usually runs a good race then improves sharply second-up. His last couple of first-up runs have been at 900m at Newcastle so better suited here and with the claim and soft gate can be in the finish. 2. Vincero was wayward first-up but ran on very well for a close second at Gosford then flopped at Hawkesbury when second favourite to a promising type. Down to 57kg, drawn nicely and he’s more than capable of improving sharply. 4. Witherspoon was a beaten favourite first-up at Wyong and can’t really make too many excuses for her. On paper she’ll be in a speed battle for the lead which is a worry. If she lands in front uncontested then she can take running down.


How to play it: Laburnum WIN; Trifecta 9/1,2,4/1,2,4.
