HURRICANE HUNTER is another galloper that didn’t haven’t much luck last start that I believe can atone today. His overall form level to me is as good as the favourite Chairman Lo’s and Hurricane Hunter can get a suitable run from barrier 4. There is also a some value around FAMILY LEADER and FUN TIMES and the quinella option with them is also attractive.

Result: 2nd (-6.5 units)(-1.5 units) -> (-8 units)

Zac Purton unlocked DYNAMIC EAGLE’S potential last start when allowing the horse to settle and up in grade, with a light weight, the horse can win again today. Karis Teetan takes the ride and the horse draws the inside gate, which may cause a temptation to fire him up early to hold a position. That said, if DYNAMIC EAGLE were able to settle happily into his own rhythm then he’d sprint too well for these with clear running room in the straight.

Results: 5th DH (-4 units)(-1 unit) -> (-5 units)

The eighth race presents a couple of runners that I believe are worth specking at odds given how this race will be run. There’s plenty of speed on paper that should mean VOLPINO and IMPERIAL CONCORDE will get their chance to work into the finish late in the race. The former is untried on the surface but I have liked how he’s worked in trials on the dirt and the distance suits him.

Result: 2nd (-1.5 units) + 1st @ $12.75 (+17.6 units) -> (16.1 units)
