1 GIGANTE (TABtouch opening price: $21)
I know he’s got to carry the 60 kegs but he’s run Silverstream (and Meteoroid) to 1.5L in the Birthday Stakes.
There’s some handy one’s here no doubt, but 21 bucks for the old boy from the Jim Taylor yard?
I’ve already taken an each-way bite out of it.
REPLAY - GIGANTE (6th)- 7 October 2017 - Race 5 - 1200m - Belmont Park
Race 6: 4.20pm - Iron Jack – Belgravia Stakes (1,200m) - Bet with TABtouch
1 LUCY MAE (TABtouch opening price: $17)
Call her the forgotten horse.
Good first-up run behind Ocean’s Jewel at Belmont.
Is a month in between runs and lugs the 58ks but draws well in three. She’s going to do something big this prep, and it might come early here.
REPLAY - LUCY MAE (4th) - 30 September 2017 - Race 3 - 1000m - Belmont Park
Race 8: 5.30pm - Guinness Handicap (1,400m) - Bet with TABtouch
4 WAR GOD (TABtouch opening price: $11)
Run behind Miki Two Toes was a beauty - jumped from wide gate, was hussled forward, sat three wide outside the leader when cornering and still finished off really well.
Check the last 50m in the replay.
Could throw a blanket over 7-8 of these. From gate two, with fitness on side and Brad Parnham steering the ship, could easily get home in the lucky last of the day.
REPLAY - WAR GOD (5th) - 14 October 2017 - Race 6 - 1400m - Bunbury
