Today’s Tips: Wednesday 12th October 2022

From the book on Hump Day…

Looks like a big day of racing today, with meetings at Avondale over here and seven in Aus…

Unlucky for some (but not us!) it’s 13 today from the book…

Let’s get the NZers up now, Aussie to follow…

Couple of sleepers at Avondale…

JACK IN THE BOX 

Avondale, 2

We tipped him to run a least a place last time out, which he did, suggesting he’ll go close again today at $12, sleeper…

BET: 3 units ew

ROSBERG 

Avondale, 4

This fella profiles similarly, and he’s a $7.50 second fav here and can also feature.

BET: 3 units ew

Eleven from Aussie…

GONE WEST 

Caulfield, 2

Ex-Kiwi who went a couple of OK races in Aus last month, ew shot at $12 in this today.

HE’S OUR BONNEVAL, EXTREME FLIGHT 

Caulfield, 6

HOB has been a bit disappointing since a superb win on his Aussie debut and some excellent form in the UK, Drops back to a more suitable distance here, and his stats look good for this, value at $17 and could be ready to bounce back. EF needs to improve too, $19 on offer.

BET: HOB 3 units ew, EF 2 units ew

DAUMIER 

Caulfield, 7

Drops back in grade and has a good record at this T&D. Zahra sticks, and he’s worth an ew shot here…

BET: 2 units ew

SAVONIA, NIGHT PASSAGE

$61 and $26 on offer for these two, ew bets only…

TWICE ON SUNDAY 

Warwick Farm, 5

Good run for third three weeks ago, Berry jumps onboard, she’s moving towards a win and is a shot here at $4.80 in the small field.

BET: 5 unit win

COCO ROX 

Warwick Farm, 6

Untried on heavy but she’s a very honest mare and can strike first up as $2.10 fav.

BET: 10 unit win

ALLUSIONIST 

Warwick Farm, 9

Another consistent animal, and while up in grade here can run at least another place at $8.

BET: 3 units ew

PAINTED BLACK
