Ventured West
 

Geraldton today…

Race 4 Pigsley’s Grief ex Victorian who has had 2 starts in the west performing reasonably (C5) on both occasions. Best form in the past over distances around 1600, so you would expect the 1200 today to be too short but should be running on. Also racing out of class (is C3) but does have an apprentice claim.

Race 5 D'Yquem another ex Victorian who has now had 3 starts in the west most recent running 2nd C1 this track over 1600. Up in class (C3) today but also up in distance which should suit. With the services of the lovely Alana could surprise.

The gear changes are listed in the race book (PDF file) that the WA Turf Club provides for each meeting - either download or view. Normally available at least a couple of days before race day. Use the link below then go the their customer racing information service (cris).

I like the chances of the west aussie (1) ELLICORSAM in an open race. She does look well weighted against this lot.

(14) LINE ACCOUNT well drawn goes ok fresh and this track and should be well ridden by Darren Beadman.

Ditto (3) WILDLY with Greg Childs steering.

For value including (9) SPECIAL NUMBER. Drawn wide but has good strike rate and handles all track conditions.

Good luck with yours.

What a bottler! Track specialist (3) REGAL ROLLER the one to beat.

(5) LAD OF THE MANOR next best. The promising 3YO (17) CALIFORNIA DANE should be right in the thick of things if he gets a start.

The west aussie (6) EARLY EXPRESS could be the surprise packet. Has a good draw and should be suited by Caulfield.

And including (for value) the old sandgroper (2) BOMBER BILL very capable on his day.

Good luck with yours.
