Best Bet Ascot r7 Marocchino ; Here is a horse that has grown 3 legs once Pike has jumped on , nothing new for a lot of horses. Beat most of these with 55kgs over 1800 when given every mortal hope by Pike. Now rises to 57kgs , 2150m , draws awkward and loses Pike. However Chris Parnham is a very suitable replacement and although the two group 1 winners meet him better off , 62kgs on a soft 7 is still a big task.
Best Value Gold Coast r8 Fifty Stars; Pike very rarely comes home empty handed when he travels to carnivals and this looks a plumb ride . Unbeaten on heavy tracks and it’s been a while since he’s seen genuine wet ground. The horse is airborne without getting any luck or races run to suit. Wet 1800m with room to truck into it looks ideal. $8 is a good each way bet.
