Top Picks: Pereille & Tajalat
02-08-2025
Wishing the very best of luck to all our owners, trainers, and jockeys heading into today’s races. A solid team of runners stepping out across the country – here’s Luke’s take on their chances. 🏇🇦🇺
📍 Eagle Farm – Race 5 – 2:28pm – ZAPHOD
Nice stayer who is running well enough this prep albeit down on what he can do – this is a nice drop in grade for him and the map works well – I'm not convinced on him this prep so each way confidence is only 5/10 but if he is to do something this prep it has to be this race as everything looks suitable for what he likes.
📍 Gold Coast – Race 4 – 2:44pm – INVER PARK
Big gross horse who always takes a few runs so not expecting him to be winning – each way confidence is low as it’s a very good race – ew confidence 4/10.
📍 Newcastle – Race 7 – 3:55pm – LINWOOD
Is big odds here probably rightly so on current form but first run for Paul Snowden and he seems particularly happy with her – It’s not an impossible race but each way confidence is only at 5/10.
📍 Eagle Farm – Race 9 – 4:50pm – PEREILLE
A good thing on paper here – he has worked well but a few negatives – firstly not won for 448 days and the second thing is it’s a long way to travel from Victoria to QLD – but Tony was happy with his work and importantly his data and he is by far the best placed horse in Australia here so he should be awful hard to beat. He will look a bit big in the yard so if you are punching out back him late albeit all the computers and bots will I’m sure be on him – win confidence is 7/10.
📍 Toowoomba – Race 5 – 7:34pm – TAJALAT
First up here after a mixed and slightly disappointing first campaign in Australia. This is a decent drop in grade and she is ready to go and is our best of the day – win confidence 8/10.
