Summary of Best Bets:

Race 8 No.8 Cuban Waters
Race 6 No.4 Bolted In

 

Turf Talk:

  • The track is rated a Good 4 but showers are forecast which could lead to a downgrade depending on the amount of rain that falls.
  • The rail will be +3m the entire.
  • Generally a track where it is an advantage to race on speed. If the track is wet, runners will likely come away from the inside lanes in the straight.

 

Key Stats:

  • Luke O’Connor brings three runners to the meeting and his stable is in good form with 13 wins from the past 100 starters at a PoT of +62.6%.
  • Caitlin Jones continues to ride well with 17 winners from her past 100 rides at a PoT of +48%.

 

Race by race overview

Race 6:

(4) Bolted In has placed in his last two starts and was hitting the line strongly last time out, so suited here today rising in distance to the 1600m. He sets up well from the inside barrier as there is speed out wide which gives him the chance for a soft run and has won at this track previously which can prove an advantage. (5) Moussaka is next best. (1) Rob The Bank has claims. (8) Limbering rounds out the numbers.

Selections:

(4) Bolted In
(5) Moussaka
(1) Rob The Bank
(8) Limbering

Suggested Bet: Win (4) Bolted In

 

Race 8:

(8) Cuban Waters was a winner two starts back at Oakbank before taking a sharp step up in level into a strong Saturday grade race. She was outclassed there so should be much better suited back down in level here today and gets a favourable race map. She races up on speed so should be suited on this track and with a potentially moderate speed in this race, she looks likely to land in a strong position and should take catching. (3) Territorian is next best. (2) Duo Perna has claims. (14) My Crackling rounds out the numbers.

Selections:

(8) Cuban Waters
(3) Territorian
(2) Duo Perna
(14) My Crackling

Suggested Bet: Win (8) Cuban Waters
