BLUEY’S BEST BETS – 05/10/2019
RANDWICK – RACE 4 1600m 14:05 AEST
PROBABEEL ($2.25)
Funstar will jump at short odds here but in my opinion Probabeel has more upside here after rattling home to just miss last start in the Tea Stakes. Prior race was beaten narrowly by Libertini and Villami, which looks like some top form at the moment after both have ran well since. Extra 200m looks to suit and should prove hard to beat.
RANDWICK – RACE 6 2000m 15:25 AEST
SAMADOUBT ($4.20)
Samadoubt draws well here and looks to get a soft lead which is critical. Comes up against a much weaker field here – one that doesn’t have the likes of Happy Clapper, Avilius and co. Has been in superb form this prep and has proved that he is up to this level. Should run well here provided he runs a strong 2000m.
FLEMINGTON – RACE 6 1200m 15:45 AEST
SUNLIGHT ($2.80)
Santa Ana Lane is the best horse in this race and has trialled twice leading into this but I’m banking on her not being fully wound up here. Sunlight draws the most appeal after two solid runs, the latest of which she was only narrowly beaten by Nature Strip. Will enjoy the jump to 1200m and looks ready to win.
BLUEY’S BEST VALUE
FLEMINGTON – RACE 4 1400m 14:25 AEST
MY PENDANT ($17)
Fidelia looks very hard to beat here and has been extremely well backed in early markets, however, she now looks under the correct odds in this field which opens up some value for other runners. My Pendant is among those who look value. Racing in top form this prep, including two wins. Measured up last start in the Group 2 Let’s Elope and only Fidelia ran faster final splits than her. Gets back but Flemington should suit her racing pattern.
