Herald Sun racing writer looks at Monday’s meeting at Echuca to find a winner or three hopefully.
ECHUCA
BEST BET
ARTESE
R10 No. 1 – $7
Arrived in time to win first-up at Geelong and went straight to town, a midweek race at Sandown, but not suited by the fast tempo. Back in winnable company here.
NEXT BEST
BON SHADOW
R7 No. 1 – $4.40
Deep in campaign but raced consistently, with two wins and three places the past seven starts.
VALUE BET
A VOTRE SANTE
R6 No. 11 – $8.50
Wide draw a concern but the lightly-raced mare finished strongly first-up at Werribee to run third.
THE JOCKEY
HARRY COFFEY
ARABIAN MELODY (R1 No. 5 – $2.10), NEGOTIATIONS (R2 No. 3 – $4.40), SECRET AMBITION (R5 No. 8 – $14) and A VOTRE SANTE (R6 No. 11 – $8.50).
