Don't miss out on the headlines from SuperRacing. Followed categories will be added to My News.
Not much racing action on Monday and with no racing in Victoria until next weekend our attention turns north of the border to one of the two meetings in NSW.
SCONE
BEST BET
SPRITZA SERITZA
R5 No. 11 - $17
Broke through last start after going seven races without a win. The three-year-old Deep Field filly can go on with the job.
NEXT BEST
POSEIDON RULER
R2 No. 1 - $2.40
Six-start maiden but placed on five occasions. Proven on wet ground and extra distance third-up looks ideal.
THE REGULAR SHOW
R4 No. 5 $5
Bursting to win a race having placed past three starts. Wide draw a concern but frontrunning style should suit as long as the No Nay Never gelding is able to cross without using too many petrol tickets.
VALUE BET
PIG IN MUD
R6 No. 3 - $14
Victorian visitor showed ability last preparation but failed to fire a shot this time around. Change of scenery could be the difference?
THE JOCKEY
REECE JONES
Promising NSW apprentice has been in great form of late and boasts another strong book of rides.
PROMESA (R1 No. 3 - $4.60), DAWN STRIKE (R2 No. 6 - $23), INZAGHI (R3 No. 11 - $101), GOLD LUNAR (R4 No. 8 - $7.50), EMPOWERMENT (R5 No. 5 $4.40), SPLIT (R6 No. 10 - $13), TIMION (R7 No. 9 $41)
