QUEENSLAND WATCHDOG – HELPING THE PUNTERS WHO STILL BET THERE
OUR new feature the QUEENSLA ND WATCHDOG is designed as an aid to the punters – they certainly need one – highlighting those horses capable of turning in form reversals which in our opinion won’t attract too much attention of the stewards or explanations will be accepted:
EAGLE FARM R2 (1.05) H2: LIGHTFEET LADY, $5.5: Disappointed a week ago when a tiring 5th to ROCKET TO GLORY at DOOMBEN. That will be point down to the fact that she was unable to lead if this mare jumps to the front and proves impossible to run down today.
CAIRNS R6 (4.05) H11: PAYTEEVEE, $5: Started odds-on favorite at Mackay earlier in the week and the least said about the run or the ride the better. It was the subject of a stewards’ inquiry and largely the apprentice jockey was blamed. The trainer said he would put a senior rider on for this (Chris Whiteley). Don’t be surprised if this horse improves a furlong.
EAGLE FARM R7 (4.20) H12: FLYING FUJI, $11, Never got sighted when 10th to WISH UPON A STAR over this track and distance a fortnight ago. This horse is much better than that and if he comes out and turns in a form reversal here it will be blamed on the track bias that day.
