Gosford Racing Tips: Saturday May 6th
Race 4 – 3&4YO BM72 (13:00 AEST)
(8) Fall For Cindy won last start after failing the start prior in tougher company on a bottomless track. She’s promising and can win this race if she brings her best.
(3) Rediener was also tipped last start and ran on the same day as Fall For Cindy. He followed a similar pattern failing the race prior in tougher grade on a heavy track and will be a solid chance on Saturday.
(6) Dream Hour is an interesting runner coming up from Victoria after taking on some strong races throughout his time down south.
(8) Fall For Cindy win

Race 5 - BM78 (13:35 AEST)
(1) Think About It is a horse on the up and the sky is the limit for him at the moment. He’s drawn wide but will put in 100% and should be right there over the final stages fighting out the finish.
(8) Clemenceau is the other horse in this field on his way up. He’s better drawn than Think About It and maps better as a result. The query is with how wet the track will be as Clemenceau clearly needs dry ground.
(3) Bacchanalia was well beaten on a bog track last start but was flying prior. This is a slight drop in grade for him so expect him to bounce back to some form here.
(1) Think About It win
$3.40 (2 units)
Race 8 - The Coast 3&4YO (15:25 AEST)
(2) Military Expert will be hard to beat here. He comes out of a race last start which has produced 3 subsequent winners and he was clearly unfavoured in that race with top weight and a wide draw. A much more suitable weight scale here and barrier 1 should see him run well.
(1) Welwal is the obvious danger in this race coming out of the same strong form line. He was 2nd in the same race as Military Expert but carried significantly less weight and had a more favourable run in the back of the field.
(3) Thalassophile is almost the perfect racehorse. She handles all going, handles a variety of trips and is in stellar form at the moment. She’s not out of this.
(2) Military Expert e/w
$5.50/$2.2 (1 unit)
