My favourite day on the calendar, one of the hardest but it’s the best.
I like to give a days preview around the country on this day. Wouldn’t say BEST BETS, more a guide and some to think about in races. Luck plays a massive roll in full fields and hopefully a few fall our way.
FLEMINGTON:
Flemington Race 2 #10 LOVELYCUT $11
A race where any of 10 runners could win and not surprise. LOVELYCUT dropped out to last from the gate fresh and ran the best L200m of the day (on a G1 day). Gonna need a good ride to not get trapped wide but will be strong late again.
Flemington Race 3 #8 PRESS DOWN $12
Another race with a dozen chances. This did flop at only straight run track but was found to be sore afterwards. Assuming the inside of the track is ok (?) If so he is one that will be up on speed and he does have the ability to run quick time. At the odds I’ll have a penny on in a hard race.
****Flemington Race 5 #5 POWERS OF OPAL $2.60 (Best bet)
Wasn’t in this ones corner but just everytime I look at the race no it looks to come back to her. Gun stable, bred to stay and big track with JMAC suits.
Flemington Race 7 #8 KING OF THUNDER $7/$2.40
Just seems to be a little sense of timing about him. Had the least suitable run of the trifecta in the Vase last week and liked the way he found the line. A big track looks far more suitable and at the each-way price I am happy to have a little bet.
Flemington Race 8 #1 ATISHU $4.20 (Best Bet)
Have been waiting for this mare. Feel the last two runs in high quality races have been excellent. Back to racing her own sex is perfect now. Best jockey in the world on top, rock hard fit and a mile at Flemington is suitable. Runner-up in this race last year.
Roughie:
Flemington Race 9 #7 INFANCY $13
Big fan of PHARARI, PONDALOWIE looks a good one and some others on the rise. Just think Bowman will suit INFANCY and that she has been going sneaky good lately. Ostraka form is good form and was 2nd best L200m behind that horse last start. The run before that was a total forgive with no luck. Can run well at a big price or add value in trifecta’s.
SYDNEY:
Rosehill Race 6 #3 TRISTATE $8/$2.50
Little e/w play for me. LEFT FIELD and INFATUATION look hard to beat but this horse has been solid lately. Two back was wide and still brave. Last start looked the winner but run down by a potential stakes class mare. That looks the right form to me, can be right on speed and give a good sight.
Rosehill Race 8:
Golden Eagle | Gibbo’s brissyraces.com.au
Rosehill Race 9 #1 FAWKNER PARK $8 + #4 RELENTLESS VOYAGER $5.50
I still don’t know about this bloke (FAWKNER PARK). I’m not convinced he’s going as well as last prep but I’m not convinced he’s not going any good either. Good splits last week and might have needed that run. Like the fact he is on the back-up and small e/w for me. He’s got most of them covered but I have no idea how good RELENTLESS VOYAGER might be and or how ready he is? Jockey is flying, Stable is the best in the land and the horse has quality. Might simply be too good.
BRISBANE:
Eagle Farm Race 6 #2 TRANSATLANTIC $3.50
Market is easy and saying I might be on the wrong one. He showed good ability last prep and just nosed out in a Listed race. Has had 6 months off and that is the query. In the Gollan yard though, trial was good and his best would win this. Returns a gelding this perp also.
Eagle Farm Race 9 #10 EXOTIQUE MISS $3.80
Short enough but looks to peak off the recent racing. Key here is getting Dolan back on. Light weight and expect them to be positive and try to sit outside leader. BROOKHAVEN at $14 can be value for trifectas.
