Beaumont Behemoths

Beaumont Behemoths 16th August 2016 

Future interest in the card at Beaumont today centres on the sprint maidens (races 3 and 4) but two opportunities present themselves squarely elsewhere.

The surface is nearly dry after 3 successive Heavy readings, suggesting a profile similar to the meeting on July 2nd which seemed to favour those off the pace.

Bet around these:

[3.45pm] #4 MERI RANI looks too well found at a shade of odds-on. Her 3 runs back demonstrate her to be well exposed, grinding over the top of the despised Satirical Dame in the best ground at Gosford before pack-chasing with Bowman on board in a highly dubious Rosehill fillies event. Heywood, the stable apprentice, has been steering competently, but the rider switch plainly does no favour to her chances.

I look to #6 Little Miss Brown, unsuited in the Warwick Farm morass first up and #8 Assurity, in a winning vein out wide.

[5.00pm] Assessors have #7 MATERNAL too tight at $2.6. She returns from a lengthy spell with an apprentice rider and a common-looking trial. While lightly raced, it would seem significant that the very highly esteemed James McDonald steered her lone victory.
