Thursday sparks a bit of a different feel heading into Easter with this lockdown, but to add the flavour that we need, Toowoomba is holding a twilight meeting and the mugs are up and about over this news. The seven race card presents a Good 4 track with the rail in the two and half metre position for the entire course. What better way to spend April Fool's Day than having a bet at T'baaa!?!
The first event we kick off with a Class 2 over the 1300 and Heart Attack comes into this one well. He has the form on the board over the trip and loves the Toowoomba surface. The 5YO gelding should lead from the inside gate and gets all the favours here with senior jockey Micheal Hellyer aboard. He should be winning this.
In race two there is one man the mugs absolutely love and with big bad dog Baylee Nothdurft on board for the Currie yard on Dad’s Lad, we are full of confidence here. Three starts for a win, a second and a fourth this 3YO has hit the ground running. The speed has been drawn outside so if Baylee can hunt up on this gelding and grab a position he should be very strong late with some strong closing sectionals.
We take a pass on the third and the fourth event being wide open maidens with many non-starters but for those sickos out there trust the youngster in Kyle Wilson-Taylor in the third and Les Tilley in the fourth.
Over the 1640m we have a very tough race. We have settled on the top weight in Enjoy the Show and we will be enjoying it if Bubba gets this gelding home. He has the form over the track and trip and given he is drawn off them he can round them up in a small field.
In the final event we have a race in two; The Tenor toe to toe with Spirit One and with the odds on about Spirit One we are siding with The Tenor. He will be right in behind the pace and with the hope that Tapa takes on the filly, we can be sitting pretty in behind on The Tenor who also has loads of pace.
It's a tough night at Toowoomba; fingers crossed we have found a few.
