Moonee Valley (Fri)

Race 5 – 8:30pm

The ‘Cock has Marching On (7) rating very marginally ahead of Eureka Street (3) in this one over the Cox Plate course, with these two holding a gap to Persian Empire (9) who is the next best chance, but the winner should certainly be coming from this top trio.

Marching On has been very solid in each of his past three outings which have all shown steady ratings improvement to produce two wins and a tight last start second at Sandown. Getting back to the course where he ran a strong race for second on debut should suit and The ‘Cock has him marked a $2.80 top chance accordingly.

Eureka Street produced his best run of the campaign last start at Caulfield when running second to a dominant winner, which was a big turnaround on some poor runs to open the preparation. Tends to get better with racing so The ‘Cock certainly thinks he can hold that form, plus he holds a great heavy track record which always bodes well at The Valley regardless of the conditions so The ‘Cock rates him a $3 chance.

Persian Empire ran second over this course two starts back and has got plenty of scope for further improvement as the only three-year-old in the race, but his best run to date has rated two lengths short of what The ‘Cock expects the top two to produce here so he has to be taking him on at $2.60.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• Marching On & Eureka Street are providing enough value for money at their $4.80 & $4.20 respective quotes to entice The ‘Cock into a proportional stake on both, with both of these better options than the favourite given the odds. Persian Empire is obviously a big threat but The ‘Cock would be happy to put his balls on the line for a higher percentage and leave him out of the quaddie.

The ‘Cock got this race wrong with his top three selections all struggling. The race was on by Midas Man who he suspects very few people found at $17.

Race 6 – 9:00pm

Warragul (10) rates marginally ahead of Wrecking Ball (2) & O’Lonhro Bay (6) as the top three here for The ‘Cock, though all are too inconsistent and unpredictable to be having any confidence backing them. As a result, The ‘Cock would be more than happy to sit this one out and just watch them go around.

The ‘Cock predicted this to be a very tough race and he was glad he sat this one out.

Race 7 – 9:30pm

Another fairly tight race here and The ‘Cock has Floral Fever (3) marked very narrowly ahead of So Poysed (10), The Avenger (9) & Domino Vitale (4). Ultimately it’s a low confidence betting race, but the winner should be coming from these four and Floral Fever provides enough value at $8 to warrant an investment.

Floral Fever’s most recent runs at Warrnambool and Camperdown have rated very highly and seen him run second and first, with a similar performance over this course back in June seeing him run third in some smart company. Maps to get the perfect spot third on the fence and rates a $4 chance for The ‘Cock.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• The race is tight enough to be including all four runners listed above in the quaddie, but Floral Fever is the standout at the $8 quote which is twice The ‘Cock’s marked price and more than enough to justify a bite.

The ‘Cock predicted another very tough race here and he was correct, with two out of his top four fighting out the finish. However, he was incorrect about Floral Fever who failed to run a hole.

Race 8 – 10:00pm

Very little splitting Cullemmy’s Diamond (7) & For A Song (8) at the top end of The ‘Cock’s ratings, with both rating as $4.80 chances, in what is a very competitive field overall. The ‘Cock has less than three lengths separating this entire field, though if you are looking to cut any runners out of the quaddie make it Savaju (10) and Petites Reward (3).

Cullemmy’s Diamond produced a strong run at Caulfield on her return last start when running second to For A Song, and with a big weight swing between those two going in her favour plus the typical improvement second up, The ‘Cock can see the tables turning.

For A Song hasn’t missed the money in her last six outings and won well at Caulfield last time out as mentioned, so despite being disadvantaged by the weight swing The ‘Cock fully expects she will be in the photo.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• With bookies currently providing juicy overs of $9 for Cullemmy’s Diamond and a similarly strong $6.50 available for For A Song, The ‘Cock would be splitting a stake proportionately on each of them. It’s a low confidence race overall so play this wide.

Another tight finish at Moonee Valley with only two lengths seperating first place and sixth. The ‘Cock’s selections struggled in this race with both horses failing to finish inside the top three.

Canterbury (Fri)

Race 5 – 8:15pm

Fortensky goes in on top of this one for The ‘Cock ahead of Wild N Famous (2) and these two are clearly the best in the race. Despite that, the top rater is currently under the odds at $2.35 and while Wild N Famous provides slightly better value for money at $3.60, The ‘Cock can’t make a strong enough case for him toppling the favourite which makes this a no bet race.

Fortensky has rated highly in each of his two runs this campaign to produce a win and very tight second at Randwick, which is as good a patch of form as he has shown over 1200m through his career so far. Has gone well here previously and rates a $2.80 top chance for The ‘Cock, though with the current price less than that he can easily let it go.

Although The ‘Cock elected to stay out he absolutely nailed this race with Fortensky getting the job done and justifying the short quote at $2.25.

Race 6 – 8:45pm

Kawaikini (7), Al Mah Haha (9) & Reach For Heaven (1) rate as a very tight leading trio here for The ‘Cock, with Ghostly (4), Argent D’or (8) & Star Of Monsoon (3) not far behind them. It’s a very competitive race but The ‘Cock has knocks on all of the top raters, making it a race that could quite easily be avoided from a betting perspective.

Tough race for The ‘Cock and he was glad he stayed out, as three out of his selections fought out the finish in what was a very evenly rated race.

Race 7 – 9:15pm

All Carisma (9) goes in well on top of this and looks like being one of the bets of the night for The ‘Cock, with Spending To Win (6) the next best runner but providing half the price. Behind these two it’s Virgilio (3), Parlay Vous (11) & Viceroy (1) rating as next best.

All Charisma ran them off their feet with impressive sustained speed over this same track and trip last time out, with a run that rated very highly and was a career peak. Still only lightly raced so The ‘Cock is confident that can become his new level, so with a handy claim he will look to do similar again and rates a $3 top chance.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• The ‘Cock is licking his lips at the $7 top price on offer for All Carisma which is more than double his marked price and certainly enough to have him showing all his feathers when investing in this race.

The ‘Cock had All Carisma on top who failed to back up off his last start win and also had Spending To Win as his main danger who after crossing the line first; lost the race on the race on protest to Viceroy.

Race 8 – 9:45pm

The ‘Cock has Geneteau (3) rating on top of this one and as a strong betting option at upwards of $4, topping Miss Que (8), Alart (1) & Duchess Pedrille (2) as the next best trio.

Geneteau has been in strong form right throughout this prep and finally broke through for a win last start over this track and trip. Her second-best performance of the prep also came over this course back in December, with those ratings putting her very close to winning once again if replicated.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• The ‘Cock would be including all runners listed above on the quaddie ticket to close out this final leg, but at the $6 top price, he would also have a stake on Geneteau to round out the night in Sydney.

Geneteau was well supported on the evening into $3.80, however failed to live up to expectations for The ‘Cock as she faded to finish at the rear of the field. His main danger Miss Que won the race well in impressive fashion.

Caulfield

Race 1 – 12:30pm

The ‘Cock doesn’t have any interest in this race as only two horses in the field have been to the racetrack before. Kinky Boom (5) has opened a $2.2 which is far too short for The ‘Cock to get excited about. Messerschmitt (1) has had the race experience and rates as the best chance if you need to have a bet, but The ‘Cock will be staying out as there are far too many unknowns.

Kinky Boom justified her short quote by winning, by nearly two lengths. The ‘Cock wasn’t overly disappointed as betting into races with first starters can be fraught with danger.

Race 2 – 1:05pm

This is another race The ‘Cock has very little interest in given the lack of exposed form. Sunset Watch (5) has come up the favourite off a very sharp jump out but if The ‘Cock had to have a bet it would be on Encryption (1) whose exposed form rates as the best in the race.

Encryption ran well to place behind Ennis Hill with favourite; Sunset Watch failing to run a place.

Race 3 – 1:40pm

The ‘Cock has Paris Rock (3) rated on top here and looks a very good bet at the current price, with Twitchy Frank (2) the main danger and he is supremely confident the winner will be coming from either of these two runners.

Paris Rock has won two from two and both wins have rated very highly to The ‘Cock. Her last win at Ballarat she won by four lengths which rates as the best form going into this and he expects she will make the step up to city grade with ease.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• The ‘Cock is very happy to bet on Paris Rock who rates as a $2.40 chance and The ‘Cock can’t see the winner coming from outside of these two horses.

The ‘Cock nailed this race with Paris Rock scoring a dominant win at $3.60 off a $2.40 rating.

Race 4 – 2:15pm

The ‘Cock has got Last Week (5) marked as the horse to beat given he is already proven over the 2400m journey. He is already well found in the market at $2.40 but The ‘Cock is having difficulty justifying the short quote, especially against Sayed (1) who rates as the main danger.

Sayed has rated well in his two runs back this prep and being third up looks set to return a peak rating for The ‘Cock. His win over 2400m at Randwick last prep rates 3L better than Last Week’s win last start if he can return to form shapes as great value.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• Last Week rates as the top pick and goes in top, but Sayed at the current price rates as the main danger and is the value bet of the race, so if you’re looking for value outside of the favourite Sayed is the one.

Tough race for The ‘Cock however he was glad the price on Last week was far too short to bet on, as he struggled to back up from his last start win to finish at the rear of the field.

Race 5 – 2:15pm

The ‘Cock doesn’t have any interest in this race given the unknowns around Eurack (12) who rates on top, but is first up resuming of a single previous prep. The main dangers include Bob Of The Head (11), Star Stealer (2) and Handsome Thief (1), all of whom rate highly as leading challengers to Eurack and on that The ‘Cock is happy to stay out.

The ‘Cock’s top rater Eurack saluted at $2.60 but it was a race of low confidence which he decided to stay out of.

Race 6 – 3:25pm

Snitty Kitty (3) is The ‘Cock’s top rater here who looks an excellent betting option at the current $2.10 top quote with Palazzo Publico (4), Nasdex (5) & Crystal Dreamer (1) the next three in line.

Snitty Kitty rates highly here for The ‘Cock at $1.60 and looks to score a dominant first up win. Her last two runs at Caulfield last prep produced two wins that were near Group 1 Class. She’s had a short three month break and if she resumes anywhere near that level she’ll win comfortably.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• Snitty Kitty rates as the clear top pick and at $2.10 The ‘Cock is more than happy to put the feathers out and step in. Ensure that the quaddie goes into the bank by including the three other runners listed above but there will be no need to look any deeper.

The ‘Cock’s top selection Snitty Kitty was defeated by Lady Esprit who paid $51 in what was a race that surely knocked most out of the quaddie.

Race 7 – 4:05pm

Bedford (9) is the top rater at $1.90 for The ‘Cock in this and is clearly the one to be backing, with Willi Willi (2) the next best but still a few lengths behind.

Bedford has returned very well this campaign having had four runs which have seen him win twice and place in two others. Last start over this course and distance he won by six lengths and returned a rating which The ‘Cock is confident would be competitive in black type races.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• Bedford is the clear pick of the bunch in this race and is currently over the odds at $2.10, The ‘Cock is very keen to be betting on him to win here. He also encourages including Willi Willi in the quaddie to cover all grounds.

The ‘Cock was keen to bet on Bedford here and he was glad he did, as he saluted at $2.10.

Race 8 – 4:45pm

An intriguing race for The ‘Cock where he rates Prezado (6) as the leading chance, but isn’t overly enthused to get involved, especially with a wall of horses in Bravo Tango (10), Muraaqeb (5), Cliff’s Edge (1) & I Did It Again (9) all capable of testing him.

Prezado ran to a peak rating last start when placing behind Nature Strip and prior to that had only finished outside of the money once. The ‘Cock has no concerns over his ability as all of his runs have rated very highly, however he’ll need to remain at last starts peak rating to be winning and around a bend at Caulfield The ‘Cock has doubts about this.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• As mentioned there is reason to bet on Prezado, but The ‘Cock sees this as a very competitive race and he will be staying out. However, given that the first two legs of the quaddie are rather skinny he suggests including all of the above runners.

Prezado was scratched prior to the race however before that The ‘Cock had decided to stay out of the race regardless. Cliff’s Edge who The ‘Cock had listed as one of his dangers ended up winning the race at $7.

Race 9 – 5:25pm

The ‘Cock likes his top rater Manolo Blahniq (15) on top here; in what is a very competitive race. The main dangers are Leodoro (6), Call Me Handsome (14), Malaise (5) & Chippenham (10) all of whom rate a length behind his top rater.

Manolo Blahniq’s two runs prior to his last start fifth at Flemington rated very highly for The ‘Cock and he has proved himself as a more than capable customer to win here. At Flemington he got a touch lost up the straight and returning to Caulfield we recorded his highest ratings could see him return to the winner’s stall.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• The ‘Cock is happy to forgive Manolo Blahniq for his last start fifth at Flemington and having rated him a $4.00 chance he is keen to have something small on him at $6.00 but his key advice is to include all listed numbers in a very conservative quaddie leg.

Manolo Blahniq saluted for The ‘Cock in the last race which was a fill up. He won by nearly three lengths and paid $4.40.

Rosehill

Race 6 – 3:45pm

The ‘Cock likes his top rater Bye See (9) as a strong betting option here rated a $3.50 leading chance. Main dangers are Samadoubt (1) and Sizzling Bullet (3); the latter of which looks set to improve off his first up run and is the runner to watch at double figures.

Bye See’s last two runs at Randwick have both rated well and she has shown herself to be more than capable against city class horses. Her win at Randwick over 1400m was exceptional and although she was beaten; her latest run at Randwick highlighted her capability of improving and if she continues to do so she is an excellent betting proposition at $4.00.

Samadoubt has been very consistent this prep when winning once and placing in three others, all of which have been aided by his bold front running style of racing. His racing pattern suggests that he’ll be in the finish once again, but he’ll need to have improved at least a length to be winning here.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• Bye See is the bet of the race at $4.00 and the fact that his rated price of $3.40 is close to $4.00 indicates to The ‘Cock that the Bookmaker’s also agree. The ‘Cock is very happy to bet on Bye See to win, but insists that the other two runners are to be included in the quaddie.

Bye See got the job for The ‘Cock and after taking the $4 on offer earlier in the week he was glad to see the support for her come as she was backed into a $3 favourite.

Race 7 – 4:25pm

This is a very competitive race and The ‘Cock has Global Glamour (2) only marginally ahead of Trapeze Artist (5) and Addictive Nature (8) who both rate highly as the main dangers. The ‘Cock doubts the winner will be coming from outside of these three.

Global Glamour was caught wide last start but she stuck on very well in a run that was full of merit. She drops back to 1200m here and racing against a smaller field where she can lead and dictate the race rating very highly for The ‘Cock who has her marked as a $4 favourite.

Trapeze Artist and Addictive Nature both resume first up here and rate as the likely dangers. The latter of which rates highly off his last campaign and coming off two strong trials wins could be ready to fire first up.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• The ‘Cock will be waiting for $4+ before getting involved in his top rater Global Glamour, but there is no doubt she is the leading winning chance and must be respected if so. If the price is right take $4 about her and also include the two main dangers in the quaddie.

Tough race for The ‘Cock as he got the price he was after with Global Glamour but she failed to live up to expectations from there.

Race 8 – 5:05pm

Vaucluse Bay (3) rates as an excellent betting proposition for The ‘Cock ahead of Gamblestown (1) & High Opinion (7); both of which rate as the main dangers. The ‘Cock can’t see the winner coming from outside of these three.

Vaucluse Bay was a 4L winner last time he ran over this course and distance and The ‘Cock is confident that he is going even better this time in. Although he is yet to win this prep The ‘Cock he is well suited here and at a rating of $3.20 looks the one to beat.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• Vaucluse Bay is The ‘Cock’s leading winning pick for the race, but he rates him a $3.20 chance so there is no value in current markets. Should he get out beyond that price , The ‘Cock would be keen to unload on him.

The ‘Cock was correct about the winner coming from the top three listed above however his bet on Vaucluse Bay didn’t go to plan and his main danger High Opinion was able to win the race.

Race 9 – 5:45pm

This is an even race where The ‘Cock won’t be leaning heavily in any direction, with Kawaikini (11), Tip Top (13), Fortensky (1), Kaonic (12) & Don’t Give A Damn (8) all winning hopes and as such he would be more than content with sitting this one out.

Tip Top rates as a $7 chance for The ‘Cock and with the featherweight of 53.5kg on his back and in-form jockey Blaike Mcdougall hopping on board he looks over the odds at $11.

Don’t Give A Damn & Kaonic are both resuming here for their second campaign after impressing in the debut campaigns and the market is suggesting that they are both on track to come back even better.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• The ‘Cock isn’t enticed by this race and will happily let it go in favour of a not bet race or a small play on Tip Top, this is due to his current quote of $11 exceeding that of The ‘Cock’s $7 rating.

The ‘Cock had a small bet on Tip Top, however this was refunded due to his scratching. Don’t Give A Damn went on to win the race at $2.35 after being very heavily backed.

Doomben

Race 6 – 4:37pm

The ‘Cock has got Tversky (6) marked as a clear standout in this race and he will be comfortable taking him one out, with Amenzel (16) & Zendaye (7) the best of the rest.

Tversky is only lightly raced but has been killing them in his two runs back this prep, with a combined winning margin of eight lengths to show for the extremely high rating runs. The ‘Cock fully expects he’ll bring that form to the city and with top jock Browne staying in the saddle there is nothing that will touch him.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• Clear out the garage, the spare room or the wife’s walk-in wardrobe because you’re going to need somewhere to store a pallet full of cash. The plunge has already begun after The ‘Cock tipped Tversky over messenger at $4.20 earlier in the week, but the current $2.40 quote is still better than bank interest and enough to sink your teeth into.

The ‘Cock and his loyal followers got an amazing price on Tversky however were left slightly disappointed after Races 6 – 9 were abandoned.

Morphettville

Race 5 – 3:35pm

The ‘Cock has got barely anything splitting this field from first to last in yet another lacklustre first quaddie leg in Adelaide. His ratings have Tried And Tired (2) marginally on top of Benz (4), and given the price differential between the two at $6 versus $2.60 respectively The ‘Cock could justify a small bet on the top rater, though would be equally comfortable just watching them go around.

Tried And Tired has been in relatively good form since resuming at Flemington on Cup Day and his effort when running a close third over this track and trip three starts back rates well enough to win this if replicated.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• Tried And Tired is marked at $4.50 by The ‘Cock so the current $6 quote provides slight overs and enough value to get involved with if you’re determined to bet, though it’s another underwhelming off-peak Morphettville start to a quaddie where The ‘Cock wouldn’t bother getting too involved.

Underwhelming race to kick off The ‘Cock’s involvement at Morphettville and he was glad he stayed out as Tried And Tired failed to place.

Race 6 – 4:16pm

Another very even race here where The ‘Cock has Counter Spin (1) on top and looking like a good bet off the break, though be sure to keep an eye on betting markets to be certain he is here to win. Behind him it’s a wall of contenders led by Zalmona (8), Trueno (7), Midnight Storm (9), Chapel Road (4) & Oamaru Owl (3) and the rest of the field aren’t far behind.

Counter Spin’s two most recent first up runs have been right at the level which The ‘Cock expects to be winning this and having raced well right throughout his last campaign he can certainly be getting the job done here if he’s wound up. Rates a $4.50 proposition for The ‘Cock so looks overs at $10.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• Counter Spin is the standout option in this field at the current quote of $10, which is more than double The ‘Cock’s marked price and simply too good to refuse. Keep in mind that this is a tight race overall and all runners listed above should be going in your quaddie.

Counter Spin disappointed for The ‘Cock and finished at the tail of the field with his main danger in Zalmona who was a slight drifter won at $9.50.

Race 7 – 4:56pm

Tan Tat Trusting (11) goes in on top of this one for The ‘Cock and provides a high confidence betting avenue at big overs. There’s a wall of runners headed by Queens Palace (13), Flow Meter (1), Divine Sanction (2), Bertwhistle (9), Igitur (3) & Ace Attack (6) rating behind him.

Tan Tat Trusting showed promise in his first campaign when saluting in his maiden win by two lengths in a run which rated highly, and now his two runs back in Melbourne this prep have been strong enough relative to this competition to suggest he is well placed. 1800m looks like it will suit him and he is likely to be in the leading couple, with The ‘Cock rating him a $3 chance and the market greatly underestimating his chances.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• $8 for Tan Tat Trusting is a steal and The ‘Cock will be dipping into it accordingly, and you can certainly consider taking him one out in the quaddie to create some value after two wider plays in earlier legs.

Tan Tat Trusting was on top for The ‘Cock who finished fifth in a tough race.

Race 8 – 5:36pm

Very little splitting Just A Bigger Dash (5) & Bakslap (3) at the pointy end of this one and both look like good bets at double-figure odds. Mystified (1) & Bakers Dozen (7) are the major dangers to them, with favourite Regal Spur (4) another to note after plenty of early market support, though The ‘Cock has his concerns.

Just A Bigger Dash has been a beaten odds-on favourite in each of his last two outings which have both come at Gawler, but despite the result both runs have rated well enough to suggest he will be in the finish here. Shown that he can perform to a strong level at Morphettville previously and should be getting a nice run on the speed today, rating a $5 chance for The ‘Cock and currently priced nearly twice that.

Backslap came over from NSW for his first South Australian start last time out and put his opposition to the sword at Murray Bridge, and The ‘Cock’s confidence is only increased by the quick backup. A repeat of that run will win this, with The ‘Cock rating him alongside Just A Bigger Dash as a $5 chance.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• ­Split your stake proportionally on The ‘Cock’s two top raters here in Just A Bigger Dash & Backslap who both provide very good value for money at overs of $9 & $8 respectively and should prove more than worth your time. At most include Mystified & Bakers Dozen alongside these two in the quaddie to round things out in Adelaide.

Tough viewing for The ‘Cock as Regal Spur was just edged out in a photo finish behind race-favourite Regal Spur.

Ascot

Race 5 – 6:25pm

Very Angry Gal (5) rates just ahead of Rebellionaire (3) at the top end of The ‘Cock’s ratings here, with Vital Dancer (2) & Pearl Trade (4) next in line. Overall it’s quite a tricky betting race with question marks right throughout and very limited exposed form on nearly all runners, so The ‘Cock can quite easily let this slide.

The ‘Cock let this race slide and he was glad he did so, with Pearl Trade going on to win at $13.

Race 6 – 7:00pm

This is a very competitive leg where each of Caipirinha (5), Dainty Tess (2), Battle Hero (1) & Rebel King (7) rate as a tight top four and all have strong winning claims.

Caipirinha is the pick of the bunch on the back of some very strong recent form which has only been dampened by her failure in the Winterbottom, but with some very strong runs around that including last start over this track and trip The ‘Cock has a stronger lean to her than any other. Looks to be the likely leader in a small field and sits on top of The ‘Cock’s ratings as a $3.40 chance.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• Include all four of the runners listed above on your quaddie ticket as anyone of these could win without surprising The ‘Cock in the slightest, though at anything upwards of $3.40 Caipirinha becomes the standout bet of the race.  

The ‘Cock had this pegged as a tough race and he was correct; with his danger Rebel King saluting.

Race 7 – 7:40pm

The ‘Cock has Veuve De Vega (2) marked clearly on top of this one and as a very strong betting proposition, heading West Fifty Fourth (12) as the biggest danger but under the odds, and Adrian Makfi (4) as the best of the rest to keep an eye on at big odds.

Veuve De Vega was strong winner last time out over this track and trip with a performance which rated well enough to win this race by three lengths if repeated here. Admittedly that was a ratings spike, though on the quick backup as a likely leader The ‘Cock certainly thinks he can hit a similar mark today and has him marked a $1.90 chance.

Adrian Makfi is one of the big outsiders of the field but brings some Esperence form to town that actually measures up very well here, and it would not surprise The ‘Cock to see him cause a boilover at the big odds.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• Sirens were ringing out around Peacock HQ when the $3.20 top quote for Veuve De Vega came out to alert The ‘Cock and anyone in the vicinity to jump on quickly. The ‘Cock wasn’t expecting much more than $2 so those are huge overs and he would be encouraging anyone to beg, borrow and steal if that is what it takes to get a slice of them. At $31, Adrian Makfi is another to monitor and consider for a small stake alongside the favourite.

The ‘Cock absolutely nailed this race with Veuve De Vega getting the job done at $2.60 after being very well supported in from $3.20.

Race 8 – 8:15pm

Nothing separating Belter (7), Royal Missile (10), Atlanta Blue (9), A Knight Of Pro (5) & Klondike Kenny (14) at the pointy end of this final leg for The ‘Cock and there are several others who rate only narrowly behind.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

• The ‘Cock wouldn’t be touching the $2.80 unders on the favourite Royal Missile despite having him rated as a leading winning chance, so if you are confident enough to take him on split a stake across all others who are edging double figures. Can easily be a no bet race if that doesn’t interest you, with all runners listed above needing to be on your ticket to round out the quaddie.

The ‘Cock had Royal Missile rated on top but elected to stay out as the price was too short, he did however end up paying $3.70 after getting the job done.
