Quick Analysis:

Now Is The Hour looks pretty difficult to beat, and the odds certainly reflect that, currently going around at $1.85. The 5YO is looking for back-to-back wins here at Doomben after winning by 2.31L last time out. While he has never won second-up before, he has finished second and third in just three attempts. He’ll be difficult to hold out from barrier one with just 54kg on his back.

Sandown Hillside - Race 8, 6:25 PM

Top Pick: 

5. Beiwacht

Best Odds Available:

NZ$3.05 with Betya

Quick Analysis:

With the scratching of Angel Capital, my money’s on Beiwacht for the Group 1 CF Orr Stakes. There are just six runners left in the field now, and Beiwacht is the narrow favourite. The stallion has back-to-back third placings, including last time out in the Group 1 Golden Eagle. Expect Beiwacht to settle in the lead, and he could prove too difficult to chase down against this field.

Ascot - Race 7, 8:45 PM

Top Pick: 

10. Bassett Hound

Quick Analysis:

Wrapping the day up at Ascot, I’m very confident with Bassett Hound in the Group 3 Colonel Reeves Stakes. The 4YO has back-to-back victories here at Ascot, and the extra 100m he steps up to for this one shouldn’t be of any concern. Jockey Patrick Carbery and Bassett Hound have an excellent relationship, and they get the gun draw as well. They’ll be flying with just 55kg on his back.

Stats and Insights

  • Somewhere Soon has recorded a win at Morphettville Parks and two metropolitan placings this prep. She can build on that solid form and get the win in Race 7 at Morphettville Parks.
  • Natural Fling has recorded a metropolitan victory at Caulfield and two placings this prep. She’s proven just how consistent she can be, so watch for her in Race 7 at Sandown Hillside.
  • Fawkner Park backs up after just seven days following a seventh-place finish at Eagle Farm. He is capable of bouncing back at double-digit odds in Race 9 at Newcastle.
