Premier trainers Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr saddle up a bevy of top chances this weekend at Wodonga, Mornington and Morphettville.
The stable’s best bets are at Mornington on Saturday where they have a leading runner in the 2400m Mornington Cup along with a flying crusader and adopted ‘Aussie’ in the 4th.
Race 8, 2400m
Mornington Cup
Hezashocka ($4.00, $1.75)
Hezashocka, have something on him.
Just speaking to Blake Shinn yesterday about how to ride him and he’s going to let him flow across the field over a mile and a half, I think he’ll find eventually he’s handy in that race.
I think 2400m should be superb for him.
I’ve been wanting to get him to 2400m but we’ve had all these big rich 2000m races and every time he goes around 2000m that horse, he’ll run 3rd or 4th in those races, so good for the owners, bad for the punters.
I think he’s a great 2400m chance in the Mornington Cup.
Tip: Win
Race 4, 2000m
Golden Crusader ($5.50, $2.10)
He can win again, he’s probably going to have to hold his spot from barrier 1.
The horse is flying, he’s lost his English ways, he’s become an Australian and he’s ready to go.
Tip: Win
