Quick Analysis:

I typically try to steer clear of tipping maidens, but Low Key has really caught my eye. The filly finished sixth in the Group 3 Kindergarten Stakes as her first career run. We didn’t see her pop up again until August, with back-to-back trials that have instilled confidence in punters. She’s the heavy favourite, and while there’s not a lot of value, she’ll be very hard to run down from barrier two.

Sandown Hillside - Race 7, 5:30 PM

Top Pick:

Quick Analysis:

With four scratchings already (at the time of writing), this is shaping up to be a pretty small field for the Group 3 Chautauqua Stakes. I do have my eye on Persian Spirit, who looks set to jump as the narrow favourite. It looks like trainer Symon Wilde has bigger things on the geldings' horizon, with the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes fast approaching. Harry Coffey remains in the saddle, and they get in reasonably light at the weights.

Murray Bridge - Race 6, 6:20 PM

Top Pick: 

3.  Aloha Blue

Quick Analysis:

Wrapping things up at Murray Bridge today with Aloha Blue. It’s a decently sized field, and the mare presents some good enough value. After three consecutive top-three finishes, Aloha Blue finally broke through for her fourth career win at Strathalbyn last time out. Sophie Potter takes over in the saddle, bringing a 2kg weight relief with her, and they jump from barrier four.

Stats and Insights

  • Barrelling placed first-up at Beaudesert and is already a winner when second-up in his short career. He can improve with that run behind him in Race 5 at Ipswich.
  • Cassandra finished strongly to win on debut at Pinjarra and comes from a respected stable. She can build on that impressive debut in Race 6 at Belmont.
  • Radiant Light led throughout to win at Belmont last start and has two victories this campaign. He can carry that winning form into Race 8 at Belmont.
