Six races will be held this Saturday afternoon at the Esperance Bay Turf Club with the first scheduled for 2:04pm. It’s the Esperance Smash Repairs Handicap over 1400m and a small field of six will start. Sarabella was narrowly beaten for third last week and is a likely improver second up while The Menace, Cyclonic Force and Twice The Speed all possess strong finishing bursts.
Race Two is the Esperance Window Tinting Maiden over 1300m and Give It Time looks awfully hard to beat after running a solid second last Saturday. Royal Wing has been placed at her last three starts and looms as the obvious threat. On exposed form it’s hard to see any other horse challenging and the Quinella approach may well be the best option.
The MCM Protection Handicap is over 1300m and sprinters He’s Smokin’, King Of The Stalls and Ears Loppy are the main hopes. Aelstreet and Armagold will be outsiders while Fizzy Kel gets in well at the weights. The fourth event is over 1950m and no doubt many of the acceptors are hoping to have a tilt at the Esperance Cup later next month. Key’s Ace has been thereabouts this season without winning while Danish Currency is sure to have plenty of support. The Gift has impressed with a first and a second at his two Esperance starts and Interrogator is proven over the long journey.
Race Five is sponsored by Star Transport and Donargy returns from a freshen up for leading trainer Brendan Corver. Moss Street is a recent winner and Landmark Lady put it all together at her last run when triumphant over subsequent winner Outside Influence. Alabama is a recent trial winner and the likes of Chesta Piniton, Summer Crossing and Western Crown all demand respect.
The Sharpe Brothers Handicap wraps things up at 5:18pm and Stormy Express is the likely favourite after winning first up. Lord Airlie looks to be working up to a win and both Publicans Horse and Mr Magnificent have already tasted success this season. Silver Ambush is another that could be over the odds despite some poor numerical form.
Early selections ; Cyclonic Force, Give It Time, Ears Loppy, Danish Currency, Moss Street and Lord Airlie.
