Rosehill Race 4: #2 Unspoken @ +380

Unspoken is a European import set to kick-off his second Australian campaign and looks to be resuming in terrific order for Peter & Paul Snowden. He was luckless for the majority of his debut stint in Australia, managing to find the minor placings twice in four starts. You can make an argument the son of Territories should’ve won on both occasions had he got the breaks at a crucial stage. He returns with an outstanding barrier trial under his belt, and from gate one might need some luck again, but if it comes, Unspoken might be too classy for BM78 company.

Moonee Valley Race 10: #10 Hennessy Lad @ +260

Our best bet of the day comes up in the last as the Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman-trained Hennessy Lad looks to bring up a second straight win at the Moonee Valley 1600m. Having sat off the leaders last time out in BM78 company, the son of Belardo managed to sprint the best in the home straight and had plenty left in reserve on the back of a dream run. He will need a touch of luck from out in barrier 11, but if Carleen Hefel can have him settling outside expected leader Rambler Rebel or at worst in the one-one, Hennessy Lad looks to be far too good for his rivals in a field like this.

Doomben Race 6: #4 Deep Respect @ +130

Deep Respect from the Kelly Schweida stable kicked off his career in fine style with a dominant win at this track, before finishing second behind the smart Tiger Shark last start over 1200m on August 26. This three-year-old colt will step up in distance to 1350m for the first time in his career, but considering how strong he went through the line over 1200m, the rise in trip should suit. This son of Deep Field will retain the services of James Orman for his third ride in as many starts, and if he can push forward and find the one-one position from barrier four, Deep Respect will go very close to winning again.

Morphettville Race 5: #5 Run Like Hell @ +130

The Maddie Raymond-trained Run Like Hell was a hard watch for those who backed her last start at the Morphettville Parks 1250m. The five-year-old mare was held up for most of the home straight, and she did well to go down by two lengths in an event where she was never allowed to show her best. Barrier nine and the booking of Jake Toeroek should see the Hellbent mare take up the running, and if she doesn’t have to exert too much energy, Run Like Hell will prove too hard to gun down.

Belmont Race 4: #2 Oscar’s Fortune @ +125

Oscar’s Fortune began his career in the best possible way, dominating a small field of three-year-olds at Belmont over 1000m on August 30. This Dion Luciani-trained galloper led the field to the home turn and was challenged with 300m to go; however, when William Pike released the brakes, this gelding went through his gears and pulled away to win by just under two lengths. This son of Rich Enuff will have taken a lot of benefit out of that debut run, and now that he is fitter, he should be ready to take the step up in grade.
