Ain’tnodeeldun (Morphettville Race 7 No. 4)
This Dundeel colt trained by Anthony Freedman at Mornington has five starts for one win. He made steady ground out wide for 3 lengths 5th over 1300m at Bendigo on 2 September, then charged to the front to go clear and win by 5 lengths over 1615m at Sale on 24 September. He is fitter now and looks well=placed to win again.

Each Way
Classy Joe (Morphettville Race 3 No. 4):
This six-year-old gelding has had four wins from 10 attempts this campaign. He drifted back through the field then worked home solidly to just miss the placings when 0.8 length 4th over 2000m at Morphettville on 19 September, then chased solidly and gathered the leader in late for a 0.4 length win over 2250m at Morphettville on 26 September. Drops back in distance and looks an each-way chance.

Best Lay
Deep Force (Morphettville Race 9 No. 3):
This four-year-old gelding from the Tony McEvoy is the early favourite in this BM 62 Handicap over 1200m. He ran last of 10 over 1221m at Geelong on 24 March, then was 9 lengths 7th over 1400m at Pakenham on 9 April before spelling. He finished last of 6 in a trail on Gawler on 24 September and represents no value here.

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Tuesday 17th September 2024
Key Comments The track is in the soft range. Focusing on runners that are on speed as that is how the track typically plays. The best bet was narrowly denied last start and can notch up another career win in a very suitable race. Best Bet Privacy Tour (Wodonga Race 6 No. 6) Narrowly denied last run and the form has stood up since. While this is a rise in grade, on paper this race is no harder. Egan takes over and drops

Key Comments 7 race card takes place. The best bet comes up in the first and has been subject to plenty of market support and should take beating off the back of a strong run fresh. Best Bet Tycoon Jenny (Corowa Race 7 No. 1) She has been hard to catch lately but form has been back on track and ticks all the boxes for this. Her best is good enough, maps for a good run and is in okay at the weights

Key Comments Racing on a soft track. The best bet comes up later on in the day and should appreciate the drop in grade. It is still looming around healthy odds at time of typing. Best Bet Great Siege (Tamworth Race 6 No. 5) Well placed to be taking this out. Has to lump the weight but drops back in grade off a commendable return on the back of a freshen up. Has won on this track and looks well placed in this

Key Comments Expecting on pace runners to be suited on this track. Running on an expected heavy deck so looking towards runners that will handle the conditions. Best Bet Three Grand (Hamilton Race 8 No. 10) Tricky card to sort with plenty of chances. Three Grand has been around the mark this prep. Unknown on a heavy deck but proven down to soft footing, Allen hops back aboard and he is 1/1 when steering. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
