Saddlery Warehouse Handicap (1300m)

Selections:

Confectionist – 2.50

Perfect Dividends – 3.60

Esperanza – 6.50

BEST BET – Confectionist

In race 2 Confectionist should be a popular play. A winner of two of her last three, those two wins have come at the track and conditions should be right up her street once more. She faces some stiff competition here, but she is the form horse of the race and should go well once again.

THE DANGER – Perfect Dividends

Perfect Dividends could be the main danger. Boasting a 25% win rate from 25 starts, three wins have come here, and she just missed out last time. She was the heavy favourite that day and failed to deliver. Connections will be hoping the bounce back happens here.

VALUE BET – Esperanza

Esperanza is the value play here. A winner of just one of her ten starts, she has placed at a higher level than this in the past and resumes after a 22 week break. This represents a small step down in class and if she is raring to go, she could well play a part.

Racing @ Te Rapa 13 September Handicap (2100m)

Selections:

Pink Gin – 2.60

Paravane – 3.60

Feel The Stag – 8.00

BEST BET – Paravane

We feel that Paravane could pull off a minor upset in the fourth race of the day. Having made just six starts she is still unexposed compared to most of the competitors in this field. She represents top class connections, and we feel could have the class overcome a six-month absence.

THE DANGER – Pink Gin

Pink Gin is the undoubted danger. She has been racing and should be tuned up in comparison to Paravane. From six runs at the track, she has three wins and two placed efforts. That is formidable form, and she could well win here.

VALUE BET – Feel The Stag

Feel The Stag could be a danger. He returned from a long layoff and was a bit of a no-show last time out at Te Repa. However, he has only raced six times – he has won and placed on two occasions. He should be fitter here and could outrun his price.

Cambridge Equine Hospital Maiden (1300m)

Selections:

In The Vineyard – 3.60

Off The Scales – 3.90

Indian Falls – 12.00

BEST BET – In The Vineyard

Punters will be hoping to get off to a hot start and it wouldn’t be a surprise if many choose to back In The Vineyard in race 1. Yet to win after ten starts, she has finished second four times and third three times. This won’t take a tonne of winning and she sets the standard.

THE DANGER – Off The Scales

Off The Scales has just made the one start and ran a good race on debut to finish third. That start was made here, and he has been able to rest for the last few weeks. He should know more this time around and could make a huge leap from that debut run. There is plenty to like.

VALUE BET – Indian Falls

Indian Falls is our value play of the day and we think she can win here. She has made eight starts and despite not winning, she has placed in two of her last three races. The penny seems to have dropped of late and we are expecting another big showing here.
