I was with (4) Alontro on debut and it was a horror show, with the horse racing very greenly and basically throwing the race away. With the benefit of race experience, and the key gear changes of a cross-over nose band and blinkers going on, he should improve his manners drastically and be hard to beat here. The horse that beat him, Tramantora, had very solid form last prep and this looks easier.

Tip: (4) Alontro- $2.00 at TAB

Betting Strategy: 2 units WIN Alontro

Once again with the McEvoy stable, this time in the form of (8) Night Passage. She was given an average ride first up when Celine really should’ve taken a sit, rather than cross and lead on a very fast tempo, left a sitting duck late. She races well 2nd up, Currie goes on, the jumpouts leading in were hot and she gets her chance.

(1) Mr Cancun is the danger back in grade although barrier 1 with Logan McNeil on isn’t ideal.

Tip: (8) Night Passage- $3.10 at TopSport

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN Night Passage

Trent Crebbin

Trent’s interest in the thoroughbred started out as a spark with Black Caviar, became a flame with Winx, and has now intensified into a burning obsession with Arcadia Queen. He started out throwing loose change on random trifectas at the pub, but it wasn’t long before he was watching replays and looking at sectionals, weights and markets. Trent specializes in Victorian racing and hopes his first winner as an owner is just around the corner.
