Esperance Cup on Saturday

26 Feb, 2010 01:00 AM
ESPERANCE Cup day is on Saturday and the first race is scheduled for 1.33pm with the last (cup) at 5.23pm.

Race One is sponsored by Horizon Power and on paper it looks to be a two horse race. Diamond Royale is a last start winner and Outside Influence looks suited over the short trip. It’s hard to see Gosh, He’s A Toughie or Sundays Session threatening in a serious manner.

Race Two is the Stearnes Glass Sprint and quality youngster Henry De Horse is set to make his Esperance debut. He has won 3 of 6 and oozes class, an easy win is more than likely. Expedition was ultra impressive at his last Esperance run and He’s Smokin’ and Summer Crossing have both been racing well. Outsiders Jay Dee Rocks and Innocent Bystander look outclassed but they both possess plenty of early zip and are capable of giving cheek.

The Tru-Blu Hire Maiden is over 1200m and main chances look to be Flanno, Cyclos, Give It Time and Tanganyika but in all honesty looks very open. Pure Fandango might improve over the more suitable distance while Macmatey will have support too. The Esperance Combined Tyres Service Handicap is over 1200m and will be the first leg of the Quadrella. Deed I Do, Comes Round and Arcade Attraction are last start winners and Dancing Granada should find the race easier than recent assignments. Landmark Lady also gets in well and offers each way value.

The Farm and General sponsored race is over 1600m and there looks to be many chances. Ears Loppy will be one of the favorites after a slashing win at his last start. Stormy Express rarely runs a bad race and Silver Ambush and Platinum Lad are both recent winners. Spice Trade should be improved after his last start second when he powered home.

The Kalgoorlie Punters and Drinkers Club Handicap is another event with a host of winning hopes. Wing Star is shooting for a hat-trick and Miss Alonso, Western Crown and Twice The Speed have all been consistent at recent starts. Bravo Fabio is an interesting runner and Sarabella is sure to be running on with the light weight.

The Express Yourself Printing Esperance Cup is over 2000m and Telexden, Troubled Smile, I’m A Rocker and Our Calendar are the visitors this year. Burnzy has solid lead up along with the Brendan Corver trained Danish Currency, Just Sue and Hackett’s Heart. The Gift recently won over 1950m and Our Calendar Girl is a recent Narrogin winner. Key’s Ace has been consistent without winning, drops in weight and offers value for Trifecta/Quartet combinations. I’m tipping Just Sue on the strength of Willie Arnold opting to ride her and the fact that her Esperance strike rate is outstanding.

Horses to follow; Diamond Royale, Henry De Horse, Flanno, Deed I Do, Stormy Express, Wing Star and Just Sue.
