An Oaks target is on the agenda for Aquacade in the autumn, but on what side of the Tasman that will be could be dictated by her performance at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day. The Brendan and Jo Lindsay bred and raced filly will contest the Gr.2 Valachi Downs Royal Stakes (2000m) after she added a second win to her tally from just four starts when victorious over a mile at Te Rapa earlier this month. “Her form is good and I thought her win over a mile last start…

Showoroses to continue the heavy lifting
Aucklanders will be remembered for doing the heavy lifting when it came to COVID-19 lockdowns in New Zealand in 2021, and local galloper Showoroses (NZ) (Showcasing) is set to continue that trend at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day. The Ardmore galloper will be out to defend her title in the Gr.2 Rich Hill Mile (1600m) at Ellerslie on Saturday but will have to overcome her topweight of 59kg. The weight is a big concern for trainer Joanne Surgenor, although the South Auckland horsewoman can see the lighter side of the…
Bosson bullish about Entriviere’s Railway prospects
Opie Bosson has never partnered high-class mare Entriviere (NZ) (Tavistock) on race day, but the champion jockey is confident their first time together at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day will be an occasion to savour. Te Akau’s retained rider will be aboard three of trainer Jamie Richards’ black type contenders with Entriviere bidding for Group One honours in the Sistema Railway (1200m). Bosson and Richards were again a hot combination on the opening day of the Auckland Christmas carnival on Boxing Day with Belle En Rouge (NZ) (Burgundy) successful in…
Azzopardi’s Seaside Festival ‘Diamonds’
Anthony Azzopardi enjoys targeting Warrnambool’s annual Seaside Festival, notably winning the inaugural Summer Sizzle in 2019 with a talented young sprinter by the name of Whiskey Riot. Whiskey Riot famously went on to win the Group 1 Melbourne Cup later that year, while Azzopardi returned in 2020 to complete back-to-back Summer Sizzle victories with Whiskey Riot’s younger half-brother Slick Riot. Azzopardi is quick to point out that he in fact trained the quinella on both occasions. Azzopardi wasn’t able to snare a ‘three-peat’ in 2021, with the well-fancied Aston Titan…

How to spend $20 on the TAB Silver Chief Final
Form guru The Watchdog has touted Weblec Blazer (Box 4) as a “massive chance” at $13 to claim the $100,000 to-the-winner Group 1 TAB Silver Chief final at The Meadows this Saturday night. “He’s well and truly over the odds and if he can find the fence, he’s going to put himself into contention. You know how strong he is in the run home.” The form expert is a tad hesitant about race favourite Zippy Tesla (Box 3). “TAB had put up Zippy Tesla at $2.80 (now $3.20). He’s been…

After drawing the prized rails alley for the $100,000 to-the-winner final, It’s Only Money is a $7.50 chance with TAB. At just his…
