Here is the predicted track pattern and Best Bet for Monday's meeting at Armidale.
TRACK
Soft 5
TRACKWALKER
Lane 1 some penalty but it’s fine from Lane 2 onwards. Lanes 2-6 are probably where you want to make your run as there’s no need to go wider other than for a clear crack at them. We’d suggest looking for on pace horses/stalking the speed and blending in just off the fence
ARMIDALE SPECIALIST
Trainer Stirling Osland has a career strike rate of 12% with an ROI of -2%, which isn’t bad given his stats cover more than 1200m races. But over the last 12 months when he’s taken horses to Armidale they’ve been winning at 38% and if you’d back every one of them you’d be in front around +70% on your investment
BARRIERS
1100m or less – Chute start with short run to the sweeping final bend
NIC ASHMAN TIP @2.10pm
RACE 1 NO.7 BENBULBEN
“The most inexperienced horse in the field with just two starts that have come either side of a break. His 1UP run this campaign was solid enough for this grade of race and his late splits were strong suggesting he’ll handle the rise in trip”
