Caulfield Race 6 - 3.25pm

A small bet proposition has jumped off the page immediately as The ‘Cock turns his attention to Melbourne and it comes from the $11 overs on offer for his top rater Grey Lion (3).

He comes in first up from an 18-week lay-off after a reasonable Spring campaign that saw him run well in the Geelong, Cranbourne & Ballarat Cups, and rates well fresh to see him sit on top of Golden Mane (4) & Prima (9) as The ‘Cock’s next best duo.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

The ‘Cock has Grey Lion (3) marked at less than $5 so there is no turning down the $11 price tag with Ladbrokes for just a small play.

Randwick Race 9 - 4.25pm

This one is a very tough betting race and the market correctly indicates that there are plenty of genuine winning chances, with Spanish Reef (7) rating on top from Silent Sedition (5).

Spanish Reef (7) has some genuine X-factor in this field and looks like one of the best bets for the day, having turned in three genuine G1 performances in Melbourne thus far this campaign and looks absolutely primed to run well here fourth up at her pet distance.

Silent Sedition (5) was unlucky not to win this race last year and following the strong run for third in the Coolmore last time out, The ‘Cock is confident she is in some winning form and will be on the podium once again here.

Pricing both of these runners at upwards of $8 is like serving up a half-volley on the pads of Mark Waugh, with The ‘Cock happy to take both of them with solid stakes as his play in this race.

Dixie Blossoms (3) goes into the race as favourite at around the $5.50 mark and The ‘Cock is happy to recognise that she is in career best form, but the last start third rated worse than the previous two outings and she will have to find some another length or two from the carpark draw to win today. As a result, The ‘Cock will be looking to take her on at that price.

The ‘Cock has extensively analysed every single runner in the race for you, and given his G1 strike-rate, you won’t want to miss it. Click here. 

Recommended Betting Strategy:

Medium stakes on anything upwards of $8 for Spanish Reef (7) & Silent Sedition (5) will see you rolling off the course with exceptionally heavy pockets.

Sunshine Coast Race 7 - 3.57pm

A very clear top rater here in La Scopa (4) who goes in well clear of the next best Skate To Paris (1) with her strong wins this campaign at Grafton and then last start at Ipswich enough to hold her in very good stead here if she can match those performances. 

Skate To Paris (1) has been the bridesmaid in her last three outings and should be on the podium once again today, but The ‘Cock is far more willing to put all of his eggs in the winning form of La Scopa (4) at $5 rather than dividing his attention.

Recommended Betting Strategy:
