Donald 4-3, 6-4, 8-9
Toowoomba 4-8
Today: Doesn't look like much of a day for having a go today. The non-POOMA selections at Donald look a bit average and come from trainers that have poor strike rates so you'd want to be getting a double figure odds to have a go. I do like the one at Toowoomba from the Ron Maund stable, 4-8 Sir Trisdan, drops in grade for the first time this preparation and looks pretty well placed here. He might be a fair price, too, which I'd assess at around $6. The racing at Canberra on the wonderful all weather Acton track though I can't see anything that really stands out though 6-1 Game Star should go pretty close given he drops a couple of grades and has drawn the inside gate.
Yesterday: Highlight of the day was the win of Bikkie Tin Blues in the Group 3 Newcastle Cup. Brad Pengelly has now had 7 rides on the horse for 7 wins, which is pretty amazing. Before moving north to his new trainer the horse raced in Victoria and was getting beaten in city open company. It appears to me that he was racing out of his grade in those races given he'd only won two races whereas in Qld he has worked through the grades and has gotten used to beating horses. Tragedy beaten of the day was Danasierra who was jog trotting when Glen Boss unwisely chose to try to go between horses where there was only a small gap, which closed and checked her badly, ruining her chances.
POOMAs: Yesterday's POOMA, Nylstroem, managed to overcome a wide trip and lob in the last couple of hops at $2.30. Jockey Craig Newitt chose to sit three deep and close to the lead rather than going back and making a long run and that decision got the horse home on a day where horses needed to be racing handy to have a chance around the tight Cranbourne track.
