Best Bets from MyRacehorse HQ

The team at MyRacehorse look around the tracks to provide you their best bet for the weekend.

Had my ear to the ground for this one, received some good mail via a carry-pigeon this morning – Lofty is ready to go bang! He’s bagged two wins from three, including the Gothic Stakes here before a well-earned break. Instead of diving into the Coolmore, the stable decided he deserved a vacation, and now he’s ready to come and go bang!

It’s a tough day to find a best bet – I think if you can find a few winners across the day you should be fine. I’ll side with the class in this race. While 1400m may be well short of Treasurethe Moment’s best distance, she is the clear best horse in this race. 1 from 1 at the distance (albeit against weaker competition), I’m wary of the fitness edge others may have, but last year’s VRC Oaks winner should have plenty on this field. Her breeding suggests this trip is within her range, she’s 1 from 1 at Caulfield, and I don’t expect her to be leading over this trip so the wind is less of a concern. I think she’s a genuine star – and thus I can’t have anyone else in this race over her.

Field Of Play in the Blue Diamond Stakes is my best of the day, somewhat of an open field but the way he debuted was very impressive at 1200m – he was too good! Holding off the other on-pacers in the Prelude (as well as beating MyRacehorse’s own Katsumi Orochi), he should be sitting outside the leaders and will take beating in the home straight. Not convinced? Blake Shinn is on board, they’re building a fantastic relationship with 2/2 wins so far in Field Of Play’s career. To those who have followed me so far, we’re 2/2 now – let’s get the hattrick!

Finishing 3rd in a BM78 FM, which she should have won, this filly has room to develop and get a win. She could not have drawn better in gate 3 and will look to be positive from the start. Being a 5 horse field, the race will be very tactical, but I think the rest of the field will allow her to walk and set the tempo of the race. Being at Caulfield, there might be a slight bias which only plays in her favour. Carrying 54kgs only plays in her favour! My main danger is Miss Aria, who jumps from gate 5 with 58kgs but is the class of horse of the race.

This gelding heads back to the races after his last start win in the Magic Millions Cup on January 17th. He broke the track bias on that occasion and came from worse than midfield to win impressively over horses better than this field. He’s had a quiet trial since then but now gets back to Benchmark grade. Two starts ago he was 3rd to Accredited and Yorkshire, of which Yorkshire has come out and become airborne since that start, winning multiple races. Whilst there are a number of horses in here that have returned to form, I think this horse is on a path to a Doncaster, and if so, should be winning here.
