BLUEY’S BEST BETS – 22/2/2020
ROSEHILL – RACE 7 1400m 16:30 AEDT
MICROPHONE ($3.40)
Looks close to the bet of the day for mine. Was held up for a long time first up and couldn’t get a shot at them before going to Caulfield and scoring a narrow win over 1400m. Drops 3kg from that run and catches most of these runners resuming, whereas he is ready to peak third up. Should be very hard to beat.
ROSEHILL – RACE 8 1400m 17:10 AEDT
CRADLE MOUNTAIN ($3.20)
Cradle Mountain draws barrier 6 here and should be able to control the race from there. Wolfe may sit outside of him but Cradle Mountain has shown he can absorb pressure in the past. Should be able to lead at an even tempo which I think is the key for him. Was brilliant last start scoring by a length over Cellarman and can score back-to-back wins here.
CAULFIELD – RACE 9 1800m 17:30 AEDT
KINGS WILL DREAM ($2.70)
Kings Will Dream resumed last start at Caulfield over 1400m and put in a quality performance, finishing half-a-length from eventual winner Alabama Express. He brings serious Group form into this race, having won the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes over 2000m last prep. Will appreciate the jump to 1800m this start and should be very hard to beat.
BLUEY’S BEST VALUE
CAULFIELD – RACE 1 2000m 12:35 AEDT
FUTURE SCORE ($9.00)
Future Score has been racing in top form this prep and probably raced a bit flat last time out after two strong, grinding runs prior. Has had a freshen since that last run and sticks at 2000m, which should suit. Favourite here Just Benjamin looks to have a lot of upside but is still relatively unproven in Australia. Future Score should be suited by the tempo up front and can finish over the top.
*Odds correct at time of writing
