MACKAY (QLD) — Good 4

Prices supplied by Teambet


R1 — Ladbrokes Odds Surge Hcp — 1200m

Analysis:
ATLANTIC RAIN is unbeaten from two runs and arrives off a strong Rockhampton win — clearly the one they have to beat. FABULEAN closed off well fresh here at Mackay and can improve again second-up. NEXT LEGACY battled on gamely last start and has each-way claims. THE KOBAY TRAIN broke through last start and can be included in wider trifectas.

Selections:

  1. Atlantic Rain (1) — $2.70
  2. Fabulean (4) — $1.75
  3. Next Legacy (2) — $7.50
  4. The Kobay Train (6) — $21.00

Analysis:
ANSWERING backs up quickly and has been racing consistently — should be right in the finish. SINGULAR ran well at Cairns and holds form that measures up here. DALT JAZ also backs up and comes off a near miss — definite winning chance. PRIDEOFTHEBIGFISH hasn’t been far away and is one for value exotics.

Selections:

  1. Answering (5) — $3.80
  2. Singular (3) — $4.60
  3. Dalt Jaz (1) — $4.20
  4. Prideofthebigfish (6) — $12.00

R3 — Ladbrokes Big Bets Mdn Hcp — 1100m

Analysis:
EL FORTRESS resumes and trialed well leading in — looks well placed. OSCAR BOOIE continues to find the line and can run another honest race. SHOOTINGOFFTHEHAND was a touch plain first-up but the blinkers may sharpen him — keep safe. BETTER BREAKOUT resumes and has trialled nicely, a knockout hope.

Selections:

  1. El Fortress (8) — $2.35
  2. Oscar Booie (2) — $23.00
  3. Shootingoffthehand (5) — $4.50
  4. Better Breakout (4) — $3.40

Analysis:
EAGLE WARRIOR has been racing consistently this prep and gets a nice drop in class — strong winning chance. SHOCKSTAR comes off a good win and can figure again.

Selections:
4. Eagle Warrior (5) — $4.50
3. Shockstar (4) — $5.00
7. Cash Artist (2) — $12.00
2. The Penske File (1) — $3.50


R5 — Book For Christmas Raceday Sat 6th Dec Hcp (65) — 1200m

Analysis:
CANDLELIT backs up and continues to race well — sets up strongly here. RONS FINEST CHOICE is building nicely this prep and should be in the finish. SENNAPROST has an excellent record at this track and shouldn’t be overlooked. SPIRIT OF MAC is fitter now and has a place chance.

3. Rons Finest Choice (2) — $2.80

  1. Sennaprost (6) — $8.50

R6 — Racing Again Fri 21st Nov Hcp — 1200m

Analysis:
MASTER MONTARO is flying at the moment and was dominant last start — the one to beat again. FLYING SHAMUS brings winning form to the race and stays in the mix.
