One of Victoria’s harness racing power couples Amy Day and Matthew Craven have five horses heading to Geelong tonight.
Craven discussed his thoughts on the team, with Bettor Isolate to start the night off strong in race one at 6.03pm.
R1 – Hoyts Food Pace
#5 Bettor Isolate (Trainer: Matthew Craven / Driver: Amy Day)
Craven says – “He’s Improving nicely each run, his run at Kilmore would suggest he’s not far off being back to his best. We just want to see him improve again and if that’s the case he will be right in the finish.”
R4 – Beckley Night 11th Oct Pace
#3 Dance Away (Trainer: Amy Day / Driver: Amy Day)
Craven says – “He’s racing probably better than his form suggests. He likes Geelong and he seems to run well there. If he can be close enough, he can run well.”
R5 – Apco We Got You Pace
#2 Crime Writer (Trainer: Matthew Craven / Driver: Amy Day)
Craven says – “I would love to see him in-front and bowling along. I am not sure whether the one horse (Alby Two Chains) would let him go. He needs things to run to suit and he needs an even tempo. The races with slow quarters where they rip home, he finds that a bit hard. If he finds the front and runs along that would be ideal.”
R6 – Southern Cross Feeds Pace
#5 All Blazing Guns (Trainer: Matthew Craven / Driver: Matthew Craven)
Craven says – “He’s been racing in up in his grade a little bit through the Vicbreds. He’s come along way from what he was when he started racing. I think there’s a few there with good gate speed around him so it will be an interesting run into the first turn. He’s shown even when he has to do it a little bit tough, he battles on pretty good. If he can get forward and be positive, he will be hard to beat.”
R7 – Ocira Concrete Structures Pace
#6 Act Fast (Trainer: Matthew Craven / Driver: Amy Day)
Craven says – “Got it wrong last start, probably the wrong race. Back to two-year-old grade, driven quiet and hopefully she will be getting home strong.”
