After a stellar weekend of racing, we are back with another slate of tips for Monday, the 27th of February. This week we feature eight race meets at Ararat and Coffs Harbour, giving tips for every race plus our best bet and best value tips below.
ARARAT RACING TIPS
R1 - Wolf King
R2 - Transfixed
R3 - Divine Command
R4 - Embroidery / Jester Jewel EW
R5 - Sarimanok EW
R6 - Sprung Dancing
R7 - The Mighty JRod
R8 - Flo Fo
Best Bet: Race 3 Divine Command
Ran well on debut before finishing midfield last start, but did come from last and finished off reasonably well. Yendall takes over today and the blinkers go on for the first time. Up to 1300m and the Weir/Yendall combo at these tracks is lethal.
Best Value: Race 4 Jester Jewel
Hasn't done anything in two starts to date but her debut was in a Group 3 and she was well-backed last time we saw her on a Heavy track. First up here on a firm track with the blinkers back on for an astute stable, might be worth monitoring the market at 25/1. Also like Sarimanok in Race 6 at $9.
COFFS HARBOUR RACING TIPS
R1 - Onemoremelody
R2 - Beyond Brave
R3 - Foxy Walk
R4 - Unique Miss
R5 - Go The Gantry
R6 - Laurentian
R7 - Steve's Surprise / Gundy Star EW
R8 - Star Fest
Best Bet: Race 3 Foxy Walk
Has won two from four this prep which includes a runner-up finish when beaten by a nose and last start's defeat to the highly promising Perfect Dare in a Country Championship qualifier. Can bounce back here in Class 3.
Best Value: Race 7 Steve's Surprise / Gundy Star
Both horses I like in this race are at good odds. Steve's Surprise was well beaten by Dixie Lad last start but he has won two from three when third up from a spell and gets a significant weight swing here. Gundy Star has won five from eight when first up and has placed in seven from nine at the distance, so although the form is hard to line up he stays under notice at $18 with stats like that.
