The big guns are back, the markets have taken shape and Shaun Briene from Bet Legends has found three opportunities to bet against the popular opinion on Saturday.
This week’s edition of Take Us On heads to Randwick for two fascinating races, including the Group 1 Winx Stakes.
As always, Bet Legends will be putting their money where their mouth is with enhanced specials around the horses they’re prepared to oppose.
Randwick R8 – Campione D’Italia
Campione D’Italia has plenty of talent and there are bigger races on the horizon, but Briene sees enough potential negatives in his return to make him vulnerable at the price.
“He’s likely to settle last in what looks a moderate-pace race,” Briene said.
“His bigger targets will come over 1400m and 1600m later in the preparation. The time to take him on is now.”
Bet Legends Special: Campione D’Italia to run 1st or 2nd – $3.50
Randwick R9 – Autumn Glow
The Winx Stakes brings together two of the stars of Australian racing, with Autumn Glow and Sheza Alibi dominating the market.
While Briene has enormous respect for the favourite, it’s the level Sheza Alibi reached during the autumn that has him questioning the gap between the pair in betting.
“Sheza’s rating in the Doncaster sits in the top handful of our 30-year database,” Briene said.
“Autumn Glow is a champion in her own right, but we think the prices should be closer together.
“It’s pretty much a two-horse race, with the small exception of Beiwacht finding his best.”
Bet Legends will be top odds the rest as they look to get the favourite beaten.
Bet Legends Special: Autumn Glow to win by 1+ lengths – $3.50
