The Goodwood Weekend Preview

The Goodwood is the feature race today with Vega Magic returning and claiming favoritism. This race among many more are certainly not what they same on paper.

Cheat Sheet

Morphettville

Race 5 – 3.06pm

Seaburge (7) & Liten In My Veins (1) shape as the two best suited to this race to The ‘Cock’s expert eye and he would not be looking too much deeper into the race than that.

Liten In My Veins (1) has the winning form under his belt with three very handy wins on the bounce coming over this same track and trip, which makes it easy to see why the bookies have posted him as a $4 favourite and The ‘Cock can’t knock it.

That said, he can certainly entertain those who would be inclined to look for more value with a stake on Seaburge (7) at double-figure odds after two very tight minor placings at Flemington and last start at Bendigo

Recommended Betting Strategy:

Those who are keen to take the value of Seaburge (7) at $10 with Sportsbet should not have any hesitation and have The ‘Cock’s full backing, but $4 with Bet365 for Liten In My Veins (1) is also a strong option for those looking to play a straighter bat to this.   

Doomben

Race 9 – 4.20pm

The ‘Cock has a clear-cut top four to round things out in Brisbane here with Anatola (2) being the best of them, from Conchita (15), Noire (7) & O’Rachael next in the queue.

Expect the top-rater will lead or box seat in a race with plenty of speed, and if the two wins so far this campaign are anything to go by they’re going to be hard-pressed to run her down.

Nothing to suggest it won’t be business as usual in this and The ‘Cock will look to throw a handful down and double it on her to wrap things up.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

A medium stake on Anatola (2) at the $2.10 with Bet365 is a very easy way to double your bar tab for the night.  

Flemington

Race 6 – 2.50pm

Relatively, there is very little to split this field on from first to last, and The ‘Cock’s interest in the race is almost as low as his interest in this wedding he has been invited to in London on Saturday.

Rich Charm (1) rates as the best of them but only narrowly ahead of Ozi Choice (6), with Malibu Style (4) & Divine Quality (12) the best of the rest, but given the nature of the race, The ‘Cock would simply let the value differential between the foursome guide his decisions if he were looking to bet here.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

It’s a small swig of Ozi Choice (6) at $8.50 with Sportsbet in this one or nothing at all as far as The ‘Cock is concerned.
