HOT TIPS: WEEKEND BEST BETS

LISTEN TO OUR COOLMORE STAKES DAY PREVIEW

ROSEHILL

RAY THOMAS (Daily Telegraph). Form: 0098

TAKEWING

Race 9, No. 16

Stormed home to win at Kembla Grange first-up then produced another super effort to just miss running down Handfast at Warwick Farm. His two runs back have been outstanding and he is in a race to suit here.

TAB Fixed Odds: $12

JOHN DAVIS (Daily Telegraph). Form: 00821

VERGARA

Race 7, No. 11

Was close-up for most of the trip when finishing on Solicit’s heels in the Guy Walter Stakes last time out. Got caught in the “slow lane” at Randwick, other than that, there was plenty to enthuse about her prospects going forward.

TAB Fixed Odds: $26

SHAYNE O’CASS (Sportsman). Form: 51200

TATOOSH

Race 6, No. 2

Proved himself to be one of the toughest and most genuine little horses in training last prep, notching placings in the Spring Stakes and the Gloaming. I must say, having backed him, I expected a little bit more from him first-up in the Qualifier at Wyong but we can forgive and forget. He’ll be happier over this trip and on a spacious track.

TAB Fixed Odds: $26

DARREN PRENDERGAST (Superracing). Form: 00423

ROCK STURDY

Race 8, No. 6

Charged home late to grab second after having traffic problems down the straight at Randwick last start. Has a good record at Rosehill and is yet to taste defeat in two runs at 1500m.

TAB Fixed Odds: $6.50

NICK QUINN (TAB). Form: 80983

AZKADELLIA

Race 7, No. 7

Classy mare who won stylishly at Caulfield last start and at each-way odds looks a bet to nothing.

TAB Fixed Odds: $5.50

MARKETS: TAB FIXED ODDS

FLEMINGTON

MATT STEWART (Herald Sun). Form: 10153

BADAWIYA

Race 5 No. 3

Mixed it with the best last prep and this trip looks perfect kick off for her.

TAB Fixed Odds: $6.50

MICHAEL MANLEY (Herald Sun). Form: 24901

DETECTIVE

Race 2, No. 3

$6 is appealing each-way value for a horse which stretched one of the favourites for the Golden Slipper Stakes in last Saturday’s impressive winner in Kiss And Make up at his last start when second to him.

TAB Fixed Odds: $6

Rising Romance (right) and Fawkner fight out the Makybe Diva Stakes last year. Picture: Tony Gough.

SIMON MOY (Superracing). Form: x15x7

THE QUARTERBACK

Race 8, No. 8

Motored late last start over 1100m for sixth in Oakleigh Plate (1100m). Likes the Flemington straight and extra distance sure to help. Has huge weight advantage over Chautauqua and will be finishing as fast. Must be an outside chance at great odds.

TAB Fixed Odds: $21

DANNY RUSSELL (Herald Sun) Form: 1642x

RISING ROMANCE

Race 7, No. 9

Loves the 2000m at Flemington and gets the gun run in a race lacking obvious pace.

TAB Fixed Odds: $8.50

CHRIS VERNUCCIO (Superracing). Form: x2117

OUR IVANHOWE

Race 7, No.5

Held up for a long in the straight in the Peter Young Stakes and looks the obvious danger to Box Creek. The bigger Flemington will suit and a soft track will be a bonus.

TAB fixed odds: $5.50

MARKETS: TAB FIXED ODDS

GOLD COAST

Le Val (red cap) overhauls Vienna Royale late to win at Doomben in August last year. Picture: Grant Peters, Trackside Photography

NATHAN EXELBY (The Courier-Mail). Form: 18011

LE VAL

Race 7, No. 9

Noel Doyle has a ripper record in feature races on his home track and Le Val looks well placed. Yes, has ugly draw to overcome, but he gets back and runs on. Very good effort behind Bachman here and then wasn’t disgraced in the MM Cup behind Lucky Hussler. Fresh record is good and no dramas with a little sting out of the ground.

TAB Fixed Odds: $15

BEN DORRIES (The Courier-Mail). Form: 26014

SOLDIER OF WAR

Race 4, No. 10

Might have only won a weak Sunshine Coast maiden last time, but was an outstanding win as he rounded them up from last and smashed them by more than four lengths. A really progressive type who can step up in this class and win again.

TAB Fixed Odds: $6

BRAD DAVIDSON (Gold Coast Bulletin). Form: 78601

BEAU JET

Race 6, No. 6

He has had genuine excuses (slow tempo and three deep) at both runs this campaign and he will relish getting away from Doomben. He should be able to settle closer from the good draw and the drop in class looks ideal. The $13 looks a great each-way bet providing we don’t get any more rain.

TAB Fixed Odds: $13

MORPHETTVILLE

Rocket Commander should be near peak fitness for this weekend’s assignment. Picture: Tricia Watkinson

BEN SCADDEN (The Advertiser). Form: 68243

ROCKET COMMANDER

Race 7, No. 6

Smart mare who should be nearing her best after two runs from a spell. Wasn’t far off them when fifth against similar opposition under these conditions last time and gets significant weight relief this time. Should be there when it counts.

TAB Fixed Odds: $13

LINCOLN MOORE (The Advertiser). Form: 666x1

SOHOOL

Race 6, No. 5

Showed ability early on winning at Pakenham on debut and chased home a Guineas runner last time out before going for a break. Looks well graded here and should go close.
