Today’s Tips: Thursday 17th March 2022
Well sometimes you get days like that… Our best bet finishes stone last, and just one second in Winning Aces, but that’s racing…
Paddy’s Day today, let’s see if we can latch onto a bit of the Luck of the Irish!
Six from the book, including a juicy “roughie” I’m keen on at $23…
ASHBURTON
Race 7: HE’S THE MAN makes his South Island debut, not shown much in recent races, so a bit hard to have at $3.40 after a 12 week break…
BET: 3 unit win
Race 9: Must admit to getting a bit weary and a bit wary of SACRED GIANT, the ex-HK runner who impressed when winning back in September but has done little at short odds since, couple of placings at best… Small win bet at $2.70…
BET: 3 unit win
NEWCASTLE
Race 3: TYCOON HALLIE has been consistently in the frame for us without winning since September, back runner who’ll be descending late, worth ew here at $8…
BET: 3 units ew
Race 7: CONTRIBUTING FACTOR and HASTY DUCHESS are both at telephone number odds for this one… CF was fast from the back to finish second in September, had him marked as next-time and he duly obliged twice here before running down the track at G3. Very nice stats for this, don’t discount him at $23 back at provincial level BEST ROUGHIE…
HD defied a betting drift in December to beat The Chosen One before two ordinary ninth placings… one for odds at $51 (365) small ew plus exotics
BET: CF 4 units ew, HD 2 units ew, include both in exotics…
PAKENHAM
Race 6: KAPALUA SUNSET went into the book with fine finish to break maidens in September, then competed in higher grade (G3 and GP2) unsuccessfully before heading to the paddock four months or so… They’ve got her a $1.90 fav today on return, so you gotta respect that…
BET: 8 unit win
