BLUEY’S BEST BETS - 12/01/2022
BLUEY’S BEST
- GHUMAAMA ($4.40)
Ghumaama scored a nice win on debut, winning by 1.8L when leading and dictating at Werribee over 1100m. She then jumped straight to BM70 grade and again raced well, finishing just half-a-length away, despite racing wide during. Drops back in grade to BM64 today and jumps to 1200m for the first time. Looks to have a bit of talent and can win again here.
WARWICK FARM RACE 6 – 17:15 AEDT
- NISHIKORI ($5)
Nishikori resumes today after a 131-day spell and could be the one to beat if he returns well. He was just 0.2L away first up last prep at Grafton, running on nicely from the tail. He won the following start at Ballina & that form should hold up here. He performs well with a bit of sting out of the ground, which he’ll get here today. Looking for him to fire first up today.
- SAVANNAH CLOUD ($3.50)
The lightly raced Gentleman Roy comes into this race as the hotpot after two strong wins this prep & with potential improvement to come. Savannah Cloud is a little more exposed on the other hand, but still has strong claims & looks the one to beat for mine. She was resuming from a long spell at Ballarat & finished 7L away, but has since returned to form in her past two. She should be rock hard fit now and is the established runner to beat. The in-form Zac Spain rides & she should be hard to beat.
BLUEY’S BEST VALUE
- SUCCEED INDEED ($13)
Wide open race here, so I’m happy to go with the Corsten trained Succeed Indeed, who looks ready to take the step up to 2000m here third up. She was very one-paced when resuming from a 200-day spell at Sandown, finishing 4.4L away over 1300m. However, she improved greatly second up over 1700m, chasing strongly to finish just 1.3L away. She looks a nice price here today and hopefully can continue improving this prep.
