We’ve picked out two races on the card to bet into below. The track is rated a Good 4 with the rail in the 12m position.
Check out our betting tips below!
Shaq looks the obvious horse to beat here coming off a good run at Caulfield when 2nd behind the promising Tavistock Dancer. I think that’ll prove a good form line to follow. He’s got a good record at this distance with a win and four placings from five starts and his only start at this track was a win. Williams stays on board and so do the blinkers after they went on last start. If he produces a similar performance he should be winning this. Sickening also looks a solid chance in this at around $7.00. He won over 2000m six weeks ago and drops back to the 1800m having been freshened up. Weir often brings them to town on the back of a country win and they generally measure up.
Value: SIckening $7.00
Godolphin’s Tin Hat returns to the races as a gelding for the first time and although this is a pretty deep BM64, he should progress onto better races than this in the future. He jumped out pretty sharply at Flemington recently and went to the line in front under a hold. Williams takes the ride after riding him in that jumpout and the Godolphin team are flying at the moment. Barrier 3 should see him get a good run in midfield and with even luck he looks the one to beat first up here. Amschel and Abyssinian come out of a race at Cranbourne which should see both be competitive here, while the Weir horse Six Stigma won at Seymour first up from a 23-week spell and has plenty of scope for improvement at just his sixth start. I'd eb surprised if he wasn't somewhere in the finish at double figure odds.
Value: Six Stigma $14
