Happy Easter my fellow players and welcome to my home state of Victoria. Hope everyone has a great Easter break and get lots of eggs. Today we have a big card of racing and it all starts with this race, and it has drawn a field of 6 horses. The favourite looks unbeatable here but I’m sure all the owners believe their horses can win this. <\/p>\n

Distance Starts: 1:0-0-1
Track Starts: 1:0-0-0
Class Starts: 4:1-1-1

4yo NORTH LIGHT horse who has only once finished out of the top 5 and that was at his last start in the Gr2 The Hardcourt. Dropping back to stakes races today and has the inside barrier which will help. On his day he could easily take this out and is always a danger in this type of race. <\/p>\n
PP#2 112721 GPS TO FINISH LINE(KY) lgbost2yop D Evans $2.0
Starts: 24:8-5-2
Money: $1,017,455
Distance Starts: 1:1-0-0
Track Starts: 1:1-0-0
Class Starts: 7:5-1-0
Last 5 Starts: 02221<\/p>\n
4yo HENRYTHENAVIGATOR horse who with his last race became a millionare. He is the favourite here today and with his statictics you can’t argue with the odds. D Evans takes the ride on him today and look for him to be storming home in the late stages and edge them out. Hard to see him get beaten here.<\/p>\n
PP#3 178548 MAGNIFICATION(KY) skunkmaste D Dowell $3.0
Starts: 20:6-3-4
Money: $141,062
Distance Starts: 1:0-0-1
Track Starts: First Start
Class Starts: 1:0-1-0
Last 5 Starts: 22511<\/p>\n
4yo KINGMAMBO horse who is going for a hat trick of wins here. He has been doing most of his racing in the U.S but is now looking to do some damage here in Australia. Has a good jockey on his back and will need it because I’m not so sure he can win here. Has settled well in his new home and a good place chance here.<\/p>\n
PP#4 9021 WISDOM OF SOLOMON(IRE) ruthless J Kohlmorgen $7.0
Starts: 17:3-3-5
Money: $91,320
Distance Starts: 1:0-0-0
Track Starts: First Start
Class Starts: 1:0-0-1
Last 5 Starts: 32521<\/p>\n
4yo FOOTSTEPSINTHESAND grey horse who is the long shot of the race. What can I say about him? He is yet to make a 100k and it really hard to see him do anything here. If he runs out of his skin he may have a slight place chance.<\/p>\n
PP#5 181062 ARCHIE BUNKER(KY) boilerdave R Bailey $6.0
Starts: 19:4-4-1
Money: $155,525
Distance Starts: 1:0-0-0
Track Starts: 1:0-0-0
Class Starts: 4:1-0-0
Last 5 Starts: 52354<\/p>\n
4yo ARCH horse who is a bit out of form. Hasn’t won a race in the last 12 months and with the competition here he looks like he’ll struggle. Did have a big run last race but this is too hard for him to win.<\/p>\n
PP#6 73464 VORRIOR(KY) vor J Cox $3.0
Starts: 28:11-3-7
Money: $239,349
Distance Starts: 3:1-2-0
Track Starts: 1:0-1-0
Class Starts: 12:0-2-5
Last 5 Starts: 25213<\/p>\n
5yo SMART STRIKE horse and equal second favourite. Is always there abouts but what is interesting is that he has never won a race at this class. He is the oldest horse in the race and don’t see him winning here but a strong place chance is for sure.<\/p>\n
