Racing Betting Guide Wednesday, 8 May
CANTERBURY - RACE 2 1200m 13:30 AEST
DISRUPTOR ($3.50)
Disruptor looks a good chance to break his maiden here coming off a solid second behind the talented Reloaded, who now sits firmly as favourite for the JJ Atkins. Disruptor was only a length from him there and endured a wide run without cover, yet he still finished the race off strongly. Up against a similar field and should take improvement second up.
Scratched
CANTERBURY – RACE 5 1900m 13:20 AEST
WOLFE ($2.70)
Was well backed first up, coming off two impressive victories last prep and was touted to go on to bigger and better things. He had 3 trials leading into that race against some really strong horses; Kementari, Happy Clapper & Grey Lion just to name a few, yet seemed to race a little flat. I’m willing to give him another go as he looks like a promising type who could easily beat this field. Should be able to lead and control the race.
SANDOWN - RACE 6 1800m 13:56 AEST
VOW AND DECLARE ($2.60)
Draws to get a lovely run just in behind the leaders, who may just overdo it a little out in front. Was brilliant first up behind Orcein when storming home to just miss, finishing a narrow third. That was an eye-catching run and should strip fitter here second up. Has continued where he left off last prep and looks very hard to beat here.
BLUEY’S BEST VALUE
SANDOWN - RACE 5 1500m 14:50 AEST
ALMALITA ($11.00)
Should be able to get an easy lead here and control the race from out in front, which is likely to be crucial at Sandown which has been a leaders paradise of late, even more so here with the rail out 8m. Has 62kg, but apprentice Ethan Brown claims 1.5kg back which is a plus. Although she has never won first up, she has placed three out of four times and looks a great each way chance here.
