Best Value ; Ascot r5 Paddy O’furniture ; 8yo who broke through at start 9 last start so obviously has soundness issues. That was 2nd up jumping from 1000m to 1400m so should appreciate the extra 200m at first attempt with added fitness. Drawn 1 in a wide open race it’s obviously no good thing , just trying to squeeze some value out of the overs gods , usually a very difficult task!
Ascot r7 Tonkatuff; Another 8yo who is still showing a zest for racing. Last 3 runs have all been full of merit and has the draw today to settle a touch closer. Each way .
Best Multi;
Ascot r1 Outback Jack (win); $1.50 in a field of 5 including 3 maidens actually looks generous if your a thrill seeker.
Geelong r7 Steel Prince (place) ; Went to bed last night thinking $2.15 the place will be my best bet of the day. Woke up to $1.50 damn it. On current form I’m supremely confident it can beat all the Australian horses home. Too many unknowns with the internationals, four of them all looking for a Melbourne Cup start. Skyward has recent Anthony Van Dyke form over this distance, hence the place is a safer option.
$2.25 for the double seems pretty reasonable , $4.50 if you want to add Tonkatuff @ $2 place.
