BLUEY’S BEST BETS - 18/07/2020
BLUEY’S BEST
- TAILLEUR ($1.95)
Will no doubt be well found today, but I find it impossible to go past Tailleur here after a huge first-up return at Royal Randwick. She had enormous sectionals there on the Heavy track. She narrowly beat Switched, but there was a huge 5L gap back to 3rd. looks on the up and will appreciate the jump to 1200m.
- KAONIC ($3.70)
Has been racing solidly recently, but a win or placing has escaped him so far this prep. Two starts back raced at Group 3 level over 1600m and got well back, but still managed to pick up ground in the straight before peaking on his run. Last start, he got well back also, and again put in very strong sectionals. He’s rock hard fit now and might be ready to win.
- FRANKELY AWESOME ($5.00)
Did enough first up behind Attention Run and Soldier of Love over 1800m before jumping to 2000m and beating an impressive field, which included Carzoff and Sixties Groove. Those two went on to run first and third in the Grafton Cup. Drops back to 1800m here but I don’t think that hurts him too much. Pace up front should suit and he’ll be fitter third up.
BLUEY’S BEST VALUE
FLEMINGTON RACE 2 – 12:30 AEST
- LUCIFER’S REWARD ($21)
Put in a brilliant run last start at Caulfield, sitting towards the back and flying down the outside to score a strong 1.25L victory. He faces many of the same competitors here and will again likely see a fast tempo. He draws an inside barrier here which is generally not an advantage in straight races, but it will be early in the day which should negate that to an extent. Looks a great value bet.
