Wangaratta tips and results

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.10 · Lachlan King

The Ben Brisbourne-trained gelding has shown consistency with a 2: 0-1-0 record and should be improved by that run. With Lachlan King aboard, he maps to get a good run midfield and should be finishing strongly with the expected fast tempo on a track that allows backmarkers to finish well.

Our price $16.00 · SP $201.00 · Samantha Noble

The S G Noble-trained filly performs well fresh with a 3rd placing first-up previously and draws the inside barrier.

Our price $6.00 · SP $9.00 · Lachlan King

Being second-up from a spell suggests natural improvement, and the inside draw should allow him to secure a good position. While unproven at the distance, his racing pattern suggests it will suit.

Our price $3.00 · SP $3.30 · Jake Noonan

Anglesea represents the powerful A & S Freedman stable who excel with well-prepared maidens. With Jake Noonan aboard, this first-starter is likely to be given every chance from barrier 14, which allows options to find a forward position. The 1400m start at Wangaratta gives plenty of time to cross and find position. The stable wouldn't debut at this trip unless the horse was well-educated and ready.

Our price $4.00 · SP $5.50 · Jett Stanley

Latin Lights brings a strong combination of breeding, connections and potential improvement. The step up to 1400m looks suitable for her racing style, and she gets in with just 56kg. Expecting improvement second-up, though the wide barrier and inexperience are slight concerns.

Our price $4.50 · SP $5.00 · Hannah Edgley

Three-year-old gelding who showed ability with a close 3rd placing at this track on a heavy track two starts back. That wet track form is significant given today's conditions. Has drawn well in barrier 8 and should get a nice run in midfield. The step up to 1400m looks ideal based on his running style, and the Ledger stable has him in good order. Ready to break through.

Our price $12.00 · SP $14.00 · Blaike Mc Dougall

Well-drawn in barrier 4 and gets the services of Blaike McDougall.

Our price $18.00 · SP $61.00 · Brittany Button

Our price $7.50 · SP $8.50 · Jade Smith

Six-year-old mare coming off a strong win at Donald over 1620m carrying 60kg. Proven performer on soft tracks which suits today's conditions. The significant class drop from previous metropolitan and provincial races is a major plus. Jade Smith retains the ride after winning on her last start.

Our price $6.00 · SP $7.00 · Emily Pozman

Lightly-raced three-year-old gelding with an impressive record of 2 wins from 3 starts. Won last start over this distance at Wodonga and has proven ability on soft tracks. The class rise is the main query, but receives weight relief as a 3YO against older horses. Drawn well in barrier 3 and should get an ideal run. First time with barrier blanket is the only gear change to note.

Our price $3.50 · SP $4.20 · Billy Egan

Damas brings excellent credentials to this race with a strong record at Wangaratta (2:1-1-0) and consistent recent form. He's second-up today with a strong second-up record (3:0-2-1) and should be right on speed from the jump. Billy Egan is a positive jockey booking and despite the wide barrier and top weight, he appears well placed in this grade.

Our price $6.50 · SP $6.50 · Brad Rawiller

Tipsy Gypsy brings solid recent form into this race with a 3rd placing last start at Pakenham. She has a good record on soft tracks with 1 win and 2 thirds from 3 starts, suggesting today's conditions will suit.

Our price $9.00 · SP $12.00 · Blaike Mc Dougall

Our price $6.00 · SP $4.80 · Caitlin Hollowood

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.00 · Dakotah Keane

Consistent performer with excellent soft track credentials who comes off a last-start win. His proven record at the distance is a significant advantage, and he's shown he can handle the conditions. The 8-day backup is ideal for maintaining fitness.

Our price $6.00 · SP $5.00 · Billy Egan

Lightly-raced filly dropping significantly in class after competing in stronger metro races. The likely fast tempo should suit her running style, but she lacks experience on soft tracks and is returning from a lengthy spell.

Our price $9.00 · SP $10.00 · Caitlin Hollowood

Lightly-raced improver who placed last start and has been showing consistent form. His recent placing suggests he's ready to perform well, though the class rise presents a challenge.

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.40 · Cory Parish

Alternate brings strong metropolitan form dropping back to country grade. His last start 5th at Caulfield Heath in BM66 company reads well for this easier assignment. Has a strong second-up record with 2 wins from 4 attempts and excels at this distance range. While unproven at Wangaratta, his tactical versatility should allow him to overcome the wide draw and find a good position midfield.
