Sandown Best Bets

R1/2 - THESECONDATPORTSEA

  • This is a race where majority of the runners are 1st starters and lacking experience. THESECONDATPORTSEA has had race experience and in some solid level 2yo races. She dropped in grade last start and picked up a maiden win in wet conditions so should handle the going.

R7/11 - FREE FLYING STAR (BEST)

  • FREE FLYING STAR has done her best career work when she finds a heavy track. She is 5:3-0-1 in these conditions. Won her last start in a similar race here at Sandown in similar conditions. She is drawn wide, but that day it paid to be off the rail by this time of the day. If that is the case again here, she only has to run up to the level she did last time and she will be hard to hold out.

R8/7 - EARS THE BARMAN (VALUE OF DAY)

  • EARS THE BARMAN is currently $11/$3.30 which looks like really good EW value for a runner who has a strong record when 1st up into a prep (5:3-0-0) He has also only missed the placings once from 4 starts at this distance and won his only other start on a heavy rated track. Big odds for a horse who looks really well placed.

Gawler Best Bets

R2/2 - LUCKY BELL

  • He has been close to a breakthrough win in his past 3 starts including 2 3rds in a row here at Gawler on wet tracks. This maiden doesn’t look overly strong so he gets his chance today if he can run up to the past few starts. Drawn softer and the booking of a leading g jockey will be a good service.

R6/1 - CHEVITE (BEST)

  • His home track is Gawler and he generally has done his career best work here. His record over the track/distance is 13 5-2-0 and he has won nearly half of his 12 career starts on a soft track. He draws a good barrier, so should find the lead softly and Pannell hops back on, the 2 have had good success together previously.
