B Shirley<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Two Wyndham workout wins during September, the last on 20\/9\/25 where he showed gate speed to lead before taking a trail behind subsequent Addington winner Indulge Me, got up along passing lane to nose out that runner. MR:2:05.1, 800m in 57.6, 400m in 27.2. That form looks very good now and heads to Northern Southland (at Invercargill) for his debut this Thursday in Race 3 where he has drawn the pole and has the services of Nathan Williamson. Expecting him to be short on the tote with only 6 rivals but \u2018where there is smoke, there is fire\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>To place a bet in this race click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tab.co.nz\/racing\/invercargill\/88cc8136-584a-4575-9789-539fe928a1c4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Beluga (3g Bettor\u2019s Delight \u2013 Arden Caviar) Tr. C Ferguson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Won workouts at Wyndham through August and September before his resumption at Winton (18\/9\/25) which resulted in a very good second to Rightazz, beaten 1\/2L after not getting a lot of luck in the running. MR:2:01.1, 800m in 60.4, 400m in 30.4. Well related gelding rating a half to four other winners including smart mare Ruby Roe (8 wins to date) and sure to be improved fitness-wise as he heads to Northern Southland this Thursday (Race 9) for his second start in a new campaign. Hasn\u2019t finished further back than fourrth in 5 career starts. A nice draw gives him a big show to pick up win number two.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To place a bet in this race click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tab.co.nz\/racing\/invercargill\/c8d2ffa4-f791-4ed1-9b64-a9ec189f53df\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Double Jeopardy (4h Captaintreacherous \u2013 Bettor Think Twice) Tr. S &amp; A Telfer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Five-race winner who has not started since May but has had two trials at Ashburton in readiness for a new campaign. In his latest trial, he sat back in a 6 horse heat before launching at the 600m to take control and kept going far too well for his rivals headed by Pinseeker, 4L away MR:2:04.6, 800m in 55.9, 400m in 26.5. Resumes at Addington this Friday night in Race 4 and comes up against a couple of \u2018smarties\u2019 so his odds could be rather attractive. Did beat the likes of Wag Star last campaign and the latest trial was impressive with quick sectionals.<\/p>\n<p>To place a bet in this race click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tab.co.nz\/racing\/addington\/4eb85659-b0ef-453e-9396-565467a0cefb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jumal (2c Downbytheseaside \u2013 Beaudiene Blinkz) Tr. S Reid<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unbeaten colt (5 from 5) who has been back to the trials at Rangiora (2\/10\/25) where he lined up in a four horse heat (Vessem, Chase A Dream and Harrison John). Only a 2YO remember, trailed third before working into the 1&#215;1 last 500m, powerful sprint to get over the top of his esteemed rivals last 100m, simply awesome. MR:2:00.8, 800m in 55.3, 400m in 27.1. Back at Addington this Friday in Race 12 for start number six worth $200k. Has copped a wide second line draw but that just gives his rivals more of a chance. Currently the top dog amongst the 2YOs and it going to take a mighty effort to knock him off his perch.<\/p>\n<p>To place a bet in this race click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tab.co.nz\/racing\/addington\/6364cfdd-6d3d-4578-a0c6-3b0da3874134\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nymbal (2g Lazarus \u2013 Glenferrie EJ) Tr. B &amp; G Hughes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trial winner in August after a promising debut back in May. Three race-day starts since against the best of the northern crop of 2YOs and hasn\u2019t enjoyed the best of luck especially in the last two runs. A last start sixth behind War Chief (19\/9\/25) where he found no gaps late and less than 3L from the winner. MR1:58.0, 800m in 56.8, 400m in 27.5. Gets his chance this Friday at Auckland in Race 9 for Non-Win 2YOs. Draws the pole and only has five rivals to contend with. Should be able to control matters from the draw and big show to get his maiden win.<\/p>\n<p>To place a bet in this race click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tab.co.nz\/racing\/alexandra-park\/c2658652-92c4-42ab-a686-0ec6502ef106\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Burnham Girl (3f Bettor\u2019s Delight \u2013 Tinisha Franco) Tr. M Jones<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Currently balloted out of Race 9 at Akaroa on Sunday (1st emergency) but Sam Ottley already the notified driver. Freshened since her last race-day appearance and a very creditable second at Rangiora trial (2\/10\/25) behind the very handy Midnight Miki in a 2:00.9MR, 800m in 56.8. Led on that occasion from wide draw and although squarely beaten in the end, had the other 7 rivals well covered. No grass track form to speak of but has placed in 1:55 and not to be taken lightly if she gets back into the field. Drawn handily too.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"8 October 2025 , Punters Info These horses have trialled pleasingly in recent weeks and this week (9\/10\/25),&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":61967,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4107],"tags":[1071,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-481489","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-racing","8":"tag-racing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115335541913878076","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=481489"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481489\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=481489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=481489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=481489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
