Another good night for the tipster as Pontevedra gets placed but will the run continue ‘onwards and upwards’?

I thought it was there. For a split second as they came to the line I was sure the 24/1 shot Pontevedera would take the line first but in the end had to settle for runners up spot. I certainly wasn’t complaing and I doubt those who backed this fine horse were either. Tonight in the 9:24 race (lucky text tip race for Getminted viewers) I expect a similar run from Ken Allen’s Onwards and Upwards at a healthy price of 16/1.

While the 2 year old fillie normally sticks to the soft, yielding and muddy going Ken has decided to try her out on good going down under. The distance wont be a problem either as this fine fillie chases win number 4. An each way punt advisiable!

Slow mo camera has the pace to worry fellow fillies!

A change of tact here by the Diablo Racing stable. They’re running 64/1 shot ‘Slow mo camera’ over a much shorter distance than she is normally used to hoping it will reap big rewards. This 2 year old fillie registered a fine win on fast which we have this evening in Canada beating a field which included ‘Queen of night’ and ‘Nicolina’. The record of 1 win and 7 placed finishes out of 10 races speaks for itself. Rathers the bridesmaid role that that of the Bride and at these long odds is more likely to get a place than win in the 8:48 race.

Regal Aviation to fly in the 8:36 in Canada!

While Regal Aviation has never recorded a win on fast he is worth considering at the long odds of 36/1. Last time out the Funtime Frankie trained colt had a nightmare placed 11th on yielding in Australia. He and the stable have had almost a week to right the wrongs of that woeful day and I think he may be good enough to record a placed finish. Out of 26 races so far Regal Aviation has won 4 times and been placed in 10. Likes the longer distances and this trip will suit him tonight.
