Canterbury Park and Caulfield Heath are the places to be this Wednesday, with competitive fields and strong prize money on offer.
Canterbury Park Race 5
#5 Viewpoint
Viewpoint finds a winnable assignment on Wednesday. The Wootton Bassett gelding should be rock-hard fit after a solid campaign, and he meets easier opposition. The 1550m suits, and he looks the likely leader on paper. He will look the victor as they run for the doctor.
Dubai Warrior resumes after a long break. The Pride Of Dubai gelding has been trialling extremely well leading into his first-up run, and his opening quote has been more than nibbled at. Barrier one is advantageous, and he looks well placed in this company. I would prefer to support his case further and deeper into his campaign.
Emballee was ok without winning fresh. The Pierro mare had genuine excuses, and I suspect it may pay dividends to forgive and forget that she went around. She strips fitter as a result, and her second-up record must be respected. Her racing pattern and style will always require an element of good fortune.
Suggested Bet: Viewpoint @ $7.00
Canterbury Park RACE 6
#4 eLLE hUDSON
Elle Hudson represents great value each way. The Tarzino gelding caught the eyes of punters late second-up, and the current track conditions suit the big boy to a tee. The step out in trip is advantage, and I suspect he has been trained to the minute for his third-up assignment. Watch for him late!
Format is a model of consistency. The Frankel gelding has been racing well in better grade races, and I suspect he will appreciate meeting easier opposition. His exposed form is more than handy, and his opening quote has received strong support. Any give in the track suits, and he is ideally drawn in a middle gate. His recent winning record is the primary concern.
Le Troisir was a brilliant last-start winner at Warwick Farm. The Proisir gelding showed a significant turn of foot, and his best performance here could prove fences and panels better than his rivals. The drop in trip suits, and the Chris Waller polish, must be respected. Acid test!
Suggested Bet: Elle Hudson @ $7.00
Caulfield hEATH Race 6
#8 Tennessee Bound
Tennessee Bound looks one of the better bets on a tricky and competitive card of racing. The Written Tycoon mare turned heads during the spring, and the lightly raced four-year-old oozes class. The 3kg apprentice could prove a training masterstroke, and I suspect she has more upside than the majority of her rivals. It will pay to follow her moving forward!
Killiana is over the odds. The Brazen Beau filly is racing better than it suggests in the bible, and she is ready to explode third-up from a spell on Wednesday. The 1000m is advantageous, and her best performance is more than good enough for this grade. The double-figure quote looks generous, and she is too honest to pot. She tends to find one or two better at the pointy end of a contest.
After The River is a seasoned campaigner. The Written Tycoon gelding is carrying the grandstand; however, he is easily the class runner of the field. His record at the trip is outrageous, and he meets a similar field to his last-start heroics. The carpark draw is his biggest obstacle.
Suggested Bet: Tennessee Bound @ $1.75
Caulfield heath Race 7
#2 Rich Dottie
Rich Dottie will have plenty of supporters have producing an eye-catching performance fresh at the track and distance. The Written Tycoon mare strips fitter as a result of recent racing, and her second-up form must be respected. The inside draw is advantageous, and there has been a flood of money for the talented four-year-old in early betting. Ready to win!
Cavalry Girl was good without winning first-up from a spell. The Bivouac filly has a future, and she finds a suitable second-up assignment. She finds her pet distance on Wednesday, and I suspect her to jump the race favourite. The yard is flying at present, and the Craig Williams factor must be respected. Hard to toss
Saluted looks well placed in this company. The I Am Immortal filly was an impressive first-up winner, and I suspect she can continue on her upward trajectory here with even luck in transit. She has been well supported in most all-in markets, and the current track conditions may give her the upper hand. She will look the winner as heads turn for home!
Suggested Bet: Rich Dottie @ $5.00
