Daily Racing Tips – Thursday, March 21

Raging was 10 lengths off Bold Bastille on debut at Flemington earlier in the month, a horse that has since gone on to win another Stakes race last weekend.  

He did a bit wrong in the run and was green at times, but does have scope for improvement back a level from a good gate.  

Jamie Mott has been riding well of late and I think the pair will get a well-timed steer into this contest coming off the speed.  

Heaven Forbid is a lightly-raced mare making her fourth start for Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr.  

This smart four-year-old won her maiden first-up at Sandown back in January, sent immediately back to the paddock with potentially bigger races in mind.  

She tackled 1500m that day off a lengthy break and won by two lengths, so the 1400m tirp fresh shouldn’t pose any issues with Damian Lane back on board.  

Umetini is a progressive mare looking to build on a solid maiden win on the Hillside track at Sandown last month.  

Ciaron Maher’s four-year-old was given a gun steer under Blake Shinn to find the front inside the final 100m, a massive return coming off nearly a year-long spell.  

She should take plenty of benefit away from that performance, while she also handled racing over further as a three-year-old last year.  

Warmonger is a Stakes grade three-year-old that does appear well-placed resuming here over the mile.  

We last saw Mick Price’s gelding go around at Cranbourne back in November, beaten 4.5 lengths out to 2000m where he lacked a turn of foot when it mattered most.  

His recent jump outs have been good though, and he should find this a slightly easier contest back to provincial level.
