Best Bet Sandown r9 Data Point; Followed and rated this fellow very highly pre op but was frustrated with his lack of a knockout punch. He returned Gelded with a crushing victory and although it was on a Heavy 9 in a bm70, I think he can climb even higher than this quite rapidly.
Sandown r2 Nikitas; Showed ability as a youngster and at first start for Weir, returned to the top with a big come from behind victory beating key rivals and the form has already been franked. Each Way.
Belmont r5 Rising Sea; Winter racing returns to Belmont in the West where it often takes a few sighters to adjust the form from Ascot. Rising Sea is very well bred and has the ratings to remain undefeated this prep. Has already been solidly backed which is a good sign.
Belmont r6 Entrechat; In an even off season staying affair we are getting $8 each way on a horse that won a class 5 with ease last start and is using a 3kg claim.
Eagle Farm r6 Raiment; Brisbane is clearly the best program today however the recently redeveloped track has come under fire as sub standard. A wet track with drying weather only thickens the plot. Tipping before race 1 we just have to assume it is fair and watch the day progress before investing. This Godolphin filly has won 5 out of 11 with 3 2nds and a third, last start bolting in a group 3 in Sydney where the form always holds up in Qld.
Eagle Farm r7 Derryn; Group one racing and this Hayes runner handles all conditions, is in career best form and is each way odds. A repeat of it's last run see's it go very close.
