For those who didn’t quite make the cut in the evening feature of the Australian harness racing schedule, the Sew Eurodrive WA Pacing Cup Consolation race provides an opportunity to still bag a handy prize on the night. $25, 000 up for grabs and a competitive field to boot, and there look to be three main protagonists.
Motu Treasure is a well drawn 6yo here and could dominate as there isn’t stacks of great early pace up his inner. He was second here last week to Albert Jaccka, who runs in the big one, and that is good form. There is no reason why he shouldn’t reproduce that effort and is certainly a live wire here.
Jumbo Operator for the R J Huston team, who do really well here at Gloucester Park, is another with strong credentials in the harness racing betting. The 6yo has won 21 of his 29 career starts, showing that he is usually well placed by connections and he is a winner of his last two outings. Either one of those efforts reproduced would make him the one to beat here. In this sort of line-up, he could go off at something like 5/2, which if the case could well be good value.
Ohoka Georgia is the other interesting one. This 7yo won in a good time here last week and although has only won 20 from 90 career starts (still a good strike rate but not as impressive as a few of his rivals), this experienced pacer wouldn’t shock too many if playing a big part here. If doing so, could provide trainer G E Hall snr with a very profitable night.
Jumbo Operator is an admirable performer but we will just oppose him with Motu Treasure, who is fancied to go one better than last week in this similar company. Watch out, however, for the price available on Ohoka Georgia as he is fancied to make the frame.
