Fridays 31st March Racing Tips By Rob Tweedie
Race 1 – 1:05PM SAILS REAL ESTATE MAIDEN HANDICAP (1000 METRES)
This race would have to be one of the most even maidens ive seen with most of the raced horses finishing within a few lengths of the winners at their last start. The 5 Bon Anna started short in the market here at her only start and found the line over 900 meters so with natural improvement i think the 1000m will suit. I cant leave the 1 Seduction out though it does have a wide gate to contend with and will throw the first starter 2 Silver Cloud Three in what looks to be a competitive race. 5-1-2
Race 2 – 1:40PM H & E LUCAS BACKHOE HIRE AND DAX KELLY BUILDER CLASS 1 HANDICAP (1000 METRES)
The 5 Always Flushed comes out of a good gate and should be camped just off the speed, 3 Halliday Road just missed out at Canberra last start and should prove hard to beat. The 6 Brookton Punch hit the line hard at Queanbeyan last start and the big Sapphire track should suit. 5-3-6
Race 3 – 2:20PM WES FLEET PAINTING MAIDEN HANDICAP (1400 METRES)
The lightly raced 5 Hajduk gets its chance here to win a maiden. The 4 Serging Rush has been there about in some strong maidens and the 11 Pluck n Sting has also been competitive of late. 5-4-11
Race 4 – 2:55PM S. L. HODGSON BUILDERS MAIDEN PLATE (1200 METRES)
The 7 Classic Wind just needs to find a bit of its early provincial form to feature in this race. The 5 Ribs should race handy from the good gate and can feature and 8 Its Academic ran a nice race on debut at Orange. 7-5-8
Race 5 – 3:35PM ROBERT SMITH HOMEMAKERS / SLEEP DOCTOR PAMBULA TRADIES SPRINT (1000 METRES)
The 4 She Zar is two from two at the track and from the good gate should be hard to beat again. The 3 Local Hero has some good form up north and looks like a new addition to the Nick Olive stable and will probable track the 4 into the race. The 1 Jacakaizane has had a freshen up and could find the line off a good speed. 4-3-1
Race 6 – 4:10PM CHRIS WALSH & SHANE DAVIS ELECTRICAL CLASS 2 HANDICAP (SCALED – 0.5KG) (1600 METRES)
After two runs in the 2 In Mums Memory should be ready to fire over the mile. The 1 Waltzing Willie is always competitive and 3 Tipta Tantivy can race well over the mile. 2-1-3
Race 7 – 4:50PM BEGA TRADIES BENCHMARK 55 HANDICAP (1400 METRES)
The 8 Singled Out should race well in this grade, The 4 Erins Zar should be competitive and the lightly raced Old Mans Angel will be in the mix from the good gate. 8-4-5
Race 8 – 5:30PM PLEVEY & SON PLUMBERS & GASFITTERS BENCHMARK 60 HANDICAP (1200 METRES)

Selections by Rob Tweedie.
Tathra Cup Monday 23rd Jan 2017.
Race 1, We start the day off with a 2200m race which is always a great spectacle for the crowds starting in the main straight and doing a complete lap of the big Sapphire track. We should see an even race here with most having multiple distance race starts recently. Little Miss Chelsy is a tough mare and will be right there at the finish.
Tips 6-5-3
Race 2, Bring Cheer was impressive winning by over 5 lengths last start and only has to reproduce that form to win this mile race.
Tips 4-1-9
Race 3, A nice little sprint race with a few promising horses that look like they will make their way through the grades. The top two Bonnies Marley and All Written fought it out last start and with Bonnies Marley coming out of gate two and a slight weight turnaround im tipping she will turn the tables.
Tips 1-2-4 keeping an eye in the yard on race day on the 7.
Race 4, The winner of this race is exempt from ballot for the $50,000 Bega Cup on Feb 5th and with Jayco winning his last two impressively he could just make it cricket stumps 111.
Tips 5-2-7
Race 5, Sunwisp is a prolific placegetter and should be fit after three runs in. Interested to see the the Great Britain bred mare Believer go round in this race, shes only had one start over 2100 where she ran second in Europe.
Tips 8-5-7
Race 6, The Tathra Cup looks like a nice sprint on paper. Sky Mission is fit and coming off a last start win. Looks like plenty of speed on paper with a few progressive horses resuming.
Tips 2-6-3-4
Race 7, Prying was a nice second on debut and should go on with the job here.
Tips 6-8-14
Boxing Day Races Sapphire,s Selections by Rob Tweedie.
Race 1 – 1:45PM PAMBULA LITTLE BOTTLER MAIDEN PLATE (900 METRES)
The lightly raced but promising Smiling All make the trek down from Kembla Grange with some strong provincial form and if right should be unbeatable though over 900 meters there is no time for mistakes. Tips 1-6-5
Race 2 – 2:20PM HOTONDO HOMES MIRADOR & COLOR CRAFT KITCHENS MAIDEN PLATE (1200 METRES)
Crown me Jacko has been there about in much stronger grade. Generally races on the speed and the experienced rider Scotty Pollard should be able to control the tempo and win.
Tips 2-5-6
Race 3 – 3:30PM GIPPSLAND TYRE SERVICE EDEN & SOUTH COAST TYRES CL 3 HCP (S+2.5KG) (1200 METRES)

Race 4 – 4:05PM BENDIGO BANK PAMBULA CUP BENCHMARK 60 HANDICAP (1000 METRES)

Tips 3-5-4
Race 5 – 4:45PM HEFFERNAN LENDING SOLUTIONS CLASS 1 HANDICAP (1600 METRES)
The topweight Hard to Kiss hasnt been far away over the distance in Victoria. That form usually holds up and although he has a big weight he should prove to strong. A close watch on the lightly raced fill the 4.
Tips 1-4-6
Friday September 16th 2016 Sapphire,s Selections by Rob Tweedie.
Race 1, Benchmark 55 900m Red Fender was an outstanding winner first up last preparation and after a recent trial should prove to good from the two gate, Pixi Rose won well fist up last preparation and should be in the mix, Still Missing should be fit after two runs in and should be competitive. Tips 4-5-6
Race 2, Maiden 900m Halona started favorite at Hawksbury when beaten three lengths at its only start nine months ago and obviously has ability. Call Me Anything raced well at Moruya last start and should be hard to beat. Severed was an easy trial winner and should be watched. Tips 6-1-11
Race 3, Maiden 1400m Loyal Hero is lightly raced with some Victorian provincial form, Her Name Is Rio can find the line from back and was ridden upside down on the speed last start, King Of Siagon has been racing consistently of late. Tips 7-6-3
Race 4, Cl 1 & Maiden 1600m Holyroodhouse should appreciate the firmer footing if we dont get any more rain, Ariake Fire won well last start at Moruya, Impulse is trained at the track and should be ready to run a nice race. Tips 2-1-3
Race 5, Benchmark 55 1200m Flash Magic loves this track and has ability, should race well after a freshen up, Our Finvarra won well last start on a firmer track Can She Kiss should be competitive. Tips 3-12-11
Race 6, Maiden 1200m Classic Conquest is knocking on the door and gets its chance to win here, Little River Road should be fitter and will appreciate the firmer track if we have no more rain, Myristica should be ready to run a good race after a couple of recent runs. Tips 5-7-8

Sunday August 7th 2016 Sapphire,s Selections by Rob Tweedie.
Race one sees a full field of fourteen go round over 900m. The 12 Jorgeus has only had one run earlier in the year where it started short in the market and wasn’t beaten far. From the good draw ill put it on top from the 4 Myristica and the 6 Janis who both go well but have drawn a little wide.
12-4-6
Race two and we have a full field of fourteen again doing battle over the 1400m. The 14 Sunday Hustler might be aptly named if it can take this one out. Got to the line strong first race start and looks like she could find the 1400m to her liking. The 10 Reciept worked to the line evenly at Goulburn last start and should be watched. The 6 Her Name Is Rio worked to the line strong two starts ago here at Sapphire and may be looking for the longer trip.
14-10-6
Race three is again over 1400m and i will go with the 5 Zaritzie who will be fitter after one run in from the 2 Loyal Toast who needs further but could produce on the roomy track. The 6 Myint has been racing well its last couple.
5-2-6
Race four kicks off what looks to be an exciting and tricky Quaddie. The Quaddie involves selecting the winners of the last four races and can pay handsome dividends for those successful. The 2 Duhallow led them up last start and just got pipped on the post. The 8 Still Missing is classy and disappointed last start in Sydney, forget that run and she would be the favourite. The 6 Madam Tilley was well supported when she won her first start.
2-8-6
Race five is a solid race over the mile with the 8 Tipta Tantivy coming off two solid runs in Sydney. The topweight Duvet ran a nice race at Moruya last start and the 6 Our Brown Eyed Girl should be looking for the trip.
8-1-6
Race six looks like one of the strongest fields of sprinters ever assembled here at the Sapphire Coast further reinforcing the impact of the increased prize moneys. The 5 Miss Liffey comes off a strong win at Moruya last start, the 2 Highly Geared goes well first up and 3 Burradoo loves the track and wasn’t beaten far in Sydney last start.
5-2-3
Race seven will see a big field of sixteen go round for the last leg of the Quaddie. Im going with the consistent number 7 Written In Blood to beat the 5 Barksdale who could be looking for a dry track and the 3 Snipps Parade.
7-5-3

Its shaping up to be yet another massive days racing here at Sapphire with recent widespread rains throughout the state trainers are looking far and wide for runs with their horses. We will see full capacity fields in the last three races which should put a bit of spice into the Quaddie.
Selections
R1 3-2-6
Running with the Nick Olive trained Unyielding having run five placing’s from five starts should see this horse break through for a deserved win. Danehill Devil was supported at his only two starts as was Three Bar so we will shoot those in as the dangers.
R2 4-1-3 The topweight is the class horse here but has to give his rivals 10kg so i will run with the Templeton trained visitor Sendari from Kaiser Sun and Thats Freedom.
R3 2-4-7 Redondo Rock wasn’t beaten far last start at Moruya and should strip fitter. The Victorian visitor Sondaice has solid enough form and Blowdakitty should get a nice run from the one gate.
R4 6-3-1 Outrageous Deal has drawn wide but always runs well here. I will put her on top to beat Jungle Edge and Military with the weight been the deciding factor.
R5 3-9-2 Shoulder Charge has been racing well having won his maiden here. I have put him in for first, Gresham Station found the line well last start behind Lothello so we will run with those for the placing’s.
R6 16-13-6 Lavington Star races well here and should be fitter after her first up run. Star of Bardell has plenty of race experience and has won at the track. Coolcat Dancer was an outstanding winner at Moruya last start and should be in the mix.
R7 10-1-6 Superb has solid form of late along with Debs Hope. Legal Tender won easily last start and should be in the mix.
