For the second time in recent weeks I’m backing Lavender Prince to find a place! Come on ya good thing ya!

The most enouraging result ahead of this race for ‘Lavender Prince’ was a win on soft in England at the end of last month. Since then this well trained 2 year old colt has picked up 2 placed finishes and on his day is a handful for any horse. At odds of 13/2 punters will be racing to their pcs to back him and its easy to see why.

In this inexperienced line up its important to stress many of these horses have never raced against each other before. Significantly ‘Lavender Prince’ has always done well in big fields and certainly wont be put off in the 9:48 showdown. While he has the ability to win this one , hedge your bets with an each way flutter.

If fitness levels are okay Princess Aura to run well in the land of the kangaroo and koala!

The bookies seem convinced that DVDMAN1’s ‘Princess Aura’ is all washed up ahead of the 8:24 race in Australia. They’ve laid down big odds of 50/1 on this girl despite the fact that she has never finished out of the top 3 in all races. Last time out she won over soft going on this very track despite the attentions of a full field of 14. Has never raced on yielding before but her experience on soft should stand to her. Has raced 3 times in the last 8 days so fitness levels may be a little low, still at this price she must be considered for a placed finish.

Orchids ablaze to light up the night’s proceedings!

The last time this old fillie ran on yielding ground she won in a tight encounter on the 7th of October beating the likes of Sharkey Kementari, Pefume Garden and Sparton sword. Has had more owners than John Hartson has had football clubs. Andy at AML Racing (who we are all thinking of and praying for), Andy Hargie stables, The Clan and Big Nig have all enjoyed success with ‘Orchids Ablaze’ and current owners Perry’s stable will be hoping for more of the same. Odds here are a tasty 13/2 and an each way punt is advisable for the 8:12 race. Has raced on 59 occassions, winning 10 times and being placed in 23. A 6 furlong specialist who hasn’t raced since the 11th of this month.
