Value Bet of the Day Race 5 11. Sharada $16 FF
Multi of the Day Race 1 8.War Of Succession $2.00 FF with Race 4 2.Mad Max $2.30 FF $10 returns $46
Race 1
Confidence:3/5 1st $1.50
8.War Of Succession was a $500k purchase so is well bred to win a few races. he comes out of strong form races and Opie rides from a good draw, so against a weak lot, should get every chance and get the day off to a good start. RP $1.80, $2.00 FF
Race 2
Confidence:2/5 1st $4.60
12.Rue de Rivoli went very well for second and could have won if pushed. Likely to get back and rely on Opie and luck to win and so this $340k purchase looks an eachway bet. RP $4.00, $4.20 FF
Race 4
Confidence:3/5
2.Mad Max was a $575k purchase and has been set win fresh up after trying his hand in Ozzie. Has won three trials and likely to take a sit with Opie on and the way he has finished off his trials, it will take a good one to beat him. RP $1.80, $2.40 FF
Race 5
Confidence:2/5
11.Sharada rates on top here with the 3kg allowance based on her game 4th over this distance at Trentham. She also ran a strong second on pace over 1550m and was run down. Maps to get an ideal run and is a good eachway bet. RP $8, $16 FF
Race 6
Confidence:2/5
7.Notabadspillane is very well bred being a half sister to Pennyweka ( 2023 Oaks winner ) and looked ready to go at the trials. Michael McNab rides from an ideal draw. RP $3, $3 FF
