Early Plea has only made two appearances at the races so far, but he looks a horse of ability and can break his maiden at Swan Hill this afternoon.
The Star Witness gelding finished second on debut at Donald and ran home well again to fill the minors of his only other start.
On exposed form, he’s the one to beat today.
Mr Raikkonen will take winning form into the sixth at Swan Hill today and can continue his rise through the grades.
The Shamus Award colt filled the minors on debut at Pakenham, and broke his maiden in style at Wangaratta last time out.
This is obviously harder, but it does look the next logical step, and he is a horse on the rise.
Invictus Prince hasn’t shown his best form this preparation, but this is an enormous drop in class and he is up to winning.
The Dansili gelding once famously ran second behind Winx in Group 1 company and while he hasn’t quite scaled those heights again, he has returned several pleasing efforts in town.
He should be at peak fitness for this race and the $8 available at publish looks over the odds.
Tessera has improved for three starts this time and is ready to win at Tuncurry this afternoon, at a price.
The former Godolphin galloper needed the run when seventh in his first start back from a spell at Canberra, and he has since placed in two BM64 races at Gosford.
That form looks to be better than anything else in this field and with even luck from the draw, he’s another that looks over the odds at around $8.
