Daily Racing Tips – Monday, February 20

Sapphire Coast: Race 2 (2:45pm AEDT)
No. 1 Too Sharp

I thought that Too Sharp looked good on debut, and he can break his maiden at the Sapphire Coast this afternoon.

The Bull Point gelding showed promise at the trials prior to his first competitive start, and he raced home well to finish second behind Southern Gun here late last month.

With natural improvement, he can begin his rise through the grades.

Warrnambool: Race 6 (4pm AEDT)
No. 2 Red Hawk

Red Hawk makes his return to the races in the penultimate at Warrnambool today, and I think that it’s the perfect launchpad for him.

The Deep Field gelding has typically contested tougher races than the one that he strikes today, and he doesn’t looked out of place in metro company.

His one win from just four starts came when fresh, and I think his class edge today will prove the difference.

Warrnambool: Race 7 (4:30pm AEDT)
No. 2 Likely Suspect

Likely Suspect faces a rise in class into the last at Warrnambool today, but he couldn’t have been more impressive when resuming, and I am confident that he can make it two in a row.

The son of Unusual Suspect raced greenly on debut here in August and was immediately tipped out, and the decision paid immediate dividends when he won by nearly two lengths earlier this month.

With natural improvement, this does look the next logical step for him.

Sapphire Coast: Race 6 (5:15pm AEDT)
No. 3 Get Shafted

A BM72 contest in town proved to just be a bridge too far for Get Shafted last time out, but he can bounce back at the Sapphire Coast today.

The Shaft gelding returned to action with a nice effort for third in the Moruya Town Plate back in December, before recording a smart win in BM58 company second-up.

He was a month between starts into his most recent effort for eighth at Warwick Farm, and I am expecting further improvement into today’s contest.
