Tonight we have two heats of the 2022 SA Distance Championship (races 3 & 4) and three heats of the 2022 50TH Anniversary Cup (races 5 to 7) over the 530m, it certainly makes for an interesting night of racing. As always all races are Trifecta and First Four events.
Race 1 - It’s a toughie to kick off with and Burnt Now was a last start winner here in 30.76, he is well drawn here and looks one of the better chances on his last run. Paul Keeping is a strong type, he lacks early pace but will be running on strongly. Box Up 1.2.4.7
Race 2 - This is the Maiden of the night and Spring Monica is on debut here tonight, the Board kennel rarely produces one first up without winning and must be kept safe. Spring Pony along with Jalapeno Lad are racing well. Box Up 1.2.4.6
Race 3 - The 1st heat of the Distance Championship and we will go with New Year Tears who has been in terrific form winning three of his last five, he looks the leader again and will go close. Victa Haydn is the interesting runner, he is a strong performer who can run time over the 595m and 530m, he will be worth watching. Zipping Nebraska for the Tri. Box Up 2.4.6.8
Race 4 - The 2nd of the distance heats an I am going with Weblec Star who has the pace to lead and has won here in the past. Mr. Ibrox has won his past two and can handle the draw. Add Lashes Monelli who has a terrific record over this trip and must be kept safe. Box Up 2.5.7.8
Race 5 - The 1st of the Cup Heats and Fantastic Victor is the one to beat, he carved out a slick 30.09 run when winning the Match Race series last week and looks the one to beat again. Kinrock Star is a handy type he can run a cheeky race from down on the fence. Springvale Maddi loves a wide draw and is one for the Trifecta. Box Up 2.4.7.8
Race 6 - Don’t Tell Bluey was very impressive when winning here last week in 30.11 from a wide draw he is the form runner. Victa Grosso can carve out quick times when on song he will take beating if he lands on the lure. Auspicious Queen is an interstater who must be kept safe. Jack’s Well is drawn to run a cheeky race.

Cosmic Kid has been placed in his last three and is drawn to have every chance. Cruze Maguire made late ground here last week after being slow away and is a major player. Box Up 7.2.1.4
Race 12 - George The First can send us home on a winning note, he has the pace to lead and can run time out in front.
