Kilmore, Thursday 9 January
Form Analysis by Rob Auber
Race 1:
OVERVIEW: CHANSU (2) is a speedy pacer that will relish the sprint trip and does have good gate speed. Good effort last start and will strip fitter for the run and expect a big showing. FINAL BOW (6) has been racing in excellent form and looks well placed again to make her presence felt. ABERDENE (1) hasn’t been far away and drawn to get a soft trip along the pegs and will get every chance and can threaten. ANIMADO (7) has drawn wide and will need luck from the draw but does have the ability to be competitive in this. Stablemates LADY IN LINE (10) and EYE SEE AMOUR (11) along with MARKLEIGH CAZ (9) are pacers that will be running on late and must be respected.
EARLY SPEED: 2,5
SELECTIONS: CHANSU (2) FINAL BOW (6) ABERDENE (1) ANIMADO (7)
RATINGS: 2/ 6/ 1/ 7/ 10/ 11
SUGGESTED BET: CHANSU (2) to Win.
Race 2:
OVERVIEW: WATTS UP RAPTOR (4) bolted in at his race debut and won impressively. Shows plenty of promise and though meeting stronger opposition expect a big showing. HEZA GUN (2) resumes here but showed plenty of promise at his first campaign and is sure to have benefited from the spell. Expect a forward showing. ARZALI (3) quirky trotter with good ability but can-do things wrong. Looks better suited on this bigger track and strips fitter. Can threaten. COCONUT MICKEY (6) going well and is very close to a win and is amongst the mix of main chances. KYVALLEY MISTY (11) does have ability but is still developing her trotting craft and can’t be dismissed. CENTURION DREAM (9) is very honest and never far away and has place claims.
EARLY SPEED: 1,2,3,4
SELECTIONS: WATTS UP RAPTOR (4) HEZA GUN (2) ARZALI (3) COCONUT MICKEY (6)
RATINGS: 4/ 2/ 3/ 6/ 11/ 9
SUGGESTED BET: WATTS UP RAPTOR (4)
Race 3:
OVERVIEW: FOREGONE CONCLUSION (3) speedy pacer that take up a forward position and does have the talent to be right in this and fight out the finish. CLIVES GIRL (2) has shown ability in the past but has been struggling to recapture some of her old form. Drawn well and gets another chance. ALCATRAZ GIRL (4) unplaced first up but capable of improving here and was in good form prior to the spell. Not out of this. ROYLE BLOOD (8) was racing well and freshened up for this. Tricky draw but if the breaks come her way, she’s a chance to figure and will be reliant on CONSPIRATOR (1) to hold up from the pole position and is always capable of improving. HAND WRITER (6) started favourite last start and was run down but has claims despite the wide draw.
EARLY SPEED: 1,2,3
SELECTIONS: FOREGONE CONCLUSION (3) CLIVES GIRL (2) ALCATRAZ GIRL (4) ROYLE BLOOD (8)
RATINGS: 3/ 2/ 4/ 8/ 1/ 6
SUGGESTED BET: FOREGONE CONCLUSION (3) to Win.
Race 4:
OVERVIEW: TEX GOES BANG (10) is a consistent pacer that rarely runs poor races and despite the second row draw looks well placed to be amongst the main winning chances. FRIENDS (1) 13yo that was runner up last start and draws ideally here to be in this for a long way. SHEZABLUECHIP (5) consistent mare that is never far away and with the front-line draw can take up a forward position and make her presence felt. One of the main chances along with stable mates. FAVOURITEHIGHLIGHT (4) and VERY TEMPTING (8) that can take up forward positions and have claims. RIGHTEOUSLY (2) races well at this track and can’t be dismissed.
EARLY SPEED: 1,3

Race 5:
OVERVIEW: MIKI MAHONEY (3) is ready to win and just needs some racing luck to be right in the finish again here. One of the main chances whilst stable mate ILLUSTRIOUS (4) ran very well last start and is on the up and is also a major chance. BEACH HOPPER (5) excellent first up and was scratched recently. Returns here and is right up to these is the breaks go his way. Definite chance. MOST TRIUMPHANT (8) racing well and does have the ability to be a winning chance in this and will be running on strongly along with both COTCHINELLIE (6) and CAPTAIN BARNATO (7) that must be respected.

Race 6:
OVERVIEW: IM WESLEY (1) is working back into form and from the ideal draw looks ideally placed to be racing on the speed and expect a big showing whilst OUR BELLA LUCIA (2) has a nice draw to settle handy and can pose as a major threat. TENMINUTES (7) has drawn wide but capable of showing improvement in this and can run well. EDWARD GRANGE (8) broke through for an overdue win last start and is always a chance whilst EASTRBRO JESSE (5) and PRECIOUS BELLE (6) are very capable of fighting out the finish with suitable trips and an open race of many chances.

RATINGS: 1/ 2/ 7/ 8/ 5/ 6

Race 7:
OVERVIEW: MONT SALLY (6) talented trotter that does possess a good turn of speed and looks well placed to settle in a handy position and expect a strong showing. FROSTY GIRL (8) best to forgive last start when breaking but her prior form was very strong and looks a major winning chance at her best. Worthy of another chance. DOSSIER (7) has been racing well and a last start winner and is never far away and can figure in the finish again here. ALLWATFUNJINGLES (3) GIL FAVOR (4) ERO CARPE DIEM (5) have favourable draws and capable of showing improvement. Place claims.

Race 9:
OVERVIEW: ALTATUDE (1) improved run last start when runner up and has drawn ideally here to be well placed throughout and will get every chance. WATCHING OVER US (2) shows promise and hasn’t been far away and draws nicely and should be prominent and can fight out the finish. OBSYDIAN (8) just behind the placegetters in recent times and drawn to get a soft trip and if the breaks come his way he will get every chance. Both OLIVER SHARK (7) and LE BETTY (6) can show improvement and are place hopes.
