Albany Preview
Seven races are set down for the ARC's second biggest meeting of the year. It does not look a strong meeting on paper with some small fields, but the Boxing Day meeting is usually more about socialising for the racegoers ahead of the actual racing.
Only five runners will face the starter over the 1500m to open the meeting Monsieur Blanc abd The Keillor Kid the main chances. Pwakkers Back and I'm Here To Win look set to fight out race two over 1100m. Finding the winner of the 1100m Maiden Race three won't be easy, with Toss N Spin the best performed horse in the race but very disappointing last start. Desert Oak gets another chance in the 1500m Maiden after been run down last start after possibly going to early. Cho Son looks a chance to go back to back in the 1600m Race Five,meeting a similar field that he beat last start. Race Six is an open affair with Bella Sempre, Soldiers Salute, Chuck The Bird and Bombard all with claims. Not a lot of exposed form in the last but any of All Spots, Briello, Soviet Prince and Classy Flirt all have claims if the can reproduce their best
Esperance Preview
Sunday’s meeting at the Esperance Bay Turf Club will be a TAB covered meeting with Racing Radio Coverage. Unfortunately the fixture won’t be co-mingled with SuperTAB and won’t be shown on Sky Channel with both Pinjarra and Albany also racing. Large fields and eight races are the order of the day and the first event is set down for 1:28pm. It’s the Dr. Graham Jacobs Maiden over 1400m and Lucky Bay looks hard to beat. Beaten narrowly at her only start the four year old will take holding out. Resuscitator is a speedy type while The Comforter also looks to have strong each way claims. Expect Snooza, Cut And Dried and Miss Mohican to start under 10/1.
Race Two is the Rob Dutton Spreading Maiden and Donnyonetime looks very hard to catch. He has been beaten narrowly at his two Esperance starts and looks set to break his Maiden status. Main dangers look to be Time To Front and Lara’s Business although there are five first starters. The Bay Automotive Maiden is over 1200m and lining up the form isn’t easy. Hi Dollie was placed at massive odds a fortnight ago and with the pace on again she should be in the thick of things. The fourth is sponsored by the K.J. Norton Building Company and last start winner Lyoveldio will be one of the favourites. My Girl Kate won her Maiden last start but has drawn wide in gate twelve. Comes Round, Trida Brando, Outside Influence and Mr Magnificent have been thereabouts and look to be fringe candidates.
Race Five commences the Quadrella and is sponsored by the Bay Automotive Group. Summer Crossing is a class-dropper and recent winners Western Crown, Tashi Delek and Landmark Lady will have support. Just Sue resumes and boasts an impeccable record at the venue. The Esperance Freight Line Handicap is over 1300m and the Brendan Corver trained Expedition will be aiming to notch a hat-trick of victories. Ron’s Gem rises to Open Sprint class but only has to carry 54.5kg. He’s Smokin’ has been in good form and Cyclonic Force is a ‘run on’ type who can challenge late. The West River Legends Stud Handicap (1600m) sees the clash of last start winner Cyclos, bold front runner Key’s Ace and powerful finisher Hackett’s Heart. Put Option, Ears Loppy and Miss Alonso all look suited by the rise in distance. The last is scheduled for 5:57pm and is named “The Churchie’ Handicap, named in honour of EBTC stalwart Churchie White. Stormy Express is sure to start a warm favourite after a couple of eye-catching efforts. Royal Wing, Platinum Lad and She’ll Be Right will also have strong support. The atmosphere on Boxing Day is always terrific so make sure you get to the track this Sunday !
Early Tips ; Lucky Bay, Donnyonetime, Hi Dollie, Lyoveldio, Tashi Delek, Ron’s Gem, Hackett’s Heart and Stormy Express.
