Swan Hill – Tuesday, 16 December 2025

R1 – 6:01pm – Laser Electrical Swan Hill Pace - 1750m

11 – Katunga Express

9 – Lombok

13 – Archie Moth

4 – Mack Pack

Strategy:

Katunga Express has been consistent this season without breaking through for a win, but his recent efforts suggest that isn’t far away. He was a touch unlucky last start and prior to that was racing well against stronger opposition than he meets here. He’s a past winner at this track and with the right tempo can finish strongly late.

BACK: 11 Katunga Express – 2 Units (win)

 

R2 – 6:30pm – Laser Electrical Solahart Pace – 1750m 

11 – Five Oclock Wave

10 – Ronzel Rafa

5 – Colman Sign

8 – Brave Art

 

R3 – 7:00pm – Laser Electrical Fibre Optics Pace – 1750m 

6 – Happenstbabeachboy

4 – Cheers Poverty

3 – Ronzel Mickey

2 – Champagne Walsh

 

R4 – 7:37pm – Swan Hill Water Carriers Pace – 1750m 

6 – Skadi

8 – Lord Verde

2 – My Darling Devine

3 – The Ladybird

Strategy:

Skadi returns to the front row here which looks a key factor, along with the booking of James Herbertson. She can press forward from the draw and potentially find the lead, and her recent runs have been solid from tougher setups. This gives her a genuine opportunity to return to winning form.

BACK: 6 Skadi – 3 Units (win)

 

R5 – 8:11pm – Kiel Blue Pearl Family Night 13th Jan Vicbred Voucher Pace – 2240m 

3 – Carramar Titmus

8 – Bizzness Class

6 – Triple Rock Saint

2 – Joe Got Rolled

Strategy:

Carramar Titmus is a 3yo filly taking on older, more experienced horses, but she’s been running excellent times against the top echelon of her age group. She won the Vicbred Consolation last start and from the favourable draw, with James Herbertson engaged, everything looks in her favour.

BACK: 3 Carramar Titmus – 3 Units (win)

 

R6 – 8:45pm – Jan Slater Life Member Pace – 1750m 

3 – Lester

7 – Kyrgios

1 – Chalkncheddar

8 – Feelingoodfreddie

Strategy:

Lester is a consistent type who looks well placed to press forward and race handy over the short trip. He capitalised on a good run last start, but with a similarly favourable map he can again prove strong at the finish.

BACK: 3 Lester – 2 Units (win)
