Best Bet Ascot r3 Velago; Can’t get the last start performance out of my head. Missed the start, went bush around the entire field half way round and put a gap on them which he maintained if not increased to the line. His manners are atrocious but if he jumps he should be winning.
Caulfield r1 Eastender; I’m having great difficulty with this meeting due to unknown track condtions. It has been very wet over most of Victoria with meetings being abandoned or raced on very heavy conditions. As I write this the only rating I can find is soft 5 and most tv hosts have suggested between a soft5/good 4 track which I find strange. Won’t matter with this Tassy raider as he is effective on heavy ten to good 4’s. Never easy to give the whole field 4kgs plus but he won last start with 65kgs so obviously carries it well.
Caulfield r4 Guizot; This looks no harder than his last start win , great record at the track and again most importantly handles all conditions.
Caulfieldr7 Bam’s On Fire; It’s 2yo runs over here in the West were top shelf. First up this time went round at $1.16 in A Benalla maiden and you won’t see an easier win. This is much harder but keeps shortening and expected to get a head start on favourite. No starts on wet, if we get those conditions I would skip race.
Doomben r2 Ef Troop; The jury is out weather it gets a strong 1200m and also if it can reproduce his early 2yo form. I’m giving him a chance to lead these a merry dance under suitable conditions.
Doomben r7 Gem Song; Sailed past them with ease first start in Qld. 3yo taking on pretty handy older horses but should track up from inside gate and finish over the top. Potential top liner going places.
Doomben r8 Osborne Bulls; Fascinating clash between 1 absolute speed freak in Nature Strip who only knows one way and big concerns last 50m vs the bull who’s problem is the opposite in that often gets too far back but then unleashes. Doomben advantage Nature but the Bull is more trustworthy.
