CANTERBURY - Race 1
OTHER
Superb return trial from #4 HELL I AM, winning Heat 10 on Jun 28 by 2.36L in the second fastest 736m time of the morning behind Leo and only 0.57s off the fastest 736m time we have recorded. The way in which he won wasomcertainly the most impressive part, jumping beautifully but electing to take a sit in the back half of the field while wide throughout. He showed a lovely turn of foot in the straight to go past the leaders with ease when only slightly asked for an effort from Hugh Bowman. A $150K 2021 MM Gold Coast Yearling purchase, this was a lovely return.
CRANBOURNE - Race 1
OTHER
Keen to see #5 RIVER RIBBLE resume and hopefully go through the grades. After finishing 2nd in a Jun 10 jump out, he put together a really impressive bit of work to win Heat 2 on Jun 24. He settled at the rear of a small field, before swooping in the straight and closing superbly with ease. He was 2nd to Merchant Prince on debut with subsequent winners Sir Bailey and Water Bomber in 3rd and 4th prior to his second up run behind the Blue Diamond hopefuls. He looked to do so without his blinkers too, so some nice jump outs ahead of his resumption.
CRANBOURNE - Race 7
OTHER
OXLEY ROAD won Heat 6 on Jun 22 in the clear fastest time of the morning, but it was the work of #1 BATTLEGROUND who was 0.5L back in 2nd (with a 5L gap to 3rd) that caught the eye. He had the benefit of some race fitness with him resuming off a 10-week let up after two runs this prep, but Oxley Road is a Group 1 sprinter while this 5yo gelding will be heading to a mid-week BM64.
BLACKBOOK SUMMARY
Runners | Confidence - Comments |
Canterbury, Race 1 | |
#4 HELL I AM (7) - J O'Shea | Medium. He's only had the 1x trial but it was absolutely super - does resume on a very wet Heavy(10) track but was 2nd last start on a Heavy(9) so should handle it okay. The clear horse to beat, just can't be taking sub-$1.90 with these conditions - if you're backing, would recommend ½ staking. |
Cranbourne, Race 1 | |
#5 RIVER RIBBLE (5) - A & S Freedman | Medium. Finds a winnable race first up - has the race experience (with nice form) along with 2x lovely JO's ahead of his return. Should go very very close here if he's come back improved - just can't have him as short as ~$1.70 so won't be backing unless he gets out closer to $2.50. Expect him or Exonumia to win this. |
Cranbourne, Race 7 | |
#1 BATTLEGROUND (2) - K Harris | Low/Medium. Should go forward from barrier 2 and either lead or sit just behind the leaders - JO was absolutely superb and he goes very well fresh (first up 5:1-3-1) - it's an even race and he looks a nice E/W chance. |
