THOROUGHBREDS

Cranbourne: Race 6; #2 Sketch Down Arrow

I have always had a much lower opinion of Sketch than the market and that continues here. I don't think she's shown me anything to indicate she's better than BM64 grade, despite starting $4.80 in a BM70 last preparation.

Tamworth: Race 4; #4 Echelon Down Arrow

Echelon rates well in this and can be a winning chance but I'm not in love with his race map so feel he looks quite short in how this market currently is. There is speed drawn all around him so the 4kg apprentice will have to make some quick decisions as there could be plenty of pressure. Again, he is a winning hope but feels short

Melton: Race 7; #10 Kennys Son Down Arrow

Kennys Son went around at $1.20 and won its maiden last week. Taking on much more experienced horses here tonight and from barrier 10 just have to be willing to take it on.
