Summary of Best Bets
- Best Bet: Race 1 (4) Crusader Voyage
- Next Best: Race 5 (6) All Kinds Of Folk
Turf Talk
- Rail out 9m.
- I just don’t like racing with rails out this far.
- Should play a bit to the front but just a wait-and-see approach.
Stats that matter
- Jack Bruce has saddled eight winners from his last 24 runners and has a decent enough team engaged today.
- Ben Thompson has ridden 10 winners from his last 50 rides and is going as well as anyone up here, although still showing a negative ROI of -20.4%.
Race 1
Some massive trust issues here when a 20 start maiden looks the one to beat. (6) Saturday’s Girl hasn’t been further off than 1.6L in her last six starts but still yet to win. Genuinely seems to not want to go past.
(4) Crusader Voyage changes from Waller to Bruce and might find this easier than Sydney. He looks half cat when they get to him in races but the form down there would be winning this.
(10) Tassorati is a weak animal but has the ability to sit up on speed if they like. That’s about as positive as I can get. (5) Dust Cloud looks weak also but is with Gollan and does get blinkers first time.
(3) Cool Drinks changes stables to Healy so just watch any money moves.
Selections:
(4) Crusader Voyage
(6) Saturday’s Girl
(3) Cool Drinks
(5) Dust Cloud
Suggested Bet: Win (4) Crusader Voyage
Race 2
Well (1) Brash Magic was $31-$71 on debut at the coast and the run was way better than that. Got back to near last and was the second best L600m, 400m and 200m of the race. Draws better here and can run a race.
(3) Two Minds has the Toowoomba form. Has been runner up at both career runs to date and the fight he showed last start was very good. Can win, would just have liked to have seen him run here before we bet.
(7) Katie Aine is limited but won a recent trial and could improve in her second prep.
(8) Listen Jani is with Gollan and she looks to have a nice action. Not bad on debut and tipped straight out. Ran last in her trial but not let go and feel she might be a big improver this time in work.
Selections:
(1) Brash Magic
(8) Listen Jani
(3) Two Minds
(2) L Profecia
(7) Katie Aine
Suggested Bet: Split bets if prices allow (1) Brash Magic and (8) Listen Jani
