Swan Hill Tips June 6

The Bottle O Swan Hill F&M Maiden Plate Tips (Race 2)

Swan Hill Best Bet - Race 2 No. 4 Home Zone

This Hayes-trained three-year-old is well-bred, being by Written Tycoon and out of Awesome Amy, who is a half-sister to Secret Agenda (Group 1 winner).

Home Zone was tipped out following a narrow debut defeat at Moe on December 17 and that maiden has produced four subsequent winners.

With a quiet jump-out on May 20 followed by a solid workout when winning an 800m heat seven days later, Home Zone looks forward enough to produce fresh.

Footts Swan Hill Demolition 3yo Maiden Tips (Race 3)

Swan Hill Next Best Bet - Race 3 No. 7 Plenty Of Grunt

Symon Wilde has a few talented youngsters in his yard and the market has warmed to Plenty Of Grunt, who arrives to this debut off some impressive lead-up work.

A galloper who is from the same family as Sirmione (dual Group 1 winner), this three-year-old has improved with every autumn hit-out ahead of Friday.

Plenty Of Grunt moved well on May 12 before taking out a 1000m heat at Hamilton and while he's furnish from this outing, it isn't a strong maiden.

Qube Logistics BM70 Handicap Tips (Race 6)

Swan Hill Value Bet - Race 6 No. 8 Etara

She was respected in the market first-up at Warrnambool and there were excuses in that return, where Etara covered ground and she was also slow to recover.

The four-year-old was still one run short second-up, but that Casterton performance was encouraging and the rise in distance is favourable here.

Etara saluted third and fourth-up over similar trips last campaign, which includes a victory over a useful Favourite Child (won five races since that clash).

Pooles Accountants Golden Topaz Tips (Race 7)

Swan Hill Feature Bet - Race 7 No. 2 Golden Monkey

Trainer Tim Fitzsimmons is in great form, with six winners and four placegetters from his last 15 starters (striking at over 24% since relocating from Singapore).

Fitzsimmons prepares Golden Monkey and while the gelding found 1000m a touch sharp on his Australian return, that Country Discovery effort was sound.

He's completed two jump-outs since that April 18 run and along with being suited up to 1200m, galloping room on a big Swan Hill track also looks ideal.
