Australia Racing Preview for 5/27/2014
by Grant Davies
Mid-racing sees us attend beautiful Mornington racetrack where we can get our weekend wallet started by finding a few winners. So let’s get to it!
MORNINGTON – AUS A
RACE 4 - A POSITIVE MOVE HANDICAP 2000m $35,000 (AUS) 3YO+ FILLIES+MARES
You can make a case for just about all of these. ZAZPARELLA deserves a change of luck. The issue here is a strong 2000m but from an inside barrier she should get the right run. GREEN ROLLER given she should get a nice run on speed has to be a danger. This is her grade. BALUCH can do better here and strips fitter. That race wasn't run to suit last time. Can't knock the way MEZULLA is going. HIGH DESIGN is a likely improver out to 2000m.
SELECTIONS – ZAZPERELLA / BALUCH / GREEN ROLLER
RACE 5 - BELEURA RETIREMENT VILLAGE HANDICAP 2000m $35,000 (AUS)
ALROUZ should get a comfortable lead. Only KINGS A STAR on exposed form could upset that theory otherwise I'd be listening for a "change of tactics" announcement. ALROUZ can win. Of the five that beat him home last time, 2 are subsequent winners. MISS OUTSHINE is the confusing one. Had she not failed in Adelaide last start she'd just about look a good thing in this race. From what we've seen of her in Australia it was just too bad to be true. She vetted clear. HOT POWER is capable of better and I’m inclined to forgive the last start. Concede hopes to ALIYANA and ABOUT THE JOURNEY (if wet).
SELECTIONS – ALROUZ / MISS OUTSHINE / HOT POWER
RACE 6 - MORNINGTONDENTAL.COM.AU HANDICAP 1200m $35,000 (AUS)
Good 3yo race. Every runner is either in form or shows promise. ILGATTINO should be tough to beat. Have to presume it was just too heavy for him at Warrnambool last start. His 3rd at Caulfield prior to The Quarterback is the right form. MAJESTIC ARTIE is fit and flying. He ran very well last start after having little luck at Sandown. BROTHERLY SECRET resumes and liked his recent jump out. TANKSTER has drawn awfully but Rodd takes over and he'll be running on strongly if they can. WILD FIRE, MIO DIO and NEWSPAPER next best and could easily have missed a placegetter
SELECTIONS – IL GATTINO / BROTHERLEY SECRET / MAJESTIC ARTIE
