Don't miss out on the headlines from SuperRacing. Followed categories will be added to My News.
A step up in grade shouldn’t stop our best bet at Echuca on Monday while a strong book of rides makes Lachlan King the jockey to follow.
BEST BET
BARON OF BEDFORD
R5 No. 4 $3.90
Bolted in last start at Kilmore, finishing over the top of rivals. Up in grade but racing consistently and can win again.
NEXT BEST
FAR TOO TEMPTING
R2 No. 7 $2.50
Six-start maiden but has run third three times including last start at Geelong. Hard fit and drawn ideally.
THE AMAZONIAN
R3 No. 10 $2.70
Good third last start at Cranbourne behind a nice Waterhouse-Bott filly. Will appreciate stretching out to the 1600m.
VALUE BET
WASABI
R7 No. 10 $14
A win and five placings from past eight starts. Speedy evergreen mare that‘s drawn to jump and run and be hard to run down.
ROYAL TYKE
R8 No. 6 $26
Doesn‘t win out of turn but has performed second-up previously. Like the booking of Harry Coffey.
