Time come for Brinks
The Temperence Oaks Trophy, a Restricted Overnight Allowance contest for three-year-olds and upwards (non-winner of an Overnight Allowance race lifetime), is the feature contest on the nine-race card tomorrow.
Ten runners are down to compete going 6 ½ furlongs (1,300m).
Below is an analysis of the 10 runners nominated to start in the Temperence Oaks.
1. HELICOPTER: (6 b g by Storm Craft — Face Tracker) — Has no form to recommend for a winning run. Helicopter is going to be left behind.
2. RING CHARMER: (5 b m by Where’s The Ring — Charming Beauty) — Ran well last time out on March 12 when finishing second by half-a-length to Press Conference over the straight (1,000m) course. Ring Charmer, based on that effort, could run well here once again. Note: figure 8 is off.
3. BRINKS: (4 b g by Bern Identity — Indian Bluff) —Classic-placed runner who made an encouraging seasonal re-entry on Easter Monday, April 10. Brinks chased home Madelyn’s Sunshine to the winning post, getting beaten by 3 ¾ lengths in a quick 1:05.3 for 5 ½ furlongs (1,300m). With the run under his belt and a more relaxed pace expected, Brinks can get off the mark in only his second outing for the year.
4. BIG BIG DADDY (6 dkb h by Natural Selection – Just A Flutter) – A consistent runner who seems to be finding it very hard to locate the winners’ enclosure at this level. Big Big Daddy finished third by 6 ½ lengths behind Money Monster and stablemate Crimson in the King’s Plate over 7 ½ furlongs (1,500m) recently. Big Big Daddy should once again go home earning.
5. GAMBLER: (6 b m by Freedom For Jante — Kennisha) — Based on current form, he should be hard-pressed to land a blow. Gambler has no realistic chance of success.
6. D HEAD CORNERSTONE: (4 b c by Bern Identity – Soul Of The Heart) – Has not run a good race at this level in seven outings. For D Head Cornerstone the trend is going to continue. Note, D Head Cornerstone races with the visor off, and the figure 8 on.
7. BLUE VINYL: (4 ch c by Bern Identity — Blufield) —Double Classic winner of last year, who makes his seasonal debut. Blue Vinyl last raced on December 17, 2022, finishing fourth by 6 ¼ lengths behind Prince Marshall over a mile. Based on his class and talent, Blue Vinyl can return with a bang.
8. RUM WITH ME: (6 b h by Casual Trick – Zacap) – Should not trouble the principals here. Note, Rum With Me races with the visor off.
9. SUPER DUPER: (5 b m by Natural Selection – Patara) – Would prefer it a little shorter, but Super Duper is expected to do her running from in front, and whatever happens, she will have to be caught.
10. OUTBIDDER: (4 b f by Savoy Stomp – Rumble) – Finished fourth and third in her two outings at this level to date. Outbidder, while not expected to win, will make her presence felt throughout.
