6 Boston Junior
Won at Cambridge on Thursday so gets to run out maiden nominations today. Second on this track prior was only in a three-dog field but he pushed his brother Sweet Bonanza who is unbeaten in three starts. 4 Tin Tin Bust is also from the same litter & also won at Cambridge just a fraction slower than BJ. Was third in that small field here on debut but wasn't far off his siblings.
Selections: 6-4-2-7
1 Churn It Up
Bombed the start after another dog was tardy loading into the boxes a fortnight ago. Had won a similar race here prior so happy to stay on board today.
Selections: 1-4-8-3
5 Bora Bora
Won in this class at Hatrick on Friday & his last visit here was successful. 2 Big Time Potter is tricky to follow but she also won on Friday clocking a quicker time than BB. Finished fourth & over four lengths behind that dog when they met down the straight a fortnight ago but it was her first try here. Quaddie back-up.
Selections: 5-2-7-1
7 Silky Adobe
Opened at good odds given that he beat 3 Opawa Keith when they met down the straight last time & he should be even better for that run second up after six weeks off. Keith didn't get a clean getaway however & is a quaddie include.
Selections: 7-3-6-5
6 Old School
Stunning return to racing when winning over 457m at Cambridge after seven months off. Had trialled in 17.24s here on May 20 the same day that 8 Loveable Rogue clocked 17.27s to beat 2 Fool Me Once. All three are quaddie prospects.
Selections: 6-8-2-4
5 Flash Inferno
Big dog who has been a bit clumsy around the bends. Should thrive down the straight.
Selections: 5-8-6-2
4 Honky Tonk High
Was competitive for most of the 520m against some c5 dogs on Friday. Looks thrown on here downgrading to c1. Multi-filler.
Selections: 4-2-7-5
7 Big Time Martin
Finished fairly for fifth when ridiculously short in the market at Manawatu. Much better down the straight now & was a solid second in the equal fastest time of the day here prior. Potential quaddie anchor.
Selections: 7-8-3-6
3 Big Time Theo
Was hampered into the first bend when handy before finishing fourth on Friday. Third in a fast race at the last straight track meeting. 7 Our Boy Romeo has been below his best lately but downgrades into an even field. Won in this class here four starts back. Include for value.
Selections: 3-7-1-5
5 Big Time Telea
Unbeaten in three starts in a straight line & ran as fast as the c5 chasers last time. Has won twice since at Hatrick so has quickly built up an impressive record. Anchor.
Selections: 5-2-1-3
6 Star Boy Express
Jumps back into c4 where he belongs at the very least down the straight. 3 Bow Anna comes in fresh & returns to the track where she has looked most comfortable. Probably need the top four selections to complete the quadrella.
Selections: 6-3-7-2
Best: Race 8 #7 Big Time Martin
Next: Race 10 #5 Big Time Telea
Value: Race 2 #1 Churn It Up
Next: Race 10 #5 Big Time Telea
