CHAMPION JOCKEY BRIAN Harding should continue his steady climb up the jockeys' standings tomorrow afternoon following last Saturday's two-timer for trainer Anthony Nunes.
Sitting on five winners, 13 behind leading rider Charles Hussey, Harding should again boot home another double for Nunes - TWEEDSIDE in the second at 1820 metres and OLE KING COLE in the fourth for the Linval McFarlane Trophy at 1400 metres.
TWEEDSIDE, who takes forever to get going, got his last two victories at the distance and should once again outstay rivals FUSILIER, SIR KHAN and PECKUS OUT.
The four-year-old bay colt came too late in his last two races, beaten by GUIDING LIGHT at a mile and a vastly improved NATURAL SELECTOR at nine furlongs late February. He ran on to finish ahead of FUSILIER in both races and has also had the measure of PECKUS OUT and SIR KHAN in previous encounters.
JACKPOTS AT $1.7M
MYBLUBELLE at 7-1 was the longest shot on Saturday's 11-race card but 5-1 chance THE SEVENTH WAVE was also a Super-6 and Pick-9 stinger. However, there were 40 winning Super-6 combinations each worth $21,563 and four winning Pick-9 bets each bagging $250,000.
The Hi-Five eluded all bettors in the 11th and has a $242,390 carryover to tomorrow's fourth race in which Harding will partner OLE KING COLE.
The bay colt found DIGITEC and RAMADA too tough to handle at a mile last Wednesday but has only SANKOFA to fear tomorrow in an 11-horse line-up featuring eight fillies.
SANKOFA, returns treated with lasix after two dismal efforts and according to the railbirds, is ready to show his true colours.
Every indication suggests SANKOFA could be a dangerous horse after galloping five furlongs on the round with INSATIABLE in 1:02.1 last Friday morning. However, OLE KING COLE has experience on his side and should topple the SANKOFA gamble.
With only nine races on the midweek card, bankers will be key and Richard Azan's down-in-class DORALDO must be a good thing with Wesley Henry aboard. The four-year-old American races on a relatively cheap claiming tag, suggesting all's not well.
He hasn't been seen at exercise much since late last month but posted an easy 1:01.1 from the gate then. However, Henry's presence suggests Azan's runner is a live shot worth banking despite whatever problems he may have.
Close all bets in style with JACK BE GOOD in the seventh, CHOO CHOO CHOO in the eighth at 1000 metres straight and out-of-class SIR CHACHA BABA in the nightpan.
JACK BE GOOD won't be caught by claimers at 1400 metres, CHOO CHOO CHOO has worked too sweet to lose and SIR CHACHA BABA is better than $160,000 claimers.
