Broome tips and results

Our price $4.00 · SP $6.00 · Natasha Faithfull

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.50 · Kyra Yuill

The most genuinely progressive runner in the race. Barrier 5 lets her settle handy without being forced. The distance is the question mark - her two runs at 1000m produced nothing - but the trip should suit a mare with this much natural speed and her honest recent margins make her the leading threat.

Our price $7.00 · SP $10.00 · Jefferson Tsang

Ole Grande broke his maiden at Broome last start and backs up in nine days with Jefferson Tsang, easily the best performed rider at this track and 27% for the Sue Olive stable. Six Broome runs give him the local experience the track rewards.

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.00 · Jason Li

The most credentialled winner in the race on raw ability, with five career wins and a last-start second beaten a nose-width in tougher BM56+ grade. The class drop is real and barrier 3 lets her sit where Broome winners come from. Against her is a modest Good-track profile of one win from ten, no experience at this unique circuit, one plain effort at 1300m, and a rider yet to win from nine Broome rides. That combination is enough to hold her at place level rather than a win play.

Shasfa is the most in-form runner in the race and the only one who has won at this track and distance. Back-to-back Broome victories, the last over today's exact 1300m trip, came with the same rider who retains the mount and claims 3kg to bring her to a race-low 52.5kg. Broome rewards fit, on-pace runners with recent winning form, and she ticks each box. The class rise and wide gate are legitimate concerns, but her May BM58+ placing at this track shows she is not out of her depth.

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.00 · Simone Altieri

Rommel's Goddess is the most reliable placegetter in the field with two thirds from three Broome runs and a consistent BM58+ profile, and the drop back to 1300m suits after a flat effort over 1435m. Solid each-way substance, but the winning evidence sits with the in-form Shasfa.

Our price $6.00 · SP $5.50 · Natasha Faithfull

Her 1300m second at Port Hedland reads well against several rivals here. The reservations are real though: barrier 10 at a tight, short-straight circuit is a genuine handicap for a horse wanting to be forward, and last start she was well beaten. Talented enough to win, but requires a smoother trip than the draw suggests.

Our price $6.50 · SP $9.50 · Kyra Yuill

The return to 1300m from 1435m suits, barrier 4 maps her within striking range by the 400m, and Kyra Yuill is comfortably the strongest local booking in the race with a 15% Broome strike rate and 17% for this stable.

Our price $3.80 · SP $3.80 · Jessica Gray

The most proven local performer in the race, unbeaten in two attempts at Broome over 1300m and a winner of three of five at the track. He has won or run second at his last four visits and Gray rides him with confidence. Strong enough to be very hard to beat for a placing.

Our price $11.00 · SP $16.00 · Natasha Faithfull

The nine-year-old has found form at exactly the right time with wins at his last two starts and a previous win at this track and distance. He settles midfield and finishes off, and the moderate tempo should not leave him stranded.

Our price $11.00 · SP $31.00 · Elisha Whittington

Consistently in the finish, Royalzel has been beaten narrowly at three of his last four and owns a distance record of 9 starts for 4 wins. The obstacle is the map: he settles back and Broome's short straight punishes closers.

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.50 · Bonnie Casey

The best raw formline in the race, beaten a nose-and-a-bit in this exact grade over the course and distance three weeks ago and a winner here in June. The concerns are tactical rather than ability based: barrier 8 with 59.5kg in a race with five on-pace runners means he may burn fuel to hold a spot, and the switch from Altieri to a rider without a recent winner is a genuine downgrade.

Our price $6.00 · SP $8.50 · Casey Hunter

He is in the best patch of his career with a win at Derby in mid-July sandwiched by placings, and barrier 6 gives him a genuine chance to be within striking range at the 400m. The riding statistics at Broome temper enthusiasm, so each-way is the sensible approach.
