Winterbottom Stakes Day
"After finding the $34 winner of the Railway last week, The 'Cock has turned his attention to the Winterbottom & likes a couple of runners at $20+ odds again."
Cheat Sheet
Doomben Race 8
Tactical Advantage (15) rates on top, but it’s very even after that with Sir Plush, Egyptian Symbol, Dothraki, Glenall & Tango Rain the next best rated runners who could all win if the top selection performs below par.
Tactical Advantage produces strong consistent ratings and comes into this off the back of a near career peak performance last start when 2nd to Glenall. He gets a nice weight swing in this and rates as the clear horse to beat.
Recommended Betting Strategy:
- The ‘Cock has a high confidence level in this race and thinks that Tactical Advantage looks great value at anything over $3 with at least double that available in early markets. Outside of him, it’s a very open race so go wide if you want to include others in your quaddy or exotics.
Ascot Race 6
The ‘Cock has a clear top 3 here, with Mantime (6) on top followed by River Dance (1) & Danehill Matilda (12) rated just behind. He’ll be betting right around Finance (13) at $4 who will need to improve at least 3 lengths on recent form to be competitive here.
Mantime led throughout in a strong rating win last start & he typically gets better with racing so The ‘Cock sees no reason why he won’t improve on that effort. He showed good early speed to cross from the wide barrier last start, so he should be able to contend with the wide barrier again here.
Recommended Betting Strategy:
- The ‘Cock rates Mantime as the runner to beat & has him assessed as a $2.50 chance so he’s terrific value currently and looks a great bet. The others listed could challenge if he’s not on his game, so should be included in any exotics.
The ‘Cock is full of confidence after a 37% profit on turnover month in November, so his putting the shoulders back with a big offer for any new members this weekend.
