Hobby looking to stay hot!
Fresh off training his 3000th winner in WA leading Trainer David Hobby will be looking to maintain his kennel’s hot form.
Heats of the Lew Dorsa Memorial Trophy are the feature races on the card and Hobby holds a solid hand with Chimera Monelli and Withers Monelli in the first heat and Pixie Monelli and Stout Monelli in the second heat.
Hobby also has Zack Monelli engaged in heats of the Golden Easter Egg at Wentworth Park which will potentially be held tomorrow after tonight’s meeting was postponed due to heavy rain affecting the surface.
In the first of the Lew Dorsa Memorial Trophy heats Sir Monty is a $2 Fixed Odds favourite with TABtouch in front of Star Book who is paying $3.90 with Chimera Monelli at $4 with Westdale Ophelia and Withers Monelli both at $10.
Star Book has not been racing up to her best in recent weeks but she generally improves sharply when she gets a wide draw. She has had 10 tries from boxes 7 and 8 for 8 wins and 2 placings.
In the second of the Lew Dorsa Wise Thunder is the $2.90 favourite in front of Stout Monelli at $3.30, Fernando Star at $6, Pixie Monelli at $7.50 and Rambo’s Boy and Jet A One are both paying $8.
It is a very strong program with two excellent races over both the 600 metres and 715 metres trips.
On a tricky night I am backing race 3 number 4 Cindy’s Oliver and race 10 number 1 Razor’s Edge.
Good luck with your thoughts.
