RACE 1 – DIRECT TRADES SUPPLY MS PACE
- Jocelyn Young (LA SULEIMAN): “Place claims from soft draw. Should have him in a forward position.”
- Ross Olivieri (DIAMOND LIFE): “He’s probably going to improve off his first-up run and should be some sort of chance in this race.”
- –
- Shannon Suvaljko (ROLL WITH ME): “Super last week. Ready to win but just needs some luck.”
- –
- Michael Grantham (BETTOR FINISH): “Super run last start. He looks to have his quirks but will be very competitive in this field.”
- Dylan Egerton-Green (POCKET THE CASH): “Needs luck but racing super.”
- Kyle Harper (THE CHEDDARNATOR): “Racing well. Drawn bad but the distance should help. Place chance with luck.”
- –
- Ross Olivieri (JUST MAKEMIND DIAMONDS): “She’s in season today (Thursday) so I’ll check her tomorrow and she may be scratched. She’s a place chance from the draw if she goes around.”
- –
- Gary Hall Snr (ANTERO): “He’ll be very lucky to win from the draw. He’ll need a lot of luck.”
RACE 2 – WESTSIDE AUTO WHOLESALE MS PACE
- Nathan Turvey (JACK WILLIAM): “Good draw for him. Expecting him to go well.”
- –
- Matthew Scott (BROOKIES JETT): “Second-up, he’ll probably go back and run on.”
- Ross Olivieri (FORGOTTEN HIGHWAY): “It’s not the greatest of draws. He’ll improve on what he does but he’s still a definite player in this field.”
- –
- Matthew Scott (ALWAYS ARJAY): “Will go back and run on. He was a bit disappointing last week.”
- Michael Grantham (SONO ABRUZZESE): “Shocking draw. Will drive for luck.”
- –
- Kyle Harper (TUAS DELIGHT): “Still waiting for a draw. Looks hard from there but one to follow when he gets a draw.”
- Gary Hall Snr (MR KIWI): “He’s a rough each-way chance. It’s not an overly-strong field so he’s got some hope.”
RACE 3 – COWDEN THE INSURANCE BROKERS MS PACE
- Shannon Suvaljko (THE LAST DROP): “Found his race. Will lead and go very close.”
- Matthew Scott (BLACK JACK ZAC): “Didn’t have much luck last week. He was my best track-worker on Wednesday.”
- Gary Hall Jnr (MACHLANI): “Place chance with luck in running.”
- –
- –
- Lindsay Harper (ALLWOODS ROCKNROLL): “He’s honest and won at Narrogin a couple of runs ago but Gloucester Park is a long way from Narrogin.”
- –
- Ross Olivieri (QUICK STRIDE): “He’s in great form but this new system is hurting him I the draw. He’s still a chance with a nice run.”
- Michael Grantham (POWER AND GRACE): “I don’t think the draw is too much of a problem. He’s got a lot of upside and can make his presence felt in this field. Don’t leave him out.”
- –
RACE 4 – BETTER YOUR BET WITH TABTOUCH PACE
- Kyle Harper (TALKTOMEURMATTJESTY): “Went well first-up over 2500 last start. At his best will be hard to beat from the draw.”
- Gary Hall Snr (WHOZIDEAWASTHIS): “Normally you’d have to say he’d have some reasonable chance but he’s been a bit disappointing lately. I’m hoping to see improvement from the good draw. He should get a good run behind the one and I’m hoping he goes up to his best.”
- Nathan Turvey (SIMBA BROMAC): “Nice draw for him to get to the fence.”
- Greg Bond (OUR JIMMY JOHNSTONE): “He’s dropping back in grade which is good. Each-way chance.”
- Lindsay Harper (THEREUGO): “Looks hard for him. The one looks like it’ll lead. Thereugo has won 22 races and 20 of them have been leading so it looks too hard for him for mine. We’ll probably have to go back and sit up which isn’t really his go.”
- –
- –
- Aldo Cortopassi (ROMAN AVIATOR): “Going super. Need some speed in it and he will get home strongly.”
RACE 5 – VILLAGE KID SPRINT (Gr2) MS PACE
- Corey Peterson (CANT REFUSE): “A lot of speed outside us but will do our best to try hold up. At worst should be leaders back and expect it to be a good race for him.”
- Lindsay Harper (BLETCHLEY PARK): “It looks good for him. Three of his last four runs have been outstanding and it looks like he should lead in this field and be very hard to beat, I think.”
- Gary Hall Snr (BALCATHERINE): “She’ll go great, she’s the state’s best mare. She probably can’t beat Bletchley Park if he leads easily but if he gets any pressure she’s got a chance.”
- Gary Hall Snr (DIEGO): “He’s got no hope in this race.”
- Jocelyn Young (BRACKEN SKY): “Awkward draw over short trip makes it tough but he’ll still run well.”
- Greg Bond (GALACTIC STAR): “He’s a good chance if there is a good tempo on.”
- Emily Suvaljko (VULTAN TIN): “Still racing as well as ever. The barrier hurts over the mile so we’ll just have to tuck in early and see how the race pans out.”
- Ross Olivieri (THAT’S PERFECT): “He’s pleased us a lot since his last run. The draw is very harmful to his chances but hopefully we can get a good run.”
- Greg Bond (VAMPIRO): “He’s going to need luck from the draw.”
- Robert McDonald (ARGYLE RED): “Good draw, each-way chance.”
- Ross Olivieri (STROKE OF LUCK): “Should get a nice run and should be somewhere close-by at the finish.”
- –
RACE 6 – WESTRAL MS PACE
- Gary Hall Jnr (HEEZ ABOUT TO ROCK): “Place chance from the ace.”
- –
- Lindsay Harper (BEACH SKIPPER): “If he can get across to the front I think he’s each-way all day. I’ve been trying to lead with him for a fair while because he’s only led for us twice and he’s won well both times. He’s just not the same horse from behind and this isn’t an overly-strong field.”
- Aldo Cortopassi (MARQUISARD): “Going better than his form reads.”
- –
- –
- Shannon Suvaljko (CAULONIA ARTY): “Needs an easier race.”
- –
- Ross Olivieri (CAREERA MACH): “Can’t believe the draw. Don’t give up on him, he’s going okay.”
RACE 7 – RETRAVISION FILLIES & MARES MS PACE
- –
- Shannon Suvaljko (WALTZINGWITHSIERRA): “Good draw. Always dangerous.”
- –
- –
- Ross Olivieri (QUEEN SHENANDOAH): “Her last couple of runs have been career best. She’s in top form but meets a top field. A place chance with some winning hope.”
- –
- Gary Hall Jnr (SOMEBEACHPARTY): “Expecting her to be very hard to beat again no matter how the race is run.”
- Emily Suvaljko (VIVERE DAMORE): “Racing well. Hard draw to overcome but a bit of early speed and pressure will bring her into it nicely.”
RACE 8 – ALLWOOD STUD FARM MS PACE
- Michael Grantham (VALBONNE): “Great win on Tuesday. On the back-up, should lead and go very close.”
- Gary Hall Jnr (JILLIBY JAKE): We’ll jump on Valbonne’s back and hopefully finish in the money.”
- –
- –
- Dylan Egerton-Green (MACHS GOLD): “Needs luck but racing super.”
- Aldo Cortopassi (SHADOW ROLL): “Going well. Sure to be thereabouts again.”
- Jocelyn Young (BAD ROUND): “Small field helps but need the tempo to be hot to bring him into it.”
- –
RACE 9 – APG PERTH YEARLING SALES FEB 28 2021 MS PACE
- Matthew Scott (ROCK ME OVER): “Gets a chance to win, hope he can hold off the swoopers.”
- Matthew Scott (TWENTYNINE TWELVE): “Tag onto Rock Me Over and hopefully run second.”
- Michael Grantham (SANGUE REALE): “The one probably looks to lead so we will just slot him. I was really happy with his last run. With any luck he will definitely gobble the line.”
- –
- Corey Peterson (ONE FOR DAVE ANDME): “Small but handy field. Will just go back and hope for a bit of luck.”
- Madeleine Young (MISTER ARDEE): “Going well and expecting a good run again.”
