Esperance Preview Saturday January 23rd

This Saturday afternoon a five event programme at the Esperance Bay Turf Club with the first scheduled for 2:53pm.



Race One is the Healthway Eat More Fruit Handicap over 1600m and a small field of five will start. Miss Alonso was ultra impressive last Friday at the twilight meeting and the rise to a mile shouldn’t pose any problems. Both Damon’s Halo and Publicans Horse were runners up at their last runs and loom as the obvious dangers



Race Two is the Eat More Veg Handicap and again a field of five will compete over 1600m. Burnzy will start a warm favourite for local trainer Helen Harding. The six year old stallion was an impressive winner on Boxing Day and although unplaced last start he was beaten just over a length. Key’s Ace will be fit and he will appreciate the drop to 54.5kg. Grasa Express disappointed last start but did perform well at his previous run when a close up third.


The Roger Goss Livestock Transport Maiden looks tailor made for four year old mare Outside Influence. She has been a minor placegetter at all four starts this season and Saturday’s race looks easier. She is noted for her early speed and should take serious running down. Give It Time, Snow Minx and Aint No Angel are the horses that look to have the most viable Quinella claims.


Race Four is sponsored by the Kalgoorlie Boulder Racing Club and will be run over 1300m. Summer Crossing is an interesting runner along with Alabama who impressed in a Trial last Friday. San Supremo and Ron’s Gem are both recent winners and Put Option wasn’t far away last week. Kimberleys is another with a chance but she has disappointed at her last couple.


The Healthway Go For 2 and 5 Handicap wraps things up at 5:26pm and Hackett’s Heart looks awfully hard to hold out. He flashed home to win his last start in spectacular fashion and Willie Arnold has been booked for the ride. However Twice The Speed and Wing Star are sure to provide strong resistance after strong seconds at their last runs. Cut And Dried is capable of challenging too, especially if the tempo is slick.


Early selections ; Miss Alonso, Burnzy, Outside Influence, San Supremo and Hackett’s Heart.
