THOROUGHBREDS

Randwick: Race 4; #3 Dance To The Boom Down Arrow

Had this as a very competitive market but DANCE TO THE BOOM looks to have now come up very short. She maps well to be prominent but needs to find a level of improvement on what she has produced so far this prep in similar races to justify the below even money price. She may just find that improvement here and prove me wrong, but at the below even money price I am happy to risk as a lay

Doomben: Race 2; #9 Stromboli Delight Down Arrow

Meadowbrook and Regal Rina come through the strongest race and look hardest to beat so I am happy to risk the current third fave who is first up and will be better placed when fitter and up in trip.

Sale: Race 1; #8 Meleys Down Arrow

Meleys has ability but from the wide gate, I expect her to be dragged all the way back to near last and it will make things very tough for her. Roulette King was well supported on Betfair over the last 20 minutes of betting on debut and from a small stable, that is a very strong lead to the horses ability.
