THE GAME PLAN for Maryborough – with Michael Polster (@MickPolster)

                         

The Money Race

Really keen on Truman to get the cash first up from a break in Race 2 with Jungleface Jake and Chief Destroyer almost certain to fill the placings behind him. Below is how I’m playing with $100 total spend.  There won’t be thousands on offer but we should show a nice profit if all goes to plan.

Race 2

Trifecta: 4/ 10,11/ 10,11.  $40 gets you 2000%

First Four: 4/ 10,11/ 10,11/ Field.  $40 gets you 250%

First Four: 4/ 10,11/ Field/ 10,11.  $40 gets you 125%

Quaddies (x4)

1,2,7,8/ 4/ 2/ 1,4,5,8.  $30 gets you 187.50%

1,2,7,8/ 4/ 5,7,10,11/ 1,4,5,8.  $30 gets you 46.87%

1,2,7,8/ 2,6,8,10/ 2/ 1,4,5,8.  $20 gets you 31.25%

1,2,7,8/ 2,6,8,10/ 5,7,10,11/ 1,4,5,8.  $20 gets you 7.81%

BLACK BOOKERS – (Racing Today)

Sunrise Panorama (Race 5 no. 10) $9

Had no luck in the early stages and had to be snagged back to last before being unleashed late for an excellent fourth to Flash Of Freedom at Bendigo last start. He takes on the smart Tyler Bromac today and is giving him a 10m head start but he has a liking for these conditions and looks a good gamble on a 1 x 3 basis.

STAR TRIALLERS – (Racing Today)

Truman (Race 2 no. 4) $1.80

Competed at Australian Pacing Gold level last season and resumes today off the back of a trial second to Our Missionary Man (winner first up) at Ballarat earlier this month. He has the barrier draw advantage over his two main rivals, looks like getting an easy lead and from there he is sure to be extremely hard to run down fresh.

BLACK BOOKERS – (Ballarat last night)

Restrepo

Only enhanced his reputation as the next big thing in harness racing with a stunning first up victory at Ballarat last night where he ran a virtually unheard of final split of 25.9. Gavin Lang never let him go, so it’s scary to think what he may have run had he been given his head and it’s going to be a joy watching him rush through the grades this campaign.

American Muscle

Bounced to the lead as expected and after securing a lovely run at the head of affairs he slipped home in a very snappy 27.2 to win with plenty of authority. His win was overshadowed a bit by Restrepo’s amazing performance in the previous race but he is a quality horse who will be winning a metro race at Melton this time in.
