THOROUGHBREDS

Warwick Farm: Race 4; #8 Tenderize 

This is an open race, I don't have a huge degree of confidence backing a runner in the race but I am keen to lay TENDERIZE at his current price. The wet track is the concern for mine, we have seen his best on dryer tracks previous in his career. I've got more confidence in others handling todays track conditions better. He is drawn well so may be around the right spot, but I think he is a risk of tiring late.

Sandown: Race 4; #6 Nova Lights 

Nova Lights is too short for me around the even money quote. Her last start win was dominant from the front at Bendigo but the form prior was suspect and I doubt she gets a picnic in front from the wide draw here.

Eagle Farm: Race 3: #1 About To Explode 

Happy to risk this runner from a map perspective, has settled back at all runs to date and from the wider barrier I expect the same happens again in this. I am doubtful he will be able to finish over the top of them with the rail out 11m. The jockey and trainer combo should keep him short enough in the market along with a strong last start figure.
