Verdict

Good contest. KRANICH (4) has been knocking on the door all campaign. Has hit the line strongly in his last two after getting a long way back from wide gates. Draws to settle closer this time, and if he lets down with the same turn of foot, he will prove very tough to hold out. OLLIE'S SECRET (3) pushed forward and proved too tough for them over this trip at Mudgee last time. This isn't much tougher so if he holds his form he will be right there again. LOCKDOWN GAMBLE (1) returns and is a noted fresh performer. Has trialled sharply in readiness and all signs point towards a bold return, though he does have the big weight to carry. MOUNTAIN TOP (2) is on the quick back up after sitting on the pace and boxing on well to finish third at Parkes nine days ago. Good effort last start and she should be at her top now. Gets her chance to break a long run of outs.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Trifecta

A wager picking the first, second and third horses in the exact order. A trifecta box means paying more to ensure the horses can finish in any order in the top three spots.

Bobble/Stumble

A slip or a duck from a horse trying to leave the starting gates, often caused by the surface giving way under the feet. This can range from a mild misstep to a stumble down to their knees.

Claiming Race

A race in which horses are entered for a certain price, or claiming tag, which is also their sales price. An owner can claim any horse entered for the tag before the race begins, and owns them as soon as the gates open.
