Lincoln Moore's Port Augusta Preview

BEST BET: THE RAVEN (Race 1)

EACH-WAY: JACKPOT JOHNNY (Race 6)

VALUE: ATTACK THE PIN (Race 7)

 

RACE 1 - 12:55PM Phillip Kittel Memorial Benchmark 64 Handicap (1200 METRES)

THE RAVEN is the horse to beat chasing his third win in succession here. He has a big weight which is offset slightly with the claim. NORDIC LASS looks the danger. She won her maiden here three starts back, chased home The Raven last start and is two kilograms better off at the weights. RUSHWA was a winner here two starts back and has been freshened. This is a big drop in grade for AMBERTONE who ran down the track behind Picargo at Morphettville last start. This also looks a touch easier for COMMANDO MISS who chased home Domination two starts back.

SELECTIONS: 1. THE RAVEN, 3. Nordic Lass, 2. Rushwa

 

RACE 2 - 1:35PM Pampas Motel & Guest House Maiden/Class One Plate (1867 METRES)

JAKAZONE was placed at Gawler and Balaklava before coming here and winning his maiden beating Pocket Penny. He gets some weight relief and will take beating. JAY PEE BEE has been the big shortener since markets opened and comes off a Gawler placing behind Ammo Loco. CLUB QUEEN maps well from barrier two and was placed at Bordertown three starts back. PLYMPTON was beaten less than three lengths at Balaklava two starts back but is a 17-start maiden.

SELECTIONS: 1. JAKAZONE, 2. Jay Pee Bee, 7. Club Queen

 

RACE 3 - 2:15PM Augusta Courtyard Motel Maiden Plate (1396 METRES)

The market is finding it hard to separate four of them here. MAX FIRE is on debut for Travis Doudle. He was quick to shorten when markets opened and has the benefit of two trials at Balaklava and Morphettville under his belt. ZAMBRANO is the other who has firmed early in betting, he’s had three runs now and did improve when beaten less than two lengths here behind Wandering Eye last time. AMBER HAZE is another key winning chance. She’s had her chances having placed at 10 of 17 starts but was placed here two starts back. QUANDOQUANDOQUANDO was runner-up here three starts back and draws a good barrier, while FOLLOW THE PROMPTS isn’t far away running 2nd at his past three and looks the value runner.

SELECTIONS: 7. MAX FIRE, 5. Zambrano, 6. Amber Haze

 

RACE 4 - 2:55PM Vale David Thomas Benchmark 58 Handicap (Heat 9 NJT Series) (1600 METRES)

NOTICE ME is a former Victorian who won well here last start at big odds. You must take a much shorter price here, but he does look the one to beat from an inside barrier. LITTLEBITFUNNY will be the danger on a good run at Morphettville two starts back when placed behind Campobasso and he does race well here. BAD MOON RISING was a winner here three starts back beating I’m Kenny, MISOOL was placed here behind Notice Me at her local debut while BELLS ‘N’ BOWS comes of a useful effort at Gawler behind Ammo Loco.

SELECTIONS: 1. NOTICE ME, 7. Littlebitfunny, 4. Bad Moon Rising

 

RACE 5 - 3:35PM Hawker Earthmovers Maiden Plate (1100 METRES)

Group 1 Memsie Stakes one day, Port Augusta maiden the next for David Jolly with HARD RANSOM who will run an odds-on favourite and should be winning. He ran well behind She’s Estelle at Gawler and should be too good. JULIEJULIEJILLY looks the biggest threat after placing behind May’s West at Gawler two runs back, GILHANINA is next best having placed behind Mutinous at Balaklava three starts back, ALWAYS SOMETIMES is in the market.

SELECTIONS: 3. HARD RANSOM, 6. Juliejuliejilly, 4. Gilhanina

 

RACE 6 - 4:20PM Mick Fawcett Memorial Benchmark 54 Handicap (1498 METRES)

JACKPOT JOHNNY was big odds winning here two runs back before starting favourite at Quorn last time. He draws a wide gate but looks an each-way play. WYNTER LADY was a Penola winner back in May. She was runner-up behind Whiskey ‘N’ Women at Murray Bridge three starts back and again runner-up here last start behind Jackpot Johnny here. She looks to get her chance. ONWARD was placed last time behind Addictions at Quorn and has been well tried in betting after opening a big price. SPENCER GULF got the money here two starts back but was only fair last time, AUGUSTA ROCK was a winner here four starts back.

SELECTIONS: 5. JACKPOT JOHNNY, 4. Wynter Lady, 1. Onward

 

RACE 7 - 4:55PM Northpoint Toyota Benchmark 54 Handicap (1100 METRES)

KIROSHIMA has again been solid in betting after he was well backed to win here two starts back. He was well beaten at Gawler last time but can bounce back here. RUSTYDUSTYSUNSHINE was a Gawler winner two runs back and chased home Chevite there last time. ATTACK THE PIN finally broke through at Naracoorte last time and looks the leader from a good gate and well over the odds. ZIPADEE was a winner here three starts back and must be respected. CASE CLOSED has placed at two runs since returning to SA. ADDICTIONS bolted in at Quorn last time while DOUG’S JOURNEY ran 2nd behind A Thousand Degrees here last time.

SELECTIONS: 10. KIROSHIMA, 4. Rustydustysunshine, 16. Attack The Pin
