OVERVIEW: TRIPOD (3) hasn’t won a race since November 2023 but his recent efforts have been encouraging and he will appreciate a drop back in class for his assignment. He worked home well when a game second behind Berriesandcherries in the Wedderburn Cup last outing. IKIGAI (8) performed very well at the trials prior to racing without cover throughout and finishing fifth at Shepparton first up. She is a handy mare that boasts a good record and is worth an investment. PICKET WIRE (9) gets into this race nicely with the aid of a concession claim and should go well from the trailing draw. She did a good job to finish as close as she did after making an early error when fifth at Melton last outing. ALDEBARAN BOYD (6) and GRUMPEE (7) are both worth thought in an open betting event.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: TRIPOD (3) hasn’t won a race since November 2023 but his recent efforts have been encouraging and he will appreciate a drop back in class for his assignment. He worked home well when a game second behind Berriesandcherries in the Wedderburn Cup last outing. IKIGAI (8) performed very well at the trials prior to racing without cover throughout and finishing fifth at Shepparton first up. She is a handy mare that boasts a good record and is worth an investment. PICKET WIRE (9) gets into this race nicely with the aid of a concession claim and should go well from the trailing draw. She did a good job to finish as close as she did after making an early error when fifth at Melton last outing. ALDEBARAN BOYD (6) and GRUMPEE (7) are both worth thought in an open betting event.
