Back at Northam for this week’s midweek meeting before the (hallelujah) return to HQ on Saturday for the opening meeting of the season.
Race 1 – 1:59PM TABTOUCH BETTER YOUR BET HANDICAP (1600 METRES)
4. George Gently 1. Strike Now – 5. Annihilator – 2. Keeper Sweet
George Gently
Just loved the way this horse handled a big step up in class last start going from a maiden win to a Saturday 60+. He just got no luck in the straight there in a slowly run race and loved the way he hit the line. Still only lightly-raced, really like him as a type and think in the small field he can keep these within striking distance and get over them late.

9. Identifier – 6. Amjaad – 5. Nunes – 2. Citinio
Identifier
Have really liked the trials of Identifier heading into today’s debut run. Never saw daylight at her most recent and in a trial where they went along in very slick time, she was doing things very, very easily under Holly. At $5.00 I think she’s worth something on with Simon Miller’s Amjaad the clear next best, for me Nunes is at a crossroads.

Race 6 – 5:10PM WESTERN RACEPIX HANDICAP (1300 METRES)
6. Visions Of Grace – 1. Bigdayonit – 3. Canni Coni – 5. Dadirra
Visions Of Grace
Really keen on this filly’s chances today at Northam, just looking for a bit more of a price. Really impressed me with her win on debut, posted a terrific figure in doing so and just got a bit shuffled back further than she would have liked in the run, briefly held up once they turned for home but once she found clear air I thought she let down like a very smart horse. Can land right in behind them here from the barrier and is in the right stable to improve on what she produced on debut, just want $2.70+ to be betting up.
