Don’t mess with the Bewilderbeast in the 9:24!

While this 2 year old colt from the Golden Glory Racing stable has only been out once before the signs suggest conditions and distance in Australia will really suit him tonight. A born sprinter Bewilderbeast finished 2nd in a small field of 3 last Friday in Cananda and the shorter distance this evening will be more to his liking.

I know the owners are excited by this colt’s prospects as training has been going very well. Experience and quality in this field are limited so at odds of 15/1 I’d stick a few bob on this one for a placed finish at the very least. Best of luck to all owners and punters for this weekend’s races.

Don’t be put off by William of Orange’s last run out on good, this horse is quality!

How short the memory can be. The bookies have written off ‘William Of Orange’s’ chances in the 9:12 race down under based on his last run on good going. On the 25th of November he finished 9th out of 14 in what has become known as just one of those days. However in his two previous runs on this type of going he won both. Owned by Ocean Park Racing he has won 5 of his 25 races and been placed in 8. Previously owned by the T’ O Brien stable as well as Hopeful Yard and Walmington this horse is one to watch for the future. At odds of 7/1 he makes a good each way option.

Orb electric to do well in the 8:48 in Australia

Recent form for this 4 year old colt has been impressive. With the exception of a poor performance on the 26th of November he has run well over different types of going and distances. While good going hasn’t always produced this horse’s best results he’s still a great prosepect in this race at odds of 8/1. In 54 runs to date he’s won 7 times, thats a 13% win to run ratio but has come close on so many occassions to adding to that figure. In his last race for example ‘Orb electric’ finished just half a length behind Zipper in a race he could have won had luck gone his way. Has been placed in 24 races (44% place to run ratio) so an each way punt tonight may produce a tidy return one way or the other.
