Our banker bets are based solely on standout ratings across their last 3 starts.

FLEMINGTON

TOTAL STARTERS: 139

TRACK: Soft 7

WEATHER: 1-3mm of rain forecast but it's due to hit eastern side of city.

TRACKWALKER: Mostly even but lane 1 inferior, lane 2 slightly better but lanes 3+ are better again. As there's advantage being wide are forecasting the best spot to settle is just off the pace blending into the race three, four and five wide into the straight.

BANKER: R8 #14 LA CRIQUE

ROSEHILL

TOTAL STARTERS: 164

TRACK: Good 4

WEATHER: Sunny 26 degrees

TRACKWALKER: Lanes 1-3 inferior. Lanes 4,5 better and lane 6 better again. We are forecasting the best settling position is with cover. As they come into the straight you want to be edging out into clear running and then making your run. The best spot to launch your attack is around lane 6.
