BLUEY’S BEST BETS - 02/01/2021
BLUEY’S BEST
6. COIN COLLECTOR ($3.00)
Interesting prep so far. He resumed first up over an unsuitable distance at Bendigo and was never a chance, which was also the fate of his next run at Kyneton. He then returned from a freshen at Sandown over 1600m and again found them too slick. He then moved up to a far more suitable distance of 2200m at Bendigo and scored an impressive 3.25L victory. He moves to 2380m here which should mean he can hold his form. Looks the one to beat.
9. HOUSAY ($2.70)
Housay will be very tough to beat here on the speed. The lightly raced 4-year-old has been a touch unlucky this prep and could easily have another win under his belt. He was held up at The Valley last start after being slow into stride and was beaten under a length by Bandersnatch. He should be more prominent today and will take some beating.
1. LILLEMOR ($6)
Lillemor resumed last start with an impressive win at this track, leading from a wide barrier and fighting bravely in the straight to hang on from Hibiscus Lady. She draws a much better barrier today and shouldn’t face much pressure other than Goldfinch. The in-form Tom Sherry sticks today and she looks a great chance to be fighting out the finish here again.
BLUEY’S BEST VALUE
2. FINE DANE ($12)
Fine Dane is second up here for John Moloney with talented 3kg claimer Campbell Rawiller taking the ride. He resumed first up over 1000m, leading until the 200m mark, where he was collared but bravely managed to hand on for third. He should take great improvement from that run and looks to get a great run in behind the leading group here. Chance at odds.
