Daily Racing Tips – Monday, August 24

Swan Hill: Race 2 (1pm)
No. 9 Clinched

Clinched failed to fire at Bendigo last time out, but he looks a horse of ability and can break his maiden at Swan Hill this afternoon.

The three-year-old son of Dundeel showed promise at the trials prior to making his debut, and only just missed when second behind the potentially classy Diesel ‘N’ Dust at Wodonga.

Fitter third-up and from the good draw, he should be fighting out the finish.

Swan Hill: Race 6 (3pm)
No. 6 I'm The Business

I’m The Business hasn’t made much of an impression in two starts back from a spell, but I am happy to have another roll of the dice at Swan Hill this afternoon, in what shapes as a wide-open contest.

The Iffraaj gelding returned some lovely efforts last time in, highlighted by a lovely win over 1535m at Geelong.

He is a horse that tends to improve with a couple under his belt and at around the $7 mark, we can have an each-way play today.

Swan Hill: Race 8 (4pm)
No. 7 Yulong Storm

Yulong Storm is yet to taste anything but success since transferring to the care of Nathan Hobson, and he strikes another winnable contest at Swan Hill this afternoon.

The five-year-old son of Scat Daddy was competitive without setting the racing world on fire during his debut prep, but has clearly relished his move to the country.

His wins at Swan Hill and Bendigo have been eye-catching, and I can’t find a reason why he won’t be in the finish again.

Swan Hill: Race 9 (4:30pm)
No. 4 Starden Lass

This is a drop in class for Starden Lass and she can return to winning form.

The Denman mare finished second in BM64 company here at Swan Hill three back, but has probably been just a little out of her depth at Morphettville and Bendigo in the wake.

She’s at peak fitness for today’s assignment and she can go straight to the lead from barrier 6.
