Wodonga tips and results

Our price $50.00 · SP $81.00 · Alice Kennedy

Poor performances in both starts, beaten huge margins. While the light weight and inside draw are small positives, she has shown nothing to suggest competitiveness.

Masakari is the clear form horse with two seconds and two thirds from five starts, including a third on heavy ground. The 129-day spell is a query, but he showed good tactical speed in his prep and barrier 2 is ideal for a forward ride. Alice Kennedy's recent strike rate is poor, but the horse has the class to handle the drop back to 1200m. He appeals as the most likely winner despite the first-up query.

Our price $6.00 · SP $6.00 · Liana Wood

He drops in weight and has had recent runs, giving him a fitness advantage. However, he is still a maiden and has drawn awkwardly (10). Likely to settle midfield and make a run. Worth including as a place chance.

Our price $2.50 · SP $7.00 · Brittany Button

Andres Girl is the standout form runner in this weak Open race. She has already won at Open level on Heavy 9 at Wagga, beating older horses. Her consistency and proven wet track ability give her a clear edge over rivals who are mostly untested or poorly performed. The barrier is manageable, and the jockey knows her well. She is the most likely winner.

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.60 · Blaike Mc Dougall

He wears blinkers and a tongue tie first time, which may suggest he's been showing enough at home to warrant those changes.

Parabellum is a genuine heavy-track specialist with two career wins on rain-affected ground. Her recent 4th at Wodonga over 2050m on heavy 8 was solid, and she drops to 54kg with barrier 1. In a race with slow tempo and heavy conditions, she maps to lead or sit close, giving her a significant advantage.

Our price $6.67 · SP $9.50 · Jack Martin

Master Polanski comes off a narrow win on synthetic and has placed on heavy in the past. He handles the distance and has early speed to offset the wide draw. However, his heavy track credentials are unproven beyond one placing, and the wide gate may force him to work early. Place chance at best.

Our price $8.33 · SP $5.00 · Blaike Mc Dougall

He drops to 56.5kg and draws barrier 4, which should allow him to settle closer.

Our price $8.33 · SP $10.00 · Brittany Button

Under The Hat has a solid distance record and drops slightly in grade. While heavy track form is a concern, he maps okay and the jockey knows him.

Our price $10.00 · SP $8.50 · Sam Kennedy

Brassi Road is flying on heavy tracks, recording three consecutive placings including a close second at Echuca and a third at Wodonga over this trip. Drops slightly in weight and draws well.

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.90 · Lachlan King

King Incanto is the form horse of the race with three successive runner-up efforts on rain-affected going. He drops from BM58 company and draws barrier 5, which should allow him to land in the first half. The negative is the 60kg top weight and jockey Lachlan King's recent barren run. While he is a strong place chance, his win strike rate (11%) tempers confidence.

Our price $4.00 · SP $8.00 · Caitlin Hollowood

Miss Himalaya is the wet-track queen in this field, having won twice and placed once from six heavy starts, including a commanding win here on Heavy8 three weeks ago. She carries only 54.5kg after Caitlin Hollowood's claim. However, barrier 18 is a significant obstacle at Wodonga where forward position is critical. If she can cross or find cover, she has the class and form to be in the finish, but the wide draw makes her more a place than win proposition.

Our price $6.00 · SP $6.00 · Ryan Houston

She is dropping from BM62 grade and carries only 56.5kg. The main concerns are the wide barrier (17) and modest recent form, but she has been racing consistently on heavy ground and the step down in class could see her bounce back.

Our price $4.00 · SP $5.00 · Brittany Button

Barn Zee has a strong Wodonga record and maps perfectly from barrier 5. However, his heavy-track credentials are limited and he was only fourth last time here on Heavy 8. Still, his consistency and tactical speed make him the second pick.

Our price $10.00 · SP $10.00 · Alice Kennedy

Time Angel is a value runner with strong heavy-track credentials and a good run here last start. Despite barrier 14, she has enough early speed to cross and find the front. With a light weight and apprentice claim, she could prove hard to run down.
