Kilmore Trots July 24th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Race 7
1
Torrid Saint - $2.60
Torrid Saint got stranded out wide in the early parts of his most recent start at Geelong last weekend and knocked up late in the race to run fourth in and eight horse field.
He was beaten eight metres by Always Fast but the set-up for him tonight looks much better on paper.
He draws the front row on the marker pegs and he should be able to put his early burn to use by holding the front from the inside.
The step down to 1690 metres might actually suit him if he can really make it a war of attrition out in front with the fitness he has on his side.
Next Best - Race 12
10
Sunny Spider $8.5/$2.10
The early price for Sunny Spider has been snapped up but he still looks good value at the current quote and he may even start shorter.
He is a lightly-raced six-year-old gelding and scored his first career victory at only his second start back on July 8 by winning a 2180-metre event at Kilmore by 11.5 metres.
The favourite, Sun of Sonoko, does look tough to beat here but he has drawn out wide on the track as well and he is getting a bit long in the tooth at the ripe old age of 11.
Hoping driver and trainer Nigel Milne can track the back of the favourite and use his pacer’s fresher legs to sprint faster late in the race.
Best Roughie - Race 6
2
Stingray Tiara $12/$3.2
Stingray Tara draws well and might just get the perfect trailing run in behind Soho Bollinger and Tango Tara should those two opt to go forward in the run.
Michael Bellman has options from the inside draw and all likelihood he will probably press the button early in the race to make Soho Bollinger work hard in an attempt to cross from gate seven.
He was beaten nine metres by Soho Bollinger and Tango Tara last start but with the drop on them in the run this time around he can finish much closer.
