Today’s Tips: Saturday 5th November 2022
Winner and two placings…
An impressive win by our best bet Proost (10 unit win, $2), Looker had her sitting handy in midfield until the last turn, and with the slightest of encouragement, she changed up a gear and ran away from them. A good mare on the up, and one to watch…
Places for Markwell Dreamer ($1.90) and Ghost Doctor (4 units ew, $2.10), with only Miss Mecca denying us the place multi…
Last day of the Flemington carnival on Guy Fawkes, sure we can find a couple of crackers for you from the 20 tips on offer today…
Write-ups on all 20 tips…
GOSPODIN, TIGHTLIGN, OSELETA
Te Rapa, 6
Gospodin resumed after a three month break in the G3 Sweynesse at Rotorvegas last month and ran second for us at SP $13. Ran up six in a row early in his career before trying his luck in Aussie. Drops in grade for this, and his fav jockey sticks. Great EW bet as $6 fav in a very open betting race. The other two have been plain in recent runs, but could add some spice to the exotics.
BET: Gospodin 5 units ew, exotics
AMBERECHO
Riccarton, 4
Needed the run resuming, and second up stats good for this, as are T&D and going. The sleeper in this at $12. On-pacer who will give ‘em something to catch down to 1100m.
BET: 5 units ew
ASATHOUGHT
Riccarton, 7
Been a bit plain this prep, doesn’t win out of turn and really needs it wetter, interest only at $18…
BET: 2 units ew
SACRED GIANT
Riccarton, 8
Drops in grade for this, ran a couple of seconds this prep but last two were plain. $10 shot today.
BET: 2 units ew
BURITZ
Riccarton, 10
She’s angling towards her second win after two close placing this prep, and she’s a real EW chance at $9.
BET: 4 units ew
MASKED CRUSADER
Flemington, 6
Only an outsider’s chance in this, especially in this field.
BET: 2 units ew, exotics
AEGON
Flemington, 7
Former Kiwi who got up for us at $7 on his return to Aussie racing last month, up in grade for this but does get Ms Kah, which does give him some chance at $31, but likely to find these too hot…
BET: 2 units ew
ANAMOE, I’M THUNDERSTRUCK, BANKERS CHOICE
Flemington, 8
Honestly can’t see Anamoe beaten here as $2 fav, in fabulous form, beating I’m Thunderstruck in both runs. First time at Headquarters, but has the JMac polish and just wins, with IT in for the quinella.
BET: Anamoe 10 unit win, 10 unit quinella/exacta with IT.
TURBEAU
Flemington, 9
He won two in a row this time last year, and returns from the paddock today after 3 months off. Good place form first up, likes the distance, and has raced well in higher grades than this. EW shot if he’s ready at $41
BET: 3 units ew
COOL LAD
Rosehill, 1
Steps up in grade for this, been a while since he won, not sure he’s up to this at $8, even with Pikey onboard.
BET: 2 units ew
WILLINGA RUFIO
Rosehill, 4
Impressive when winning in September, then ran fourth last time out, finishing behind Naval Seal. Can reverse that form today at $3.20.
BET: 5 unit win
SHE’S THE GIFT
Rosehill, 7
Finished last spell with a win and a third, tuned up for this with a couple of trials. Up in grade for this, OK at distance and footing, but only a rough chance at $41.
BET: 2 units ew
COCO ROX
Rosehill, 9
Love this honest mare. Good second up stats, as well as distance and footing, she’s better from the front, so hope she’s ridden along today. $3.10 on offer.
BET: 8 unit win
CARRIBEAN KING
Doomben, 2
Drops in grade, but needs to get back on form in this today at $8.50. Orman sticks and has form on him.
BET: 3 units ew
GEM OF THE LOCHS
Gold Coast, 4
Grey mare who can be very good on her day, won at $16 for us last month by sneaking up on the rail and getting up in the last stride. Chance again in an open betting race at $5.50
BET: 4 units ew
PATENTED
Toowoomba, 4
Back from a couple of long spells away, but has previously run well first up. Only an EW shot at $15 in this.
BET: 2 units ew
