Trots May 15, Tips and Previews
Albion Park, Race 1
10
VENUS JUJON
Fond Memories the odds-on favourite for this Qbred Triad Final for mares and will be hard to beat. We think there is more value in Venus Jujon each-way at $7. Racing well and third in the consolation here last start, drawn one off the front row and she can give a big sight.
Globe Derby Race 6
2
DOUGS DIVA
Encipher will be unbackable to win the Group 1 Allwood Final but Dougs Diva looks just as certain to run a place and the quinella looks a good bet too. Only beaten a half-head behind Encipher in the heat last start with the first two pulling well clear of their rivals and they look the best two in the race.
Melton, Race 5
14
TORRID SAINT
Racing consistently and favoured by the draw here. Finished fourth behind Major Manbar (favourite here) last start and looks well worth an each-way bet to turn the tables here.
Melton Race 7
7
ONA HIGHWAY TOHELL
Won his last start here in a heat of the Horse and Hound and looks ideally placed from the pole in this. Has plenty in his favour and in a open race makes plenty of appeal at the current $4.90 on offer.
Melton, Race 8
4
MAX DELIGHT
Will be short (currently $1.70) but does look the winner. Fourth off the second row at Melton last time and gets the front row here. Whatever beats him wins.
Menangle, Race 1
1
BUNDORAN
They are offering $3 for this pacer which looks attractive based on his last start win here. Has won three of his past four starts here and looks a rock solid bet with Amanda Turnbull again doing the steering.
Menangle Race 5
2
ALTA ORLANDO
Looks an even race for the Group 3 Horse and Hound Pace but Alto Orlando certainly one of the main chances. Won his last start here and gets the pole here so at the $3.50 currently available makes strong appeal.
Menangle, Race 7
7
SHANNONSTHEMAN
Another short-priced favourite here in Major Roll but we’re happy to take a chance on Shannonstheman at the $4 on offer. Scored comfortably last start over 1609m at Newcastle when aided by the pole draw but looks the main danger to the favourite in a two horse race. Could be worth standing this pair out in the trifecta and hoping for a return.
