Today’s Tips: Saturday 22nd October 2022
24 from the book…
A strange day’s racing, with the Valley night meeting curtailed due to lightning strikes. Nevertheless, we had a nice winner in Vultan (5 units ew) paying $5.90 and $2.10.
Big day’s racing back at the Valley today, with the Cox Plate plus the Manikato, transferred to today…
After his superb win in the Might and Power, Anamoe looks awfully hard to beat as he goes for a four-timer…
Two dozen on offer from the book today, let’s get some funds via The Best and The Rest…
THE BEST…
KARMAN LINE
Waikato RC, 9
Superb finish to win on debut last November, and resumes today after 9 months away. Back in grade somewhat, and is capable of taking this out as $2.80 fav.

SCISSOR STEP
Moonee Valley Racing Club, 2
Has been competitive early in his preps, and can place here today around $5.50
BET: 3 units ew
BOLDINHO
Moonee Valley Racing Club, 3
He’s come back in good order, with two wins and a second from three runs since August. Up in grade and distance, this is his biggest test to date. E Brown sticks, and he’s a solid ew bet here at $8.50
BET: 3 units ew
VISINARI & BANKERS CHOICE

Both around the $5.50 in a very good betting race with many chances.

FRANCESCO GUARDI & DESERT ICON
Moonee Valley Racing Club, 8
FG bolted home from the back to just miss for us last time out at SP $19, and though up in grade, gets the JMac polish here, and will probably run fav here at around $4. Stablemate DI is in great form,$7.50 on offer, and can back both these ew.
BET: 4 units ew both, exotics
ANAMOE & I’M THUNDERSTRUCK
Moonee Valley Racing Club, 9
Anamoe wins I think, heard the trainer say he was still one run away from peak after his last win, and it’s hard to ignore that. I’m Thunderstruck got close last time, and should be included in your multis.
BET: Anamoe 10 unit win, IT 5 units ew, exotics
SAVONIA
Moonee Valley Racing Club, 10
Two good wins followed by a close fourth at Sandown. Up in grade here and back up to the mile, which will suit. $19 looks generous…
BET: 3 units ew
JALMARI
Randwick, 2
Running out of chances now, needs to get some runs on the board, fav here again. Finished well from the back last time out, the extra 200m should suit…
BET: 5 units ew
WILLINGA RUFIO
Randwick, 4
Super-impressive romping home five weeks ago at Warwick Farm, then failed to see out the 1800m next time out. On-pacer who’s back to the mile today, $5 on offer.
BET: 5 units ew
FLAG OF HONOUR
Randwick, 7
They’ll all need to go some to knock this fav off, but this lad will be in the mix at the end, watch for him late. $7.50 on offer.
BET: 5 units ew
SHE’S EXTREME
Randwick, 8
Solid record but she saves her best for heavy tracks but also this track. Up in grade and distance, and a good ew shot at $4.60.
BET: 5 units ew

Love his consistency, and he’s always a chance. Tuned up with a trial after a couple of months in the paddock, and the $12 makes him very backable ew.
BET: 4 units ew
ENTERPRISE POMME
Doomben, 4
Though untried on heavy, her other stats make good reading, and she rates a chance after 5 months off at $3.
