BLUEY’S BEST BETS - 31/07/2020
BLUEY’S BEST
- LE CHEVALEE ($2.65)
La Chevalee looks the one to beat here after her impressive victory last start. That was her first time stepping out to 1800m and she handled it beautifully, taking the lead at the 300m mark and scoring by 2 lengths. She sticks at 1800m here and despite coming up against a slightly better field, she should prove too strong again.
MOONEE VALLEY RACE 3 – 13:55 AEST
- NO EFFORT ($3.50)
No Effort has been very good in this prep, scoring two wins and a narrow second from five runs. She was particularly impressive stepping out to 2000m at Caulfield last start, winning by a whopping 3L over Pancho. She’s been given a freshen leading into this race, but she should still have enough residual fitness to turn in another strong performance here.
MOONEE VALLEY RACE 8 – 17:05 AEST
- NAMAKWA ($5.50)
Namakwa has had a consistent prep so far and like the aforementioned No Effort, he is also coming off a freshen. His last start was in mid-June, where he turned in decent performance; however, it was nowhere near the level in the start prior, where he scored a dominant 2 length victory when the blinkers were applied for the first time. I’m hoping the freshen up with reinvigorate Namakwa and if he can return to somewhere near his two back level, he’ll be very hard to beat here.
BLUEY’S BEST VALUE
- LORD ZOULANDER ($9)
Lord Zoulander exploded last start, scoring an impressive 1.8 length victory at Randwick on a Heavy track. He had the box seat there, loomed up in the straight and proved far too good. He draws slightly wider today, but should be able to cross and enjoy a decent run in transit again. A repeat performance from last start would see him go close here.
