Bendigo & Sha Tin Betting Tips for Sunday, December 17th

December 17th 2017, 11:11am, By: tim_tips

There’s plenty of horse racing to look forward to on Sunday, December 17th and we’ve previewed the action from Bendigo (Victoria) and Sha Tin (Hong Kong) and offered our tips on every race below.

Bendigo kicks off at 11.45am AEDT and concludes just before the first race at Sha Tin, which is set to get underway at 4pm AEDT!

BENDIGO RACING TIPS

R1: Solar Star

R2: Lucky Cat / Dandy Jean EW

R3: My Mother Says / Wetakemanhattan EW

R4: Matthias EW

R5: Rising Hope / Assertive Star EW

R6: Ancient History

R7: She’s Beneficial / Bossy Miss EW

R8: Call Me Handsome / Deconi EW

Best Bet: Race 6 Ancient History

Not a confident best bet today but Ancient History looks well placed here. First up he ran well without luck at Cranbourne in similar grade, before striking a heavy track last time out at Sandown. His record suggests he takes plenty of improvement from his second up run to his third up run, so third up today with Damian Lane on in a winnable race, he looks well placed. Happy to take $4.40 with queries about the favourite Andrea Mantegna, who drops back from 2200m to 1500m first up from a 49-day break.

Best Value Bets: Race 4 Matthias EW / Race 5 Assertive Star EW

This 7YO gelding has struck form with three top-two finishes in his last three outings. He was a winner two starts back over 2500m, but ran very well to grab 2nd last start when dropped back to 1800m fresh off a 45-day break. Back up to 2200m should see him competitive with the claim for Tahlia Hope. $13 looks a nice eachway play in an even race. Assertive Star in R5 is a complete blowout that may be worth a dollar each way. The horse finished last first up, but has never placed in six first up runs. Importantly, he’s won two of his four second up runs and has won his only start at the track and distance. $61 available.

SHA TIN RACING TIPS

R1: Lean Perfection

R2: Goldington Horn / Spicy Double EW

R3: Ambitious Speedy / Corre Rapido EW

R4: Aashiqui

R5: Amazing Star / Turin Redstar EW

R6: Noble Steed

R7: Dashing Dart / Electric Lightning EW

R8: New Elegance EW / Roundabout EW

R9: Pick Number One

R10: Doctor Geoff

Best Bet: Race 9 Pick Number One

Progressive horse that looks to have a bit of talent. Won very well on debut but went down as the odds-on favourite under a big weight last start. Steps up in class today but drops significantly in weight as a result. Takes on a competitive field but he draws well and looks up to it.

Best Value Bet: Race 8 New Elegance / Roundabout

Very, very short priced favourite here with Ping Hai Star for the Size/Moreira combination, but at $1.45 you can leave me out. Thought New Elegance was over the odds at his second start for Frankie Lor. He was fair first up but he’s undefeated second up back in Australia, while the run of Roundabout last time out suggested to me he was ready to win.
