Best Bet
Geegees City Boy (Launceston Race 1 No. 4)
Tough night of racing to find a best bet with any huge conviction, but I really liked the recent trial of GEE GEES CITY BOY where he edged out PUNK PRINCESS late, who has subsequently won 1st up – he was under a firm grip there late and found when the late pressure arrived.
He was well-fancied during his 3YO season and looks to have returned a more seasoned gelding. If he can sit handy and land in behind the leaders I think he has the potential upside to run them down late.
$4.20 (at time of writing).
Best Each Way
Mindful (Launceston Race 2 No. 11):
Pretty open contest in my opinion, and went looking around the short priced favourite STONE COLD STUNNER (who although a touch unlucky last start, is priced far too short vs its ability). MINDFUL is one horse whose gone round at huge prices her last couple starts, and has been hitting the line nicely.
There’s not a huge amount of speed on paper here and with veteran on-speed rider Siggy Carr taking the steer I think she might be able to lob a touch closer from the middle draw, versus last start where she drew wide and was forced to drift back to near last.
I think she’s knocking on the door to break her maiden and with even luck this could be her race.
$11.00/3.00 (at time of writing) – I will be backing at TT/SP on a 1×3 each-way basis
Best Lay
Stone Cold Stunner (Launceston Race 2 No. 12):
Token “unlucky” runner that’s gone up the price of a moral. Not sure Glenn Stevenson has been able to recapture her early Victorian form and with Codi Jordan riding in career worst form (Last 50 Rides – 6% SR @ -70% ROI), I’m happy to oppose given the slightly tricky draw in a big field – will need luck.
LAY (WIN) for 1 unit at < $3.00

Key Comments Racing on the synthetic and looking to runners that will handle the conditions. The best bet loves racing here and is 2/2 on this track. Still likeable odds on offer about it. Best Bet Speedtail (Ballarat Race 5 No. 8) Loves racing here and is 2/2 on this track. Has been mixing form lately but should appreciate getting back here and has plenty of early speed so expect it to settle prominent and prove hard to catch. Big danger in the

Key Comments The rail is in 6 metres. The track is in the soft range. The best bet all but won last start and looks ready to breakthrough. Best Bet Monte Kate (Kembla Grange Race 4 No. 5) Copped a shocking photo finish last start in what was a very deceptive angle. Looks well placed here and can atone against this suitable field. Big danger is the 1 but might be able to handle the heavy better than it as it has proven

Key Comments The track is in the heavy range. The rail is true. Keep an eye on conditions, aiming for runners who handle the wet. Best Bet Cupid's Kiss (Taree Race 8 No. 8) Good win last start when well backed. This racer looks no harder and is weighted very well and after the claim. Needs luck from the draw but flies over this trip and has a superb record on heavy. Ticks all the boxes. Check odds on SmartB
