Eight races feature on Wednesday's Sale card. (Getty)
Sale hosts an eight-race country program in Victoria on Wednesday, April 8, with a blend of progressive types and returning runners shaping a competitive midweek card.
Form lines from recent provincial and metro meetings provide strong reference points throughout the program, while broader insights can be followed via Group 1 Futures Markets.
Sale Tips April 8
No.1 Car Wash Maiden Plate Tips (Race 1)
Sale Favourite - Race 1 No. 8 Good Harmony
She was mostly consistent throughout five appearances in her first campaign earlier in the season, which included three placings.
The market found her on all occasions, with Good Harmony starting under $4 five times, and she was odds-on in two of those attempts.
The three-year-old steps to 1732m third-up off a good closing effort at Bendigo last time, where she was set a big task when settling back, but got home with the race’s fastest closing sectionals.
That followed a pass-mark return in a hot Sandown maiden on March 11.
There is an opportunity to settle closer this time from a kinder draw, and with that recent mile run under the belt, this looks as good a chance as any for Good Harmony to breakthrough.
Kress Robot Mowers BM66 Handicap Tips (Race 5)
Sale Best Bet - Race 5 No. 6 Choir Point
It was a strong March for the Matt Laurie stable, who recorded eight winners at a strike rate of 26% for the month.
Laurie prepares Choir Point, who was a brave debut winner at Pakenham earlier in the season, doing some work before holding on for a half-length victory over Conflict.
That form has held up, with Conflict winning both first-up and second-up in March.
She was then far from disgraced in stronger company, finishing fourth-of-11 up the Flemington straight before a sixth-of-16 in a Group 3 at Caulfield, where she perhaps should have finished closer after being held up at key stages.
The three-year-old resumes here off two jump-outs, the latest a comfortable Caulfield Heath win on March 25, with Daniel Stackhouse taking the reins after partnering her in her last two public hit-outs.
Programmed Property Services BM62 Tips (Race 7)
Sale Value Bet - Race 7 No. 2 Blue Cowboy
There were encouraging signs throughout five runs in his last campaign, which opened with a Sale maiden victory in October.
He failed second-up at Pakenham on a testing Heavy 9 surface, but responded with a runner-up finish at Caulfield Heath before leading throughout when winning a BM62 at Geelong on December 12.
While disappointing at Flemington on New Year’s Eve, he had come to the end of that preparation and was subsequently sent to the paddock.
The gelding returns here off two Cranbourne jump-outs, where he produced sound work in both.
Apprentice Ruby Lamont takes the ride, having partnered him in his most recent jump-out, and she has already ridden three winners, including her first race-day victory with this stable at Sale back in December.
Ladbrokes Mega Multi BM62 Handicap Tips (Race 8)
Sale Next Best Bet - Race 8 No. 1 Sabi Storm
With this longer journey in mind, his March 12 resumption at Pakenham was sound, where Sabi Storm made late inroads for a sixth-of-10 finish.
He recorded the fastest last 800m and 600m of that seven-furlong event, highlighting his closing strength.
The form from that race reads well, with several strong references among the top four, while Akicita, who finished fifth, franked the form with a Sale win in this grade at the next start.
The three-year-old registered his sole win at Sale two starts back on August 6, when holding off the late challenge of Zambardo.
That form has been well and truly franked, with Zambardo winning his next four starts before finishing runner-up at Group 1 level behind Via Sistina.
