Sell this time? - Pioneering stays at 1,100 metres on Saturday and might be looking for further
Doomben Cup
BUY IT'S SOMEWHAT at $5.5
"The analysts will push his price in later in the week after some good indicators in the Hollindale Stakes. He was well-backed before the race and put in a huge performance after racing wide. A very strong each-way chance on Saturday."
Rosehill Race 2
BUY DANCE OF HEROES at $4.8
"Got slightly held up in the Wagga Cup last start and he's third-up back to his home track this weekend. Very hard to go past this Waller middle-distance galloper, he might have a touch more speed in his legs than the favourite."
Rosehill Race 3
SELL PIONEERING at $3.4
"She's a leaner tough chaser that surprised with a good sprint over 1,100 metres fresh. You would expect her to be looking for further now and the price to drift on the weekend."
Flemington Race 7
BUY MASTER ZEPHYR at $4.2
"Weir runners coming out of the 'Bool festival have a good record and this horse was stuck in the worst ground last start. He's the best of two or three promising stayers that are well-weighted over the two miles."
Flemington Race 8
SELL ODYSSEY MOON at $6
"He doesn't shape as a Flemington straight course type, a tough horse that gets on the pace and likes the sting out of the ground. Better next start over 1,400 metres or more."
