Wangaratta tips and results

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.60 · Brad Rawiller

Regal Vanguard brings excellent course suitability having placed 2nd over this track and distance on Heavy 10 just three weeks ago. He carries top weight but gains a significant jockey upgrade to Brad Rawiller who is in excellent form. The inside barrier suits his on-pace style and he should be prominent throughout.

Our price $6.00 · SP $4.00 · Jake Duffy

The V T Nolen stable typically has horses ready to run well fresh and Jake Duffy is a capable country rider. From barrier 10 he may need to cross or find cover, but if he possesses natural speed he could be competitive.

Our price $3.50 · SP $4.40 · Jake Duffy

He maps to dominate the front from barrier 3 in a race with only one genuine leader. Second-up from a spell, he should strip fitter. The query is the weight increase to 59.5kg and whether he can sustain the lead on heavy ground. Strong chance to break maiden status.

Prince Of Spirit is a raw three-year-old getting blinkers after two heavy starts.

Our price $4.50 · SP $7.50 · Rose Hammond

Pendante has solid heavy track form with a win and two placings from eight starts. She ran a close 2nd two runs back on Soft6 and has been competitive in this grade. The fast tempo favours her closing style, and with Rose Hammond's strong recent record she's the most reliable chance.

Our price $8.00 · SP $10.00 · Melea Castle

Brassi Road is flying under the radar with back-to-back heavy track placings including a close 2nd on Heavy10 at Echuca and 3rd on Heavy8 at Wodonga. He's won at Wangaratta previously and gets in light at 54kg.

Our price $7.00 · SP $5.00 · Chelsea Taylor

El Sordo returned to form with a solid 3rd on Heavy9 at Donald last start. He has a good record over 1590m with three placings from nine starts and has placed at Wangaratta. Class-drop helps and he maps to settle midfield with the fast tempo setting up his finish.

Our price $6.00 · SP $12.00 · Samantha Noble

Parabellum is a proven performer over the Wangaratta 2000m trip on rain-affected ground, with a win and a second from four attempts. She also has heavy-winning form and gets in well at the weights with 54.5kg. The main knock is jockey Noble's form slump, but the horse herself is well placed and capable of running a bold race at overlays.

Our price $20.00 · SP $31.00 · John Keating

That was on Soft 6, but he has no heavy experience. A speculative each-way play for those willing to forgive a couple of poor runs.

Our price $4.50 · SP $7.00 · Alice Kennedy

Time Angel ticks all boxes for this Restricted 56 on Heavy: proven heavy track form with a win and placing, excellent second-up record (2:1-0-0), light weight of 55kg, and an ideal barrier 7. Her recent third at Wodonga on Heavy8 confirms she handles the conditions.

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.80 · Amy Herrmann

Adki is a heavy track specialist with an outstanding record of 3 wins and 3 seconds from 14 heavy starts. Second-up she has placed in 3 of 6 attempts. Her last start (5th on Heavy10) was encouraging over 1000m, and she drops to a suitable class.

Our price $9.00 · SP $21.00 · Rose Hammond

Hot Chilli Mama is a risky but live chance. Her first-up record is strong and she handles heavy going. The low weight and gear changes could bring improvement, but she needs luck from the wide gate after a long spell.

Our price $7.00 · SP $15.00

Mishima is a value play given his strong heavy track statistics and liking for Wangaratta. He placed over this track and distance on heavy, and barrier 2 gives him every chance. He is worth a small win investment.
