Racing Betting Guide Wednesday, 1 May
WARRNAMBOOL - RACE 5 1400m 13:30 AEST
THE CLOSER ($2.15)
Expecting The Closer to kick us off with a win here. She wasn’t great last start at Group 3 level, easing out of the race to finish 7L off Princess Jenni, but prior to that she had raced well against some very smart types. Drops back in class sharply here and back to 1400m should be more suitable. She is also back to a Soft track where she has two starts for two wins.
WARWICK FARM - RACE 3 1100m 13:55 AEST
EMBRACER ($3.10)
Yet to step foot onto the track on raceday but confident Embracer will start off his career in winning fashion. He has trialled superbly leading into this, winning his first by 6 lengths and then his last by just under a length. He was well held in that last trial and should be ready to go first up off the back of that. Well backed in early markets and confident will get the job done.
WARWICK FARM – RACE 4 1300m 14:35 AEST
REELEM IN RUBY ($2.00)
Liked the win of Zouologist last start, but he has run into a good one here in Reelem In Ruby who has bested him previously and looks perfectly suited here. Looks to have come on from last prep, narrowly going down to Echo Jet first up in a run where she had it all to do, rounding the turn last and as the widest runner. This race is easier and she will improve on that run. Very tough to beat.
BLUEY’S BEST VALUE
WARRNAMBOOL - RACE 4 3450m 12:55 AEST
BLUES BREAKER ($18.00)
I think there’s something here at odds for Blues Breaker. On first glance his form looks awful, but if we only take into account his jumps form, he is 6: 1-2-1. Coming off a nice steeple trial win against Ascot Red (2nd fav here) and although we can’t put too much merit into a trial, he has certainly shown a liking to the jumps. Last start led them along at Terang and simply went too quick out in front. He can improve here and run a good race at odds.
