Rothwell Random is a two-time track and distance winner with a speedy 30.00 PB to his name.
It’s been a while between wins for the son of Mepunga Blazer, but he is worth forgiving on his run last week from the wide box.
He’s drawn much better on this occasion and should be bursting onto the scene late.
Kai Belle gave good chase to score over the track and distance on Christmas Eve, recording an impressive time in the end.
He’s now out in search of his hat-trick and has enough early speed to really challenge some of his rivals.
Osprey Athena put four lengths between herself and her rivals at Bendigo last week over a touch further and will take a power of beating from the low draw.
Zippy Tesla will likely push for the front early and another win looks close based on recent form.
Yacht Bale is a Group 1 winner that finished five lengths off in the Sale Cup last week. Has to be included.
Our Same Race Multi Selections are:
No. 1 Osprey Athena (Win)
No. 5 Zippy Tesla (Top 4)
No. 8 Yachi Bale (Top 3)
Whitley Bale’s wins are spaced but she does love racing over this trip with three wins on the board.
She’s been thereabouts in her last two starts at Shepparton and although facing a rise in class, rates the testing material having drawn ideally in Box 1.
