WARREN INSIDE MAIL

RACE 6

Miss Clamarosa has one win, four seconds and a third from her 11 starts. As well as that, she has three fourths and one fifth, spanning Victoria and NSW. She has been effective from 1200m up to 2200m; thus a mile on a big track is bang on the money for her. Jasper’s Way was $61 and 10th of 13 at Gunnedah last start. He should have been half the price and in the finish.

Bet:Miss Clamarosa to win (best bet).

RACE 7

Myalaby has raced 11 times for a win and four minor placings. She won a good quality maiden at Muswellbrook 1280m back in January; perhaps not as strong as this Benchmark 58 is? Whatever the case, she was the eye-catcher first-up at Wellington, charging late over 1100m. I’m Scarlett only won a Picnic Trophy at Moree last start but go back three runs to her last win and she beat Magnace.

Bet:Myalaby to win, exacta 10 to beat 2, Daily Double 1st Leg 10, 2nd Leg 3.

RACE 8

Insightful Award has won three races at 1000/1100m but her runs at 1200m are better than they read. Big run at Quirindi last start and Warren is a more favourable track to her. Podcast had a change of address this year and since then she has raced three times (earning circa $20,000) thanks to a third, a win and a fifth. Go well again.

Bet:Insightful Award to win, exacta 3 to beat 4, box First 4 Nos. 1,3,4,7,12.

RACE 9

Cheap Gas is a cleverly named son of Santos out of Talk Is Cheap. This Mudgee-housed gelding has shown glimpses on more than one or two or three occasions of being a better than country average horse. One thing we know for sure is that he has a powerful finish hence why Warren should be right up his alley. You wouldn’t see too many easier maiden wins than what Kermitsapet handed in when she won at home at Taree on the slop. That’s Better is a player.

Bet:Cheap Gas each-way.

COROWA TIPS

BEST BET

Race 7 No. 3: Warpainted

Shapes well here from the good draw at the mile again.

NEXT BEST

Race 6 No. 3: Amber Star

Promising Victorian that is back as well as she went out, seemingly.

VALUE

Race 3 No. 11: Miss Pepeha

Has run some good races in quote strong maidens around the district.

RACE 4

Miss Fennell has raced four times for a huge almost five-lengths Wagga maiden win on Australia Day which came after her three seconds, all of them pretty close margins and all of them behind decent quality horses in the area. Easy to like. Jato is back to 1200m from her honourable on-pace fourth in a strong edition of the Wagga Guineas. Fresh up and beat a very, very good lot at her only 1200m start thus far.

Bet:Miss Fennell to win, quinella 3,5.

RACE 5

Pride Of Jezza has drawn wide and is nominated for a mile maiden at his home track at Wagga on Thursday. Worth noting that his personal best performance was at this venue and this distance last start (but he drew 2 that day). Admit this is a pure hunch but this big Tarzino gelding Swamped (a $300,000 yearling) could pull out a big one at big odds. His first run in NSW was excusable.

Bet:Pride Of Jezza to win, Swamped each-way.

RACE 6

Amber Star is a lightly raced gelding that hasn’t put a foot wrong really in his three starts. The C.V is third, second and then first, that win coming at Benalla in early February. Had two sweet jumpouts to get him ready for the return. Tycoon Artie has the race fitness advantage. More than that, he is in cracking form with two wins and two placings from his last four starts.

Bet:Amber Star to win, quinella 2,3.

RACE 7

Warpainted has raced eight times for two wins and a third but of much more significance, he has raced at Corowa twice for a win and a third. He is a son of the Rosehill Guineas winner D’Argento so he is a most adept miler and will probably go 2000m himself sooner or later. Shapes very well indeed here from the good alley and with the claim. Bold Triumph has only won twice in 29 starts but has placed 11 times including two seconds into this. Can figure.

Bet:Warpainted to win (best bet), Bold Triumph to place, First4: 3 (standout), 5,7,10,14 (boxed).
