Railway Stakes Day

"The 'Cock has conquered the Flemington Carnival, he now turns his attention to the West, where's he's got a better record than Northerly and Glen Jakovich combined."

Cheat Sheet

Ballarat Cup

Grey Lion (5) rates 1 length on top, but with several dangers who could all win if he’s off his game including Mr Garcia (7), Antonio Giuseppe (1), Sonntag (9) & De Little Engine (2).

Grey Lion produced a near career best rating run last start in the Queen Elizabeth when a narrow 2nd & that formline looks the clear standout in this race. Trained locally and should get a great run in transit from barrier 3, likely settling close to the pace.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

  • The ‘Cock rates Grey Lion on top and whilst he respects Mr Garcia & Antonio Giuseppe as the biggest dangers, they’re both under the odds, which has created great value on Grey Lion who he suggests backing to win at $4+.

Doomben Race 8

Crack Me Up (9) rates clearly on top for The ‘Cock with Torgersen (12) & Brazen Moss (14) the best of the others in a high confidence betting race.

Crack Me Up produced a very high rating run 1st up and with his career peak coming over a mile, he’ll almost certainly improve 2nd up with the step to 1350. Looks incredibly well suited & The ‘Cock rates him almost 2 lengths clear of anything else.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

  • The ‘Cock will be putting the shoulders back with Crack Me Up and backing him to win at $2.20+ in what looks the best bet of the day in Brisbane.
