SELECTIONS - 21 April 2005

Bendigo 2-5 Sunboy is first up for the Mick Price stable and has the services of Blake Shinn. I'm expecting a decent run from this Desert Sun 3YO and he wouldn't need to be a world beater to feature.

Bendigo 3-5 Octrivia is in a race he can win after running around in 3YO metropolitan races. Should be able to get a great run from his draw and I expect this one to win. I think I might have a lot of friends, though, and he might be quite short.

Bendigo 4-9 Lets Negotiate ran a good race first up at Echuca and was then 6th in the race won by Sanchez. He sat 3 deep for the entire 2100m of that race, went wide on the corner and just ran out of condition over the last 200m. Gets in with no weight and will be nice odds.

Bendigo 8-9 Prairie Rose ran a good race last time out when 3rd in a F&M C4 race at Kilmore. Drops back in distance here but will sit right behind the pace and should be in the finish.

Bunbury 3-13 Recoverable is first up after four city runs in which she hasn't been disgraced. Has Paul Harvey on board, which will knock a few points off her price.

Port Lincoln 6-4 Lincoln Sea has been running around against most of these in the various country cups and has a positive record. Ran 2nd beaten 3.5L behind Mr Iceman in the Streaky Bay Cup last time and gets the chance to turn the tables this time.


Rockhampton 1-2 Damascus Calling meets Quesadilla 4.5kg better for a 0.4L defeat last time when coming off a month's break. Has drawn 1, which will allow him to position behind the pace and he should be right in the finish.

Rockhampton 4-1 Sequalo Buck made his debut in the region with a nice Maiden win. This isn't much harder and he should continue on his winning way.

Wyong 1-1 Mayaleen is first up for the Waterhouse stable after a 2nd at her only start. Chris Munce is down to ride. It's unusual for him to go to a meeting like this so it might be a guide. She trialled well recently and looks hard to beat.

Wyong 5-7 Extract has had one start for a placings at Canterbury as a 6/1 shot. Given an easy trial recently and with the prospect of Gai's horse being short we might get a fair price about this one.
