Horse Racing Tips: Sunday, August 30th

Sale Race 2 (Market)

(5) Rubick Kingdom looks hard to beat here. He was very well supported off some nice jump outs leading into a Pakenham synthetic maiden, just finding one better in Zipping Boy. That horse ran 2nd (albeit beaten 5L) in a good BM64 behind what is potentially a very good horse in The Gauch. Switches over to turf here but I doubt the good 4 surface slows him down, and he should be able to find the front or very close to it here. Just need Dwayne Dunn to either cop a bit of pressure or actually ride a leader properly and Rubick Kingdom should be too strong. (9) Akaka Falls also ran 2nd on debut coming from back in the field. He switches to a good surface here and whilst the extra 100m will suit, I just worry that he’ll be giving Rubick Kingdom a decent head start so from a map perspective Rubick Kingdom looks the horse to beat.

Sale Race 8 (Market)

(11) Mrs Beckham looks a huge chance here in a great race for a Sunday. National hero Barocha was scratched as the even money favourite, which is unfortunate because this is a huge step up from an impressive maiden win. Mrs Beckham comes here 2nd up after a very solid 4th over 1000m first up. She notably drifted in the betting that day due to being first up at the short course, which is far short of her best. She still ran very well, only beaten 2L by High Risk who is flying. 2nd up last prep she bolted in with a 3yo maiden plate as the $2.10 favourite, putting up 3.75L on 3rd placed Nonconformist, who is a very handy horse. Mrs Beckham has run well in group races and looks suited at 1200m here. She has drawn wide and for a horse that likes to be just off the pace that can be tough, however the 1200m Sale start has a very long run to the one and only turn, so being wide isn’t the worst thing, especially if you can obtain cover. The current favourite is (8) Sierra Sue and whilst she won her maiden over 1100m at this track, she’s better suited at 1600m and potentially 2000m in time, so the 1200m first up does look a bit short. Keen Mrs Beckham and she’d be my best value of the day.

Wyong Race 4 (Market)

Quite a few debutants here which can make it tricky, but they’ll need to be quite good to beat (9) Elizabeel. She comes here 2nd up after a good run 1st up at Canterbury, running 2nd to Raison D’etre. She did a bit of early work there, eventually hunting up to sit outside the leader & winner. Canterbury is a track that you generally need to be on the rails to win, so her effort there was very solid behind a handy horse. 2nd up in her first prep she ran 2nd to Bellevue Star before running 3rd to Peltzer and Overlord. That’s group 1 form and she lobs in a maiden at Wyong on a Sunday. Draws barrier 9 but should be able to get across and potentially even lead this field, and at the set weight conditions of this race she should be way too strong. Keen.

Wyong Race 8 (Market)

The favourite (5) Cultural Amnesia should be odds on here in my opinion. This now 3yo colt has had 4 starts, winning one (a Kenso maiden). He took on some handy races in his 2yo season, running a nose 2nd to Thermosphere and did start an $11 chance in the Sires Produce but was well beaten after leading, which may have just been a bit much early on his career. He’s had two trials to prepare for this and won the most recently over 1030m nicely, mustering well to lead and powering away under light riding, whilst a few behind him were ridden out to keep up. He maps superbly from barrier 4, either leading or box seating and the only slight negative I can find is that he’s never been on a good track with all runs on soft or heavy. From a type perspective he’s a fairly imposing chestnut and I certainly have no qualms about him on top of the ground. The best horse in the race is likely (4) Aspect Ratio, but he’s a stayer coming here first up over a distance far too short in which he draws the carpark and surely won’t keep up early, meaning he’ll be near last and giving Cultural Amnesia a huge head start. He’ll hit the line nicely, but this isn’t his race. I wouldn’t be shocked to see Cultural Amnesia start in the red.
