In another first for TRL, two teammates will clash at Eagle Farm this Saturday for the QLD Rogues. 

Owners won’t know which way to look with The Big Goodbye and Hot Spring Gold clashing in Race 7 at headquarters over 1200m. 

While at Flemington, VIC Husslers will be cheering for Bellinger down the famous Flemington straight. 

 

TRL UPCOMING RUNNERS : 

The Big Goodbye: March 25 – Eagle Farm

Hot Spring Gold: March 25 – Eagle Farm

Bellinger: March 25 – Flemington 

Lethal Thoughts: April 1 – Bendigo 

Cool Jakey: April 8 – Royal Randwick

 

Good luck to all owners now let’s check out the major chances for your TRL Trainers this Saturday.

 

CLASH OF THE ROGUES

The Qld Rogues two most successful horses clash at Eagle Farm this Saturday. 

Rob Heathcote on The Big Goodbye said, “The Big Goodbye couldn’t be any better, he’ll go forward and hopefully sit outside the leader in Greyworm and as you all know will give an almighty kick.” 

Chris Munce on Hot Spring Gold said, “While the 1200m is probably short of Hot Spring Gold’s pet distance, this horse has come on since his first-up effort and is capable of causing an upset.”

BET: The Big Goodbye – Win (Eagle Farm Race 7)

BET: Hot Spring Gold – Place (Eagle Farm Race 7)

 

BELLINGER IN CAREER BEST FORM

Bellinger is now a five-time winner for the VIC Husslers and is looking for a hat-trick of wins when he lines up down the famous Flemington on Saturday. 

“Bellinger is going better than ever and while this is a tougher assignment then the two wins in Adelaide, it’s a wide-open race which he deserves a crack at,” trainer Ben Hayes said.

BET: Bellinger  –  Each Way (Flemington Race 9)

 

FREEDMANS HAVE A VERY NICE HORSE 

While Richard and Will Freedman have three very nice horses for the NSW Tycoons, Pavitra is the stable’s pin-up horse at the moment and justifiably so. 

Pavitra was second in the VRC Oaks before winning the Kembla Grange Classic last start. I’m a massive wrap on her and have tipped her to win the Group 1 Vinery Stakes at Rosehill. 

BET: Pavitra – Each Way (Race 7 – Rosehill)

BET: Cognac – Each Way (Race 3 – Eagle Farm 

 

MAHER/EUSTACE ANOTHER BIG DAY

Another huge day for the Maher/Eustace stable with Melbourne Cup champion Gold Trip the one to beat in the Group 1 Tancred Stakes over 2400m. 

Earlier in the day, Brave Mead can win Race 2, while at Flemington I’m really keen on Kettle Hill in Race 3 who’s already been smashed into $5.50 from $9 in early markets. 

BET: Gold Trip – Each Way (Rosehill Race 8)

BET: Brave Mead – Each Way (Rosehill Race 2) 

BET: Kettle Hill – Each Way (Flemington Race 3)

 

MARK NEWNHAM LOOKING FOR SUNSHINE

Mark Newnham has no doubt Cool Jakey would have remained undefeated, “if he didn’t miss the start by a length, he wins again” said Mark on Wednesday at Randwick. 

In saying that, the NSW Tycoons have a really nice horse going forward. We are sticking with Mark at Rosehill and Sunshine Rising in Race 4 at $4.60. Sunshine Rising is fitter now and ready to win after just failing last start. 

BET: Sunshine Rising – Each Way (Rosehill Race 4)

 

GAI AND ADRIAN FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH

Not that they are ever out of form, but Gai and Adrian are firing in all states of the country. 

At Rosehill, I’m really keen on Cross Talk (Race 9) its coming off a good win at Newcastle and should get a soft lead. 

BET: Cross Talk – Each Way (Rosehill Race 9)

BET: Amazonian Lass – Each Way (Flemington Race 2)

 

Good luck and good punting!
