Doomben Race 8 Tip #1 Roman Aureus $2.60
This Wakefield Racing bred galloper has been a good money spinner for the stable, notching up 4 wins from 13 starts and earning $170K in prizemoney.
He is undefeated over the track and distance (3:3-0-0) and looks a great chance to add to that unblemished record today.
Whilst he is a dual acceptor having entered in a BM85 at the Gold Coast this Saturday, it appears this Class 5 is a more desirable option noting he won a Class 6 over this track and distance in August 2020.
Apprentice Justin Huxtable takes over the ride and claims 1.5 kgs, getting him down to a manageable weight of 59 kgs.
From the inside draw, Huxtable should position midfield within a few lengths of the leaders.
He will just need to manoeuvre him into a good spot near the turn, so he can build momentum and finish off too strong for them.
Wagga Race 1 Tip #1 Prince Aurelius $2.60
The son of Love Conquers All showed good early speed last start and produced a strong front running win.
He steps out to the 1600m fourth-up and is now at peak fitness.
The 3kg claim for Maddison Waters suits and from barrier 7, I expect him to roll forward and prove awfully hard to run down.
