Race 1: Link Handicap

7 U W Brother won third-up last term and he’s done enough this campaign to suggest that he could repeat those heroics again. He draws well and should get every chance for Matthew Chadwick and Me Tsui. #8 Day Day Rich is so close to a first win. Expect he rolls forward and takes a bit of running down under Lyle Hewitson, who in Hong Kong, has garnered a reputation aboard front-runners. #12 Raging Blaze gets a handy pull at the bottom of the handicap. Strong booking of Zac Purton could see the gelding’s consistency be rewarded. #6 Whiskey Neat steps away from an ideal draw. He’s next best.

Race 2: Ventris Handicap

1 Victorious Seeker gets into Class 5. This is a suitable dip in grade, especially as a winner in Class 4 earlier this season. Strong booking of Zac Purton is ideal and the distance is of no concern. #4 Diamond Star is nothing short of consistent. He’s had a fair share of runs this term but his fitness has maintained throughout. #6 Sky Gem could well take a chance at a mid-race move here, as he has done in the past. Handy five pound claim from Alfred Chan has him favoured. #9 Fortune Triple has claims....

Tuesday’s”Lock” is at Running Aces on race 04 with the #5-Alilthundadownunda -Drops from open company with good post-Nick Roland drives.

Last Lock Was a scratch and the record stays at 951 of 1503 wins with 272 seconds and 101 thirds.

Race 1: The Pearce Memorial Challenge Cup Plate

Tricky opener to contend with. #6 Inspiring City caught the eye prior to his debut and it’ll pay to stick with him here. He was inconvenienced in the run home on debut and without that hindrance he goes very, very close. #5 Superb Move should be a decent price and has done enough to suggest that he’s moving in the right direction. #2 Happy Won will be well supported and rightly so. He comes from the right barn but at the likely (short) price he might be worth opposing. #1 Forever Friends can improve again. Keep safe.

Race 2: The Purves Quaich Handicap

7 Lucky Ruby should roll forward and pressure for the lead. Expect he finds it with his speed and from there he could take a power of running down, especially under the in-form Matthew Chadwick. #9 Wisdom Patch mixes his form but has shown plenty of prowess on the dirt. He won well two runs back and has proven his worth in this grade. #1 Quadruple Double gets a handy claim and should relish the class drop. He’s done well on the dirt previously....

Friday’s”Lock” is at Grand River Raceway on race 04 with the #1-Lolas Sunsgine-Has the rail and speed to wire this group. Lorne House drives.

Last Lock Won again. The pick record is at 949 of 1500 wins with 272 seconds and 100 thirds.

Race 1: Tim Mei Handicap (2nd Section)

#12 Garlic Hero is within touching distance of a first win. He closed off well last time and with even luck rates as the one to beat. The light weight suits – he just needs a clean run home. #2 Good Beauty makes a favourable drop to Class 5. He won’t know himself in this grade, even if he is getting on in age. #1 Tailor Made mixes his form but is not without a chance under the big weight. #3 U W Brother caught the eye last time out. Expect further improvement here at his second run this turn. 

Race 2: Tamar Handicap

#5 Sun Of Makfi can do no wrong at present. He’s incredibly consistent and another clean run has him favoured here, especially if the cards fall his way. #1 Kowloon Great closed well last start. He’s a threat in this grade and does pair favourably with Zac Purton now. #2 Vincy is a threat at times and is expected to improve in this grade, just...
