BLUEY’S BEST BETS - 17/03/2020
BLUEY’S BEST
- ZAIN’S GIRL ($2.25)
Has been racing consistently without winning so far, finishing in the placings four times out of five starts. Was good first up at Wyong and now lines up here against a couple of unraced types who are unfancied, and also the well backed Double Ex for Nash Rawiller who looks talented. I think Zain’s Girl has some upside to come and is still the one to beat here.
- SHADOW CRUSH ($3.40)
The Newnham trained Shadow Crush resumes here today and looks the one to beat after an impressive prep during Spring, which included two wins and another two second placings. He’s had a promising trial ahead of this and if he returns with some improvement here, he’ll be extremely hard to beat.
- SHANDY ($3.30)
Comes up here against the talented Mystery Shot, who has now scored six wins from just eight starts, including an impressive three wide victory last start. Despite this, Shandy looks the one to beat for mine if she can resume at a similar level to last prep. She won her first three runs last prep, before jumping to Group 3 level and failing. She pulled up lame in that final start, so we can forgive that run. Very talented.
BLUEY’S BEST VALUE
- JACK THE LAD ($10)
Open race with a number of winning chances. Jack The Lad looks to be a good value bet here after a great run at Canterbury last start. He sat one out one back and hit the line strongly but just found one better in Ruddock. That was his first go beyond 1400m this prep and he can improve on that performance here.
