Aviatress picked to win first up at Morphettville

Aviatress picked to win first up at Morphettville

 AVIATRESS (race 1 Morphettville) has a form line of 114x She raced in the Red Roses at Flemington 9/11/23 last time out. That being her only defeat. This race is an R68 event. She is unbeaten in non-stakes races. AVIATRESS is also unbeaten at Morphettville.

The Breeders Stakes is normally won by the favourite. Khadme won on debut at Sandown but whether he is good enough to win this is another matter but it is worth noting that debutante 2YO winners often win again at this time of the year.

SECOND TO NUN has a change of rider in race 9 at Morphettville. Jamie Kah is aboard her. She has a fair strike-rate and is nicely-weighted.

Jimmysstar best pick at Rosehill (race 8)

JIMMYSSTAR finished out of the first three for the first time at Newcastle 8/3. That was a Group 3 race and now back to an ordinary handicap in race 8 at Rosehill. This is a race which is winnable for him. He is unbeaten at 1600m. This will be his first race at Rosehill.

SEASCAPE won on debut at Gosford and could make it two from two in race 1 at Rosehill. She won by 4 lengths that day. PISCES is the only race winner engaged. James Cummings trains him.

New York Hurricane drops in weight at Caulfield

NEW YORK HURRICANE finished second at Bendigo last time out. He was conceding Co Co Sun 6kg that day. Co Co Sun is my tip for the G1 at Morphettville. He carried 61kg at Bendigo and drops to 57kg this time. He also carried 61kg when finishing second two starts back.

CHIHULY won 17/4 with 61kg and drops to 57kg. He has won twice at 2000m but needs a reasonable track.

Harlow Mist picked in the Amanasco Stakes

Justaboom selected at Caulfield

Caulfield-Justaboom selected for the Autumn Classic

JUSTABOOM ticks a lot of boxes in the Autumn Classic at Caulfield. He won at the same course and distance last time out and had a bit in hand. He has never finished out of the first three. IMMEDIACY is the top-rated in the race. He will be hard to beat. He has won both of his starts and you can only win. It is a race where you cannot feel confident about anything as it is a race full of unexposed youngsters.

All go for Campionessa at Caulfield

Caulfield-Campionessa picked

It is hard to go past CAMPIONESSA in the Peter Young Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday. She finished a close second to Legarto in the Herbie Dyke Stakes last time. GOLD TRIP is a class horse who is capable of showiung up first up. She ran third in the race last time. FOXY CLEOPATRA is the other one I like. She ran second at Caulfield two weeks ago.

Caulfield-Mr Brightside top chance

Photo by Tom Fisk on Pexels.com

Mr Brightside hard to beat

MR BRIGHTSIDE won the C F Orr Stakes last time and is expected to improve on that and win Saturday’s Futurity Stakes at Caulfield. If Mr Brightside’s colours are to be lowered then it is likely to be one of those horses who raced in the C F Orr Stakes. Those horses are PERICLES, MUNHAMEK, and BUFFALO RIVER. Pericles is the best of those horses (I believe). He has raced at G1 previosly and his second up record is 3-2-1

Asfoora picked at Caulfield

Photo by Daniel on Pexels.com

Asfoora Picked for the Oakleigh Plate

ASFOORA finished second in last year’s Oakleigh PLate behind Uncommon JJames and is a good chance to go one better despite a wide barrier draw. She finished second in the Rubiton Stakes last time as the $1.80 favourite. KALLOS beat her that day. He is her rival again but has an even wider draw to contend with. SGHIRRIPA, BENEDETTA, and KING’S GAMBIT are three horses with good chances in an open field. Sghirripa has a terrific strike-rate but is not a noted Group 1 performer and this is a big test. Benedetta finished 4th in the Silver Eagle last start. That is the only time she has ever been out of the first three. King’s Gambit has never finished out of the first three in six starts. As a three-year-old he has a pull in the weights. Jamie Kah rides him. RECOMMENDATION is consistent. He has run in the first three in 12 of his 14 starts and ran 3rd in the Australia Stakes last time.

Bodyguard and Stay Focused hard to beat in the Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield

Bodyguard and Stay Focused hard to beat in the Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield

BODYGUARD and STAY FOCUSED were the first two home in the Blue Diamond Prelude for colts and Geldings two weeks ago and I think they are the two to focus on in the big one, the Blue Diamond. Bodyguard is unbeaten; he has that ex-factor about him which champions are made of. Stay Focused was well-backed in the Prelude and that being his second start is really to improve. Backing both horses might to the way to go here.
