Carnarvon tips and results

From barrier 2 in a slow race, jockey Alex Hearn can take up a prominent position. However, the horse is winless and has a poor first-up record, making him more of a risk.

That speed suggests she has ability if she can put it together. First-up and on the fresh side, she could surprise if she snags a cheap lead.

The stable clearly expects a good showing, and barrier 4 is favourable at Carnarvon on Good. However, there's no evidence of ability, and in a weak maiden, first starters are risky. He warrants respect but isn't a confident selection. Taken as a place chance.

She hasn't fired at Carnarvon in two runs, but the slow tempo could suit if she uses her early speed to cross from barrier 7. Each-way appeal.

The Coolakin King is a proven Carnarvon specialist with a win over this track and distance last year. Despite carrying 59kg, he draws barrier 4 and maps well in a race lacking genuine speed. His recent form is solid enough, and he should be hard to beat if he reproduces his best.

Ironclad Boy has the perfect barrier and a light weight, making him a key threat. He ran 2nd at Carnarvon two starts back and has placed at the track/distance before. Consistency is a concern but he profiles well for the setup.

Our price $5.00 · SP $6.50 · Jason Li

Kunapipi is a consistent mare with proven form at Carnarvon, including a win over track and distance. Despite a wide draw, the middle barrier bias at Carnarvon favours her position, and she should be in the first few at the 400m.

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.80 · Bailey Webster

Mars Mission looks well placed dropping from BM64+ to BM56+ and carries the same weight as when runner-up to Aardvark last start, but with a 5.5kg weight swing in his favour. From barrier 5 he should get a nice run just off the pace at Carnarvon where on-pace runners dominate.

Addictive Dream is building a consistent profile with a 3rd at Carnarvon (1000m) and 2nd at Rockingham (1200m) in her last two. The barrier 9 is a concern at Carnarvon, but she has enough early speed to cross and sit handy. She is more trustworthy than the other mid-range hopes.

Le Troy was in superb form before a long spell, finishing in the top 3 in 7 of his last 10 starts including a win at Carnarvon. He drops back to BM56+ and has a good jockey/trainer combination. However, he is first up after 236 days, and his first-up record is poor. The gear changes add uncertainty.

Our price $5.00 · SP $7.50 · Jason Li

Alma Mater ran a strong third over 1400m at Carnarvon last start, suggesting he is finding his best. He strips fitter third-up and gets a light weight with Jason Li's claim. The step to 1600m is a query but his dam line suggests stamina. He looks a solid place chance with upside.

Our price $10.00 · SP $26.00 · Natika Riordan

Western Impact draws ideally in barrier 1 for a Carnarvon 1600m on Good. With a slow tempo, he can take up the lead or sit handy. His recent third in a BM56+ shows he can compete at this level.

Never Sober is a 1600m specialist with four wins at the distance. His recent two runs after a spell have been fair and he should improve with that fitness base.

Our price $7.00 · SP $9.00 · Alex Hearn

Shooting Kontiki won this very race last start at Carnarvon over 1000m in BM56+, proving his suitability. He draws well again in barrier 3, which should allow him to settle on pace. The main negatives are the weight rise to 60.5kg and his poor 1000m record aside from that win, but recent form and track familiarity make him a reliable place prospect.

Cozzies Choice draws the ace (barrier 1) and comes off a win on a similar surface, making her an interesting each-way play. While she lacks Carnarvon experience, the inside gate is a massive advantage on this tight leader-friendly track.
