NZ$3.25 with 22Bet

Quick Analysis:

It's a decent field for this one at Wagga, and while Blue Monday is the favourite, she still presents some value around the $3.25 mark. She has an impressive career record of 4: 2-1-0 so far, with her only real failure coming last time out in the Group 3 James H B Carr Stakes. She finished strongly in that one, and I think she’ll be hard to beat in this one with natural improvement.

Pakenham - Race 4, 7:45 PM

Top Pick:

Quick Analysis:

Heading over to Pakenham now, and I think Bookman can get the job done in Race 4. He hasn’t graced the winner’s stall in a while, but he has been close and racing well, I think it’s his time. His four runs so far this prep have resulted in a fourth, two thirds and a second placing. There’s money coming in for several different runners, but Bookman’s $3.80 is value in my eyes.

Pakenham - Race 6, 8:45 PM

Top Pick: 

6. Galant Knight

Best Odds Available:

NZ$3.60 with 22Bet

Quick Analysis:

Staying in Pakenham for my final best bet of the day, and Galant Knight is my pick. The gelding broke his maiden on the first time of asking at Werribee, as a $7.50 chance. While virtually every runner in this field is going around in single-digit odds, Galant Knight’s odds have firmed. You can keep an eye on the market if you like, but I reckon his odds are only going to shorten.

Stats and Insights

  • He’s The One went close when resuming at this track and finished strongly. He looks the one to beat in Race 6 at Mackay.
  • Ready And Lucky has been ultra-consistent this prep and comes off another placing. She looks a strong chance at big odds in Race 6 at Muswellbrook.
  • Bullion Hunter went close as a favourite last start and comes from a good stable. He looks a leading chance in Race 8 at Muswellbrook.
