Here is the predicted track pattern and Best Bet for Saturday’s meeting at The Valley.
TRACK
Good
TRACKWALKER INFO
Lanes 1,2 fine but slightly better in Lanes 3,4,5. We’d suggest looking for horses that stalk the speed blending in from the 400m.
WINDS could hit 45km/hr from the north. Its into their faces down the back, across them from their right down the side and tailwind in straight.
Horses that can get cover to their outside will have an advantage if wind eventuates
TRAINER JOCKEY COMBOS
The combination of Blake Shinn & Gai Waterhouse/Adrian Bott is currently exceeding market expectation by 32%
BARRIERS
All barrier start points favour inside gates. The 1000m start can be tricky for horses with no gate speed as the get buried away
NIC ASHMAN TIP
Race 7 No.2 ALLIGATOR BLOOD $2.90
“What more can he do to prove that he’s the standout chance here? He’s finished first or second in 4 of his 5 runs at the mile, is 12 from 20 on good tracks, beat his main rivals last start conceding race fitness and is the map horses here"
