HOT TIPS: WEEKEND BEST BETS

CAULFIELD

DANNY RUSSELL (Herald Sun). Form: 10528

WHISTLE BABY

Race 4, No. 2

Heavily supported first-up and got there by a nose. Usually improves into prep and Ellerton Zahra stable are airborn.

TAB Fixed Odds: $11

NICK QUINN (TAB). Form: 45541

COOL SNITZEL

Race 6, No. 2

Has resumed form a spell with two ultra impressive wins including a dominant win at Sandown last start. Despite sticky draw is in well at the weights after the claim and pleasantly surprised each-way odds are available.

TAB Fixed Odds: $5.50

DARLY TIMMS (Herald Sun). Form: 4026x

SINO EAGLE

Race 4, No. 5

OK first up and will be suited to the 1400m.

TAB Fixed Odds: $8.50

MICHAEL MANLEY (Herald Sun). Form: 1845x

SINO EAGLE

Race 4, No. 5

Resumed with close-up fourth at Moonee Valley. Goes well second up and although she’s drawn out there should be a lot of speed helping her to slot in. $8.50 looks nice value.

TAB Fixed Odds: $8.50

SIMON MOY (Superracing) Form: 11x26

METAPHORICAL

Race 9, No. 6

Can Peter Moody continue his good midweek form with another winner here? The rise in distance will certainly help and she should be reaching peak fitness third up. Tough, tough race but like her chances.

TAB Fixed Odds: $8

CHRIS VERNUCCIO (Superracing). Form: 20524

TASHBEEH

Race 9, No. 11

Strong win last start, drops down to 54kg and drawn perfectly. No reason to drop off her.

TAB Fixed odds: $4.60

ROYAL RANDWICK

JOHN DAVIS (Daily Telegraph). Form: 90273

DRUM ROLE

Race 9, No. 15

Boasts a fantastic fresh record and hasn’t been asked to do much in two quiet trials. Stable is enjoying a purple patch and no surprise to see him fire at decent each-way odds.

TAB Fixed Odds: $15

MARKETS: TAB FIXED ODDS

GOLD COAST

NATHAN EXELBY (The Courier Mail) Form: 035x3

ELOPING

Race 7, No. 2

Her first start this preparation was outstanding in super fast time and then the wheels fell off in the next couple. Though down the track, she wasn’t disgraced last time and this looks easier. She’s right up to a race like this if she turns up and the $15 looks a worthy gamble.

TAB Fixed Odds: $12

MARKET: TAB FIXED ODDS

MORPHETTVILLE

LINCOLN MOORE (The Advertiser). Form: 62182

ALCOBRO

Race 7, No. 7

Good effort when resuming when he worked to the line behind Ship’s Captain.

Is a winner second-up, this looks a nice race for him and he should take some beating.

he was placed in the Nitschke Stakes back in April.

TAB Fixed Odds: $5
